Okay, I Can Live With That

It could not have happened to two more deserving people.

This week’s episode of “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly,” which featured InfoWars founder Alex Jones, came in last place among the four major broadcast networks, Variety reports.

“With 3.5 million total viewers, Kelly’s program not only came in behind Fox’s U.S. Golf Open Championship coverage (6.1 million) but also reruns of CBS’ 60 Minutes (5.3 million) and ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos (3.7 million).”

Honey, when America would rather watch golf and a rerun of 60 minutes than watch two enormous egos – both of whom are a wee crazy – play each other in a gotcha game, I have renewed faith in my country, dammit.

Way to go, America.

Getting Hurricane Season Off to a Roaring Start

June 20, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Tropical Storms

OK, folks, for those of us who live along the Gulf Coast, here we go – the National Hurricane Center has called for the depression in the Gulf to become Tropical Storm Cindy and it’s forecast to come ashore Thursday morning around Sabine Pass.  If memory serves, this is about where Rita came ashore in 2005.  Houston is on the clean side so far, Lake Charles, not so much. Be safe out there.

Let Me Make This Clear

i heard tonight that the country is looking for a new White House press secretary.

I hereby take my name out of consideration.  I just wanted to make that official.

I know you are disappointed but there are some things even I won’t do.

 

Do Not Laugh at Me Because He Was My Governor. He’s Now Your Secretary of Energy.

Rick Perry, who did not even know what the energy department did before he became the secretary of the damn thing, has a new scientific theory about climate change.

Asked whether CO2 emissions are primarily responsible for climate change, Perry told CNBC’s “Squawk Box”: “No, most likely the primary control knob is the ocean waters and this environment that we live in.”

Ocean waters? Like they get hot or cold on their own because of … oh I dunno, whale poop?

 

Rick Perry doing scientific research this morning.

 

According to Professor Perry of the Texas A&M Department of Animal Husbandry, the other thing that causes climate change is “this environment that we live in.”

You mean like the CO2 emissions or fluffy clouds?

Here’s the kicker.

Being a skeptic about climate change issues is “quite all right,” he [Perry] said, suggesting that skepticism is a sign of a “wise, intellectually engaged person.”

That’s the first damn time anybody has ever accused Rick Perry of being “intellectually engaged”  and that crap better stop pretty quick or Ole Rick’s gonna punch … oh wait, he said it about himself.

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.

The World is Not Laughing at Us, Trump.

Trump says the world has stopped laughing at us.

Nope.

But they are laughing.

At Trump.

Remember this?

 

.

Well, Sweden’s PM Stefan Lofven with Lars Lokke Rasmussen of Denmark, Erna Solberg of Norway, Juha Sipila of Finland and Bjarni Benediktsson of Iceland in Bergen all thought it was funny.

 

They are trolling you, Trump.

Plus, that Bjarni Benediktsson from Iceland is pretty cute.

Thanks to Rhea for the heads up.
