Okay, I’m not saying that the last damn thing on Governor Greg Abbott’s mind is the working people of Texas, but it’s gotta be way at the bottom.

Thank you, Governor Abbott, for reminding us once again that you’re an idiot and that you never served in the military.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.

So this 72 year old guy in Ohio goes to the dentist and gets gassed-up on Nitrous Oxide.

Then, dammit, his cell phone rings in his pocket. You know, like it always does when you’re high on some damn thing.

Instead, James Short grabbed his pistol, firing it and striking himself in the hand, NBC affiliate WCMH reported. The bullet also grazed Short’s stomach.

Short, who was scheduled on Thursday to receive a filling at New Carlisle Dental Group, northeast of Dayton, had a concealed-carry permit for the gun, according to the station, and the dentist did not ban concealed weapons.

Okay, first of all, if you gotta have a gun at the dentist’s office then just maybe you need to get another dentist.

And then there’s this from the local sheriff’s department —

Sgt. Christina Evans-Fisher of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office offered the incident as a warning: “If you’re going to a doctor’s office where you might be put under some kind of medication that might alter your mental status … you might not want to carry a weapon.”

Please note that the word “might” appears three times in that statement like this is pure conjecture.  Warning, my sweet patootie.  That wasn’t a warning.  That was a laugh your butt off at some crazy old man who can’t tell his damn cell phone from a gun.  Thank goodness he didn’t answer it and blow off his ear.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

So, I guess he’s anti taco truck on every corner —

Impressive spelling, though.

A friend of mine, Sheila Healy, is the Executive Director of the Arizona Democratic Party.  Sheila is having way too much fun.  Lookie here —

And then they’ve had this little bit of unintentional humor on a clearly not-funny subject:

Ann Kirkpatrick is running against John McCain and the race appears to be a dead heat.

So the Arizona Republican Party decides to take it to the limit.  They came out with a Wanted posted of Ann Kirkpatrick.  Here ya go  —-

See those bullet holes around the edge of her picture?  You know, in the same state where Gabby Giffords was shot.

No, you do not. You do NOT see those bullet holes. No, sireee. No bullet holes. Close your damn eyes and you cannot see them. See?

Arizona Republican Party spokesperson Matt Specht explains it to you:

Specht in a telephone interview Friday said that round splotches on the poster Kirkpatrick labeled as bullet holes were intended at conveying a weathered image of the Old West.

“They could be just holes, whether it was something that was nailed to a tree or wall,” he said.

Well, there ya go.

The Kirkpatrick campaign has a link to the template the GOP used for the poster and it is described as  “old and dirty paper with bullet holes.”

What bullet holes?  There’s no bullet holes. Here’s the poster on the Arizona GOP website.

This story belongs in Texas or Florida but they want me to believe it happened in Rhode Island.

A 50-year-old Rhode Island man is charged with shooting corncobs at his neighbor’s home.

The Westerly Sun reports that Jeffrey Osella of Westerly was arrested Tuesday night. Police say he answered his door shirtless and had corn kernels stuck to his chest.

Not surprisingly, the story says the man and his neighbor did not get along.

He used a PVC pipe to build a potato cannon but must have been fresh outta potatoes.  So he used corn.

He’s free on bond after being charged with disorderly conduct. And corn littering.

I think the corn kernels stuck to his bare chest may have been the highlight of my day.

Ole Bubba and I were watching MSNBC for a little while last night and on comes this Hispanic guy defending Donald Trump’s immigration plan.  Among many insane things he said was this little tidbit.

Marco Gutierrez, in an interview with host Joy Reid, described Latino culture as “imposing” and “dominant,” and suggested that without the GOP presidential nominee’s 10-point plan to overhaul the United States’ immigration policies, there might be “taco trucks on every corner.”

“I don’t even know what that means, and I’m almost too afraid to ask,” Reid responded.

Oh hell, I know what it means.  It means that this idiot thinks taco trucks on every corner is a bad thing.

Honey, I live in Texas.  If you can’t walk or bike ride to a taco truck, you move.

If Latino culture is imposing and dominant, we’d all be speaking Spanish and drinking tequila in Texas.  Oh wait …

Y’all, the expression on Joy Reid’s face was worth a million bucks.

That expression was oh so appropriate for a woman who had just seen the insides of the bowels of hell.

I stole this graphic from my friend La Lisa Hernandez.  It spoke to my heart.
