Boerne (pronounced burn-ee) is a small town in central Texas.  It has Baptists, Republicans and more old people than a Metamucil sale at Walgreens.

Kyle Courtney, who owns a well water supply company, paid for this open billboard to ABC News.

Kyle says he grew up watching ABC News.  He ain’t watching any more.

Now, here’s the weird part:  there is no Kyle Courtney registered to vote in Boerne.  There’s one in San Antonio but he’s way younger than a man who claims to have been in the water well business for 30 years.  There’s not even a Courtney with the middle name of Kyle in all of Texas who is old enough to have been in business for 30 years.

I dunno.  Maybe he’s a Russian.

Thanks to Victoria for the heads up.

I don’t know how many of you hang out at Reddit, but I often learn some good stuff there, especially under their r/explainitlikeimfive and r/historyporn sections.

This was posted and I thought it was mildly interesting.

No Kidding.

And … the added bonus: they are both dogs!

(Okay, you’ll be happy to know that I have reached my tacky goals for today with one post!)

Come to find out, Dallas County voter data files were hacked by Russians. Dallas is a blue county in a red state. Oddly, no surrounding heavily Republican counties got hacked.

Y’all, how would Russians know which counties to attack in Texas?  There has to be a local connection.  Somebody who knows which parts of Texas are blue had to be involved.

(By the way, I’m on a mini vacation but will check in from time to time.)

Democrats are stupid.  Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.  Ossoff, a political neophyte and mere child, lost by 6% f*cking points against a 55 year old veteran conservative.  And he spent TWENTY FIVE MILLION HARD EARNED DOLLARS for the privilege.  TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. In a district held by Republicans for FORTY YEARS.  That’s just goddamned stupid.  The Democrats are so desperate for a win that they ran a little leaguer against a popular local journeywoman and got their asses kicked, deservedly so.  Did they really believe this kid could win?  Oh, please.

The same thing happened in other races tonight, where the Repubs virtually swept the special elections, and the talking heads on MSNBC are rationalizing “how close” they came.  Stupid.  What a waste of time, money, and brain cells.  The Dems continue to swing for the fences with a 12 oz. bat.  That’s stupid, too.  The party hasn’t groomed solid candidates in God-knows-how-long, and everyone is crying in their beer tonight that the golden-haired boy lost to a tea bagging weirdo.  Is anyone surprised?

Well, here’s the bad news, kids…you can’t turn an entire political movement inside out with a unicorn.  You have to start at the local level and build, build, build.  And for God’s sake, stop pouring generational wealth into candidates who don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of even making a showing.

Jesus…

(sorry, Momma)

Damn.

I understand that’s a very Republican district but that woman is nuts and Donald Trump is, too.

We gotta figure out how to win.

When your attorney general has lawyered up.

Charles Cooper, the well-known Republican lawyer, wasn’t simply in attendance at U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ congressional hearing one week ago to support his friend. Cooper is Sessions’ personal lawyer, he confirmed in an email Tuesday.

Cooper didn’t provide additional details on the nature of the representation—including whether it extends to the criminal inquiry into Trump campaign affiliates’ involvement with Russia.

The attorney general – the top law enforcement person in the whole damn country – has to have his own damn lawyer.

How ’bout just telling the truth, Jeff?  How ’bout doing that?

Thanks to Kyle (a lawyer) for the heads up.
