So, Donald Trump says he’s going to get aggressive now.

Now?

Okay, so best I can figure that means he’ll also be nakkid when he walks in on women in dressing rooms at beauty pageants.

He’ll take a chainsaw to the next debate?

He’ll stop sleeping altogether and ride a cocaine high until November 28th – which is when he told people to vote.

Oh Florida, how cruel your Lady Karma is.

Okay, so Michael Richard Maser is a piece of work.  He’s a convicted child abuser and a stalker.  Just the kind of guy you expect to be armed to the gills in Florida.

And speaking of gills —

A homeless Lake Panasoffee man was charged Thursday with having a firearm as a convicted felon after authorities revealed he threatened to shoot another man before shooting himself in the genitals.

Oh yeah, that’s our guy.

Want a cherry on top of that ice cream?  It happened in church parking lot.  Maser threatened a guy.  The police got called.  Maser drove to a church parking lot and shot his gun.  And his penis.

Maser then drove to the Grace Bible Fellowship Church off East Arbor Street, got out of his truck and fired the revolver. The round struck his penis, left testicle, left inner thigh and exited his left leg, according to the report.

But, it could have been better.

Police found a STEN Mk. II submachine gun on the floorboard behind the passenger seat of Maser’s truck.

It would have been a lot more fun if he had used that.

Thanks to Lee for the heads up.

Donald Trump is threatening to sue the New York Times for saying he has had inappropriate sexual grabby stuff.

Some states (not Texas) have SLAPP suits, where you can sue someone to make them not say something that they haven’t said yet.  Weird, right?  Here’s the fine print: A SLAPP suit is one “intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition.”

So, he wants to subvert the First Amendment.  That’s a nice way to start the day.

However, if Trump does sue, that means there will be loads of “discovery motions,” meaning that he will have to produce all those tapes from the Apprentice, which is exactly what he’s trying to avoid.

And there’s one more trick to all this. You can’t sue somebody for saying the same thing you are saying about yourself – even if what you are saying about yourself is untrue.

Let’s pretend that I announced that I’m a thief, even if I have never stolen anything.  Then you claim I’m a thief.  I can’t sue you.

Whatever Donald is paying his lawyers, it’s too much.

Another giant thank you and a hearty Look What You’ve Done! to those of you who donated to Hazel Lundy’s Phone Bank.

It’s paying off.  Fort Bend County made the Big Time Nate Silver’s 538 Blog!

The model suggests that several traditionally Republican suburban locales with diversifying and highly educated electorates could be poised to flip and support the Democratic presidential candidate: Orange County, California; Gwinnett County, Georgia; Chester County, Pennsylvania; Fort Bend County, Texas; and Virginia Beach.

 

The home of Tom DeLay is primed to flip.  I knew you’d want to know and if you haven’t had a chance to make a difference in this election, please send Hazel a few dollars at the link above.  If you already have, please feel free to leave a note for Hazel and her phone banking gang for making a difference.

Seriously, guys, thank you so much.

Okay, so all the racist nuts ain’t in Texas.

A candidate for New York State Senate has sparked a firestorm in Harlem after telling NBC 4 New York’s I-Team he was planning to hand out “Kool Aid, KFC and watermelons” at a campaign event in the primarily black community.

Jon Girodes, the Republican candidate for New York’s 30th District in the November election, used the racially stereotypical food reference in an email to the I-Team during an exchange about a disputed real estate deal.

“Ps I’m hosting an event in Harlem which will be in front of the state building in a few weeks. We will [donate] Kool Aid, KFC and watermelons to the public on 125th street in Harlem. Please join us to help the community,” he wrote.

Last time he ran, he got 4% of the vote.  I can’t imagine why.

Thanks to Jean for the heads up.
