For folks not on Twitter, Rupert Murdock just proved that he is too damn old and too damn hateful to have a computer.

Get this.

Ben Carson is a REAL black man?  As opposed to …. an unreal one?

Murdoch finally apologized, saying he found “both men very charming.”  Yeah, but did you find them both black?

Welcome to NRA America.

According to The Detroit News, the 47-year-old woman was watching from the store’s parking lot on Tuesday as a loss prevention officer appeared to be trying to stop a shoplifter. When the suspects tried to flee in a dark SUV, the woman pulled out her concealed 9mm handgun and began shooting.

Holy crap.  The loss prevention officer doesn’t even have a damn handgun.

Hey, Annie Oakley, there’s a reason police don’t fire guns in a parking lot. You are damn lucky another ammosexual wasn’t in the parking thinking you were a damn mass murderer shooting a damn gun in a damn parking lot.

Thanks to Alan for the heads up.

Ben Carson. Sometimes you gotta wonder if this guy’s brain has been introduced to his mouth.

When Carson attacked the President for being political by going to Oregon.  It goes downhill from there.

“But, Dr. Carson, would you go?” host Brian Kilmeade wondered. “If the people of the community say don’t go, would you still go if you were president on Friday?”

“Probably not,” Carson replied. “I mean, I would probably have so many things on my agenda that I would go to the next one.”

The next one? Would you like to give us a heads up on when that will be?  I mean, if you’re arranging your agenda we’d like to know what date you’re holding for “the next one.”

Well, he slept on it and has decided to take a new tactic.  He’s calling the victims cowards.

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Tuesday that he would have attacked the gunman who killed nine people at an Oregon community college last week.

“I would not just stand there and let him shoot me,” Carson told “Fox and Friends”.

You enormous jackass.  Someone did that. He got shot 7 times.  Tell me something, how about those schoolchildren at Sandy Hook.  Should they have attacked the shooter?

Carson is a jerk, a nincompoop, and a damn son of a mother goat.

Since this is, indeed, a beauty salon, I would encourage you to read this.  It is laugh out loud funny, and you will never look at candidate hair the same way again. I dare you to read it and not laugh out loud.

Thanks to Pia for the heads up.

Folks who have been around here for a while know that my first true love isn’t politics – it’s baseball.  Thanks to a beloved Grandpa, I knew baseball before I could walk.

I’ve always wanted to grow up and be my Aunt Lillian.  She and her two best friends, who were also retired, rode the bus to the ballpark for every home game. They wore polyester pants and Astros jerseys.  They had perms in their short grey hair and dangly earrings with little baseballs on the end.  One Christmas I gave her a pair of light-up Astro earrings and she loved me best of all for a full year.  They brought scorecards and kept complete semi-official score of the entire game.  They thought the designated hitter rule was an abomination.  They all had a beer or two.  But best of all, these little old ladies referred to the team as “my boys.”

I, too, love the Astros, and every year they break my heart.

Except not last night.

The Astros, with a payroll of $73.8 million dollar – that’s second to last of all major league baseball teams – shut out the New York Yankees with a $213 million dollar roster.

For the non baseball fans – and shame on you! – the Astros are a very young team in a building phase.  No one expected them to win.  Anydamnthing.

They play with a love of the game and overwhelming joy at victory.  They are my boys.

Lindsey Graham, the most proper senator from South Carolina is not a hypocrite.  He  is simply a bad rememberer.

Sen. Lindsey Graham is asking for federal aid for his home state of South Carolina as it battles raging floods, but he voted to oppose similar help for New Jersey in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2013.

When asked why South Carolina deserved the disaster relief money but New Jersey did not, Lindsey did the charming trick of riding a bicycle backwards.

“I’m all for helping the people in New Jersey. I don’t really remember me voting that way,” Graham said.

Pressed further, he said: “Anyway, I don’t really recall that, but I’d be glad to look and tell you why I did vote no, if I did.”

Okay, Honey, but we won’t hold our breath.
