Cluck. Cluck. Cluck.
I live in Fort Bend County, Texas. Most experts are pretty sure that this is the year Fort Bend will flip Democratic. I think local Republicans agree with that because this is the weakest slate of candidates they’ve put up in three decades.
The Fort Bend Herald, a family newspaper who has not had a female or a minority on its editorial board since ducks started going barefoot, probably will be the only newspaper in American to endorse Donald Trump. I can’t give you a link to the newspaper because they charge ten times what the New York Times charges to view their stories online. So, I’m just going to steal one on the front page. They can sue me. My lawyer is better than their’s.
The Republican County Chair molts twice a year, but it’s great having the extra eggs.
Okay, the Republican county chair has caught whatever it is that Gary Johnson has because there have been bunches of debates, some as recently as 4 years ago.
Democrats have incumbents, too. They’ll debate.
My theory is that Mr. Republican Gibson saw the Trump / Clinton debate and wasn’t willing to take a chance considering that his two non-incumbent candidate are the most vulnerable.
Plus, then nobody can ask the Republican Party Chairman why at last report, his party is $23,000 in debt. The FEC says you can’t do that. That’s not allowed. They did it anyway.
And to be fair, even the Fort Bend Herald said that debates are good for democracy and they disagreed with the Republican Party Chairman. For the first damn time in history.
If you see Mike, tell him I said he’s earned the title of The Coward of the County and I know what the failed former Rosenberg Mayor is scared of.
Talking debates – tomorrow we get to see the loony Mike Pence, famous for enacting a law in his state that mandates

Right out of the Ted Cruz playbook. He said those exact words to Mr. Sadler when more than one debate was requested. After watching that one debate, I wondered why anyone would vote for Cruz. Well, as we all know, you can never underestimate the intelligence of a Texas republican.
2Yes!
3That makes perfect sense!
Republican candidates can make the rounds explaining to voters in person the benefit of a vote for them… THE EGGS… without the muss or fuss of opponents debating whether or not they’re chicken.
I guess these guys are afraid to put their thoughts out in public where they would be soundly mocked.
4Can someone explain to me what it is about Republicans– many of them, anyway– that they cannot recognize or use the word “Democratic”? They always slash off the last syllable. Weird.
I think we should slash off their first syllable and call them Publicans, as in the Biblical phrase “Publicans and sinners,” which seem to be groups that overlap a lot.
5I like Publicans too Rhea!
6Citation for misuse of apostrophe (“My lawyer is better than their’s.”) $10 fine.
7Where do I send my check?
8How very Trumpian of them!
If Hair Trump shows up for the 2nd debate – town hall style – it will be a miracle! Hill will mop the floor with him again. I look forward to her fiery blast of “how good a businessman can he be if he loses almost a billion dollars in one year!” That one will always be closest to my heart as it is so true!
I also hope she takes aim at all the Kristians out there who support him with “How can any Kristian support a Presidential candidate who tells them the absolutely must see a certain sex tape!” Yeah. I would like to know, too. That was the one over the top that most met my parents definition of near occasion of sin!
9maggie, when you said that Clinton will “mop the floor” with Trump, I had a lovely vision of her wielding him upside down with his abundant hair as the mop head…..
10JJ, send that check to the nearest food bank.
11It’s the fault of the laptop. JJ is perfect.
12@maggie#9- SnacilbupeRs are probably smart to dodge “debates”.( probably as smart as Don the Con dodging income taxes) They almost always end up looking like near complete idiots. I’m certain their presidential candidate did, and I’m just as certain he’s damned glad these aren’t real debates along the lines of Lincoln/ Douglas.He’d have looked more the near complete idiot.( I have to say “near complete” because no one, not even Don the Con is a complete idiot.
13Slipstream,
Here’s the lunch Hazel fixed for our phone bankers today. Volunteers got fried chicken, cabbage, green salad, potato salad, rolls and peach tea, all homemade. Can I just give the $10 to her?
Shoot. The picture didn’t show up. Here’s a link to it!

14Juanita Jean,
Heckydarn. If I had not been 3200 miles away I would have come by just to enjoy the lunch Hazel put on. Sure, pay your apostrophe fine to Hazel.
Good thing, though, that I am only a grammar enforcement officer and not on the aesthetics control board. I have serious objections to that plate.
15slipstream, you’re right about the plate. (I had to pause in middle of “you’re” because I was afraid of being cited.)
Rhea, I used to get irritated by the Pubican Party’s use of “Democrat” for “Democratic.” When I realized that was why they were doing it, I decided to let it go so they fail in their purpose. Just like they fail at everything else, except screwing up the country and over their dupes. Fark them.
