Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Here we have another reason why we can’t discuss guns.

Ted Cruz has been lamenting (which is a bless-his-heart way of saying whining) about the fact that there’s just not enough conservatives on the Supreme Court.

He says that conservative presidents appoint conservatives to the court and then those appointees turn liberal.  Yeah, because they read the constitution.

Anyway, Cruz is a man with plan.

“Unlike many of the other candidates, I will be willing to spend the capital to ensure that every Supreme Court nominee that I put on the court is a principled judicial conservative,” Cruz said.

Principled judicial conservative are three words you rarely see in a row.  You know, kinda like sweet thoughtful Stalin. Or intelligent cuddly wasp. Those creatures don’t exist.

He doesn’t seem to have a plan to keep them conservative once they are appointed but I guessing it involves Rush Limbaugh and a chainsaw.

Okay, so we’re in Michigan today.

An unnamed 36 year old man was proudly showing off his handgun to a fellow customer or at least that’s his story.  This showing off included a shot that went straight through the wall and into the body of a 15 year old at the pizza restaurant next door.

The kid’s gonna be fine.

The shooter, not so much.

The man who fired the shot was cooperative, police said, and gave them the gun.

I should hope so.

Thanks to Richard for the heads up.

So, it’s in San Antonio.

Franklin Martinez is 77 years old, which the Fox News station in San Antonio refers to as “elderly.”  Honey, my Momma will be 90 years old this month and would slap you upside the head for calling her “elderly.”

Martinez is obviously very proud of the front of his home.  And you know that because …

According to information released by the San Antonio Police Department, 44-year-old Manuel Lopez parked in front of his neighbor’s home on Elvira Street on Sunday afternoon.

When Lopez said he would not move his car, police say Martinez shot Lopez in the head.

It’s San Antonio so it’s not like this was snow plow day or anything.

Lopez is expected to survive his injuries.  Martinez is expected to have his elderly butt put in jail.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up.

Ted Cruz is talking and he can’t shuddup. (Read post below.)

Ted Cruz on Monday equated Democrats with violent crime.

In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday, the Texas senator said that “the simple and undeniable fact is the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats.”

In the same interview, the Texas Republican added, “There’s a reason why the Democrats for years have been viewed as soft on crime. The Democrats know convicted felons tend to vote Democrat.”

Yo, Ted!  It’s because we don’t have 50 cents for the damn condom machine.

Holy cow.

We are soft on crime because convicted felons tend to vote Democratic? See, that’s not how logic works. If we wanted more Democrats, we’d want more convicted felons and if we want more convicted felons we’d be hard on crime.

Ted, you might want to check, either your neurons ain’t synapsing proper or you got a condom wrapped around your cerebral cortex.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
