Bluebonnets To Make You Smile

April 11, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Bluebonnets are a thing in Texas.  Every Easter people dress their kiddos in their Easter clothes and pose them in a field of bluebonnets. It’s mandatory.

This year, police from across Texas did poses because … who the hell knows?

Some of them are very funny.

 

 

Some are clever.

 

 

And some are very … uh, disturbing.

 

 

They are all right here.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

The Only Was Was Who?

April 10, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

All across this country, state legislatures are trying to enact bills that make abortion punishable by the death penalty.

It finally hit Texas.  We were all anxious to hear (and a few of us really weird people even had bets riding on it) which State Representative would be the one to introduce it.

And the winner is …. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican from Arlington.

Tony is kinda crazy.  He’s been married 5 times, but he opposes marriage equality because Jesus.  His goal with this legislation is to make women “more personally responsible.”  Yeah, did I mention that his first wife had a restraining order against him?  I guess he was just pounding responsibility into her head

When asked why the bill makes no exception for rape or incest, Tinderholt said he’s “a firm believer that God creates children in his own image, regardless of how that child is brought into the world, it’s created in his image, and how can someone want to destroy that?”

There’s responsibility and there’s none of your business.

Here’s What I Figure

Attorney General William Barr has announced that  he “has assembled a team to review controversial counterintelligence decisions made by Justice Department and FBI officials, including actions taken during the probe of the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016.”

In short, he’s going to conduct his own Nunes hearings.

So, here’s the best I can figure. The Mueller report must be much worse than Barr lets on.  Now he’s going to use the excuse that he redacted so much because the report was prejudiced against Trump from the start.

There must be some dynamite in the report and I can’t even imagine what’s in Trump’s tax returns.

 

Not Science

On the very day that we get the the first picture of  a lack hole, we are reminded that education ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A baseball field in Connecticut is in shambles after 25 gallons of gas were dumped on a wet infield and set on fire in order to dry it out.

The hope to dry out the infield before a Saturday Ridgefield High School baseball game resulted in flames shooting 15 feet into the air and an estimated $50,000 worth of damage.

It appears that about 15 to 20 parents took turns dumping the 25 gallons of gas on the field while more than a 100 people stood around and watched.

Plus there was a crowd of about 100 parents watching, with their children.

 

So now the entire infield has to be dug out and taken to a toxic waste dump, or in the alternative, served for dinner to whatever genius thought up this plan.

There were at least 100  people there and not one single one of them thought, “Hey, let’s look up gasoline, fire, dry infield on google and see how it’s done.”

Next time, they should bring extension cords and hair dryers.

We let these people vote, y’all.

Thanks to EJ for the heads up.

Damn, I Love Science

The first ever picture of a black hole and the inside of Donald Trump’s heart.

Read about it here. It really is a big deal.

 

Every Time Devin Nunes Gets His Feelings Hurt, A Precious Baby Kitten Learns to Meows Sweetly

April 09, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Y’all, Devin Nunes got his feelings hurt again.

You know that Nunes is suing a Republican consultant, Twitter, and some anonymous people on Twitter for hurting his feelings over things they said about him.

Now he’s suing his hometown newspaper for a headline that says,

 

 

The accompanying story, oddly enough, is about a winery partly owned by Nunes putting on a fundraiser that had a yacht, cocaine and prostitutes and one of the people at the party is suing the winery.

They reported the fact that a lawsuit had been filed and the basis for the lawsuit.  All of that is public record.

So Nunes sues the newspaper.  He knows he cannot win, but suing people makes him feel better about himself and the unethical things he does.   .

Okay, Twitter went wild.  You can click right here to read some of the funniest things said about Nunes and his lawsuit.  They are trying to make it trend and they are #1 now. Nobody likes Nunes.

Especially Twitter.

Thanks to Kyle and SGray for the heads up.
