Well, Primo finally paid the ransom so I’m home again.

While I was gone, the Texas Board of Education made national news again.  Texas Republicans are running a woman for the State Board of Education who has things all figured out.

Republican Mary Lou Bruner, of Mineola, worked for 36 years in East Texas schools as a teacher, counselor and educational diagnostician.  And the diagnosis is fruitcake.

She loves Facebook.

“I’m not ashamed of anything that I have ever said,” Bruner said, noting she plans to bring to same zeal to the state board, speaking her mind even if she’s outvoted. “If I’m on the State Board of Education, I’m going to speak up for the things that I believe because I have a First Amendment right.”

Imagine her shock when she finds out that her First Amendment rights also come with consequences.  Like being called crazy.

She is strongly supported by the GOP conservative stalwarts in Texas.

Mary Lou also believes that baby dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark, the New World Order is trying to reduce the world’s population by two-thirds and they probably have their eye on you, school shootings are the results of teaching evolution, Democrats killed JFK because he wasn’t liberal enough, elementary age students in public school are being shown nude pictures to encourage them to experiment with sex, and that’s before she even has her morning coffee.

So, if you hate little children, Mary Lou is your candidate.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
