Okay, I think you people from foreign states know that my momma lives in a city with a great Mayor – Houston’s Annise Parker.  She just ran for her third term and won 57% against 8 opponents.  She’s as popular as a lottery winner and so hot that you can cook chili on her head.

Last month, she extended spousal benefits to same gender couples married in other states and working for the city of Houston.

The Republicans wet their pants.  Harris County GOP chairman, a fastidious man named Jared Woodfill, went bonkers and accused the Houston Mayor of being … well, something very bad.  You know, like evil bad.  Very.

“If that is what Mayor Parker thinks of law and order, how can she effectively serve as the chief executive officer of a large municipality, whose first duty is to ensure law and order?”

He said that if the city loses “the rule of law, we give into to mob rule and crony politics, aptly described once as the ‘Chicago way.’”

“Texas and Houston will not permit would-be anarchy to become the default standard of government in this city,” he said.

You cannot have spousal benefits and law and order.  You just can’t.  Mob rule will ensue and mobs of married gay people will take to the streets and there will anarchy.

I told you it was bad.

I mean, look at this woman.  You can tell by looking at her that she’s itching to start a mob and head over to Jared’s house and tell him that Alec Baldwin called – he wants his hairdo back.

Admittedly, it’s the first time I’ve seen an anarchist in a gold silk jacket.  But there you have it.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
