Well, just in case you’re needing a little Tuesday morning pick-up fun, here ya go.

It’s the new and improved Thoughts and Prayers game where you can be an actual congressvarmint doing something about guns, guns, guns.

I need to warn you that the audio on the game is cool but very loud so turn down your sound.

Thoughts and Prayers for your deadly entertainment enjoyment!

Trump Really IS Self-Funding

June 21, 2016 By: Primo Encarnación Category: Uncategorized

One of Trumps major selling points leading into the primaries was his fabulous wealth, if we use “fabulous” in the mythical sense of the word.   The credulous conservative cretins believed that he was worth $10 billion, and that that cash would be spent to make America something or other. But without a view behind the curtain, speculation has run to Trump having much, much less than that. And most of what he does own is tied up in things like jets, buildings, resorts and golf courses, all of which are notoriously hard to fit inside a wallet.

Still, the legend Trump was selling, the prestige (in several senses of that word) was that he would be self-funding, and so free of ALL evil corporate influences, save one: himself. Well, this part is true: Donald Trump is “self-funding,” just not in the generally recognized sense of THOSE words.

The recent FEC filing from his campaign has revealed that the biggest ticket items paid out in the last month are for things like jets, buildings, resorts and golf courses.

  • Jets: over $300,000 to Trump’s TAG air
  • Buildings: over $125,000 to Trump Tower
  • Resorts: over $400,000 to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
  • Golf Courses: over $65,000 to Trump National and Trump International, both in Florida
This guy's got NOTHING on Trump.

This guy’s got NOTHING on Trump.

There was one expenditure over $200,000 which did appear to be paid to someone other than himself.  It was $208,000 for hats.  Lots and Lots of Hats.  Each one saying Make America Something-or-Other.

Trump is not self-funding in the sense of paying for his own campaign. He’s self-funding in the sense that he’s funding himself.

So Hot That We Have To Feed The Chickens Cracked Ice To Keep Them From Laying Hard Boiled Eggs

Lordy, Lordy, when it is too hot to land an airplane from Houston, it’s too damn hot.

A Phoenix-bound flight was forced to return to Houston Sunday evening because of weather conditions in the Valley of the Sun. Passengers who were on the plane said the flight crew told them the record-breaking heat is to blame.

United flight 6186 departed from Bush Intercontinental Airport at 2:30pm and was minutes away from landing at Sky Harbor Airport when the flight crew notified passengers it would be turning back around because of the weather.

And that weather was heat.  It was too hot to land an airplane.  From Houston.  Houston, mind you, the totally air conditioned city because it’s so damn hot.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Rock ‘N Roll

The GOP’s most celebrity mouthpiece, Ted Nugent, did not have a good weekend.  I know you’re sad about that.

For his concert on Friday night, acidic rocker Ted Nugent didn’t draw much of a crowd even though the tickets for “Laconiafest’ in New Hampshire were lowered from $67 to $5.

Honey, I would not go see Ted Nugent even if they paid me $67.

They are even claiming that he skipped town without paying the employees of the venue.

Twinsies!

Clarence and His Wife

June 20, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so there’s this large and cheerful rumor going around the internet machine this morning that Clarence Thomas is considering resigning after the November election.

I can see where that rumor got started.  I mean, with Scalia gone, who has their hand up Thomas’s hinney to operate him like a muppet?  Apparently Scalia left a well trained replacement.

Clarence’s wife, the resentful and odd Genni Thomas, says no way that’s happening.

Paul Bedard is a writer for the Washington Examiner and Genni does not like him one little bit.

Sorry if I ruined your Monday, but Thomas is here to stay because Genni says so.

 

Broken Fun With Guns Rules

June 20, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Fun With Guns has some rules.  To make Fun With Guns, first of all, nobody can die in the story unless it’s the person accidentally shooting themselves.  If you run a Goggle search on “accidental shooting” you will see dead bodies everywhere.

But sometimes there is an exception.

Authorities say the owner of an Ohio gun shop who was teaching a concealed carry class was fatally shot in the neck by a student who accidentally fired a weapon.

The (Cincinnati) Enquirer reported that the shop owner, 64-year-old James Baker, was shot on Saturday while students practiced weapon malfunction drills.

I do not know where the good guy with a gun was, but he was probably not trained too well either.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
