We have a local newspaper in my small town.  It’s a small daily and it’s nice to have when your kid wins an award or something.  This is not the first time they have caught my attention.

Before I begin, I will let you know that their masthead is totally male and totally white.  Look, I don’t have anything against white males.  I married one and gave birth to three of them.  White males are not evil within themselves.  Okay, some of them are. Some of them even think they are successful because their grandpa made lots of money and that makes them smart.

For a while now, they have been Donald Trump’s major ego suppliers.  They love him.  They would married him if that didn’t mean they’d be, you know, gay.

So, the morning after Trump announces Pence, they are on it like white on rice.  I’m gonna reprint it here and if they want to sue me, go ahead.  There isn’t a jury in the whole damn state that would not think that the .75 they charge daily for the online version of their newspaper isn’t the same fair price as picture show popcorn.

If that’s too small for you to read, the big copy is here.

They say Pence is cool-headed.  They also say that Pence is “in some ways a little Reaganesque.” I do not know where these boys were during the Reagan administration, but wherever they were, they were drunk.  Additionally, I would argue that his head is not cool, it is merely vacant.

The one thing they did get right is that the Koch Brothers love, love, love Pence.

You know, it’s real nice that they think Trump needs a counter-balance.  I agree, but, Honey, he couldn’t balance even if you mounted him on a tripod.

Newt Gingrich, in a last ditch effort to be veep, said that all Muslims in the United States of damn America “should be tested?”

For what?

The Zika virus?

Doneness?

Which Game of Thrones character are you on Facebook?

Spelling?

The SAT?

Test of the emergency broadcast system?

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Trump released their campaign logo.

Is it just me or does it look like something pornographic is happening between the T and the P?

Yeah, it’s probably just me.

PS – my friend Hal just commented: “well, you can certainly tell who is the pitcher and who is the catcher.”

It’s also deadline day for two of my paying jobs so you guys jump all over this one while I make money to buy some new hairdryers.

Pence.  Oh, what a gift to Democrats.  Check it out.  Pence hates women and LGBT.  Trump hates everybody else.

Some of you were asking why Sarah Palin isn’t attending the Republican National Convention.

El Senior Trump has an answer.

Sarah Palin was asked to speak at next week’s Republican National Convention, but apparently the roughly 3,000-mile flight is too long for the former governor of Alaska to make the trip to Cleveland.

“She was asked,” Donald Trump told the Washington Examiner in an interview Thursday. “It’s a little bit difficult because of where she is. We love Sarah. Little bit difficult because of, you know, it’s a long ways away.”

So, there you go.  She’s going to Russia instead because it’s way closer.
