This September 24th, The Pope will address members of congress.  He knows he’s going into a den of thieves, right?

The Pope has had some pretty powerful things to say about capitalism and says that being “pro-life” also includes economic equality.

Just as the commandment “Thou shalt not kill” sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say “thou shalt not” to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills.

Okay, we here at the beauty shop are taking bets on which congressvarmint is gonna be the first to stand up and holler “You lie!” at the Pope.

I do not trust these guys to behave if somebody like the Pope tries to get between them and their sugar daddies.  Hell, there’s even some Democrats who need to look worried.

Just as an afternoon delight, I want to show you a picture one of my friends sent me.  Her grandmother loves Jesus and put what she thought was a picture of him on the mantel.

I know.  I’m going to hell.  But I just can’t help but think that Jesus would laugh at that, too.  (If you don’t get it, ask any Star Wars fan.)

Illinois Republican Senator Mark Kirk caught the Louie Gohmert fever and has been jabbering incoherently all over the place.

President “Barack Hussein Obama” aspires “to get nukes to Iran,” he told WRKO radio. The president will be responsible for “tens of thousands” of deaths in the Middle East, apparently, because in Kirk’s twisted reality, Obama is Iran’s pro-nuke agent. He even likened U.S. negotiators to 1930s European leaders who appeased Adolf Hitler.

See?  Certifiable Louie Gohmert Fever.

But the newspaper in Illinois aren’t as gentle as the newspapers in Texas.

Mark Kirk suddenly has more in common with your unhinged uncle than a deliberative member of the U.S. Senate.

Illinoisans thought they elected a center-right fiscal conservative. They instead got the love child of Michele Bachmann and Ted Cruz.

I love that line.  I do.

Thanks to Bob for the heads up.

Through the kindness of their hearts, a SuperPAC named the Texas Patriots PAC, has built a list for us.  It’s a handy dandy Idiots List, complete with the names and addresses of the biggest idiots in Texas.

You can click right here and then right here to see the complete list of people who bought tickets to a “Trump Event” in Texas. They spent upwards of $50,000 of perfectly good cash American money to see Donald Trump.

I even noticed a $1,667 donation from the “Friends of Cecil Bell.”  Cecil has friends?

So there you have this handy list but then comes how this PAC spent their money.  And here.

They have one paid staff person.  Oddly, considering the multiple trips to the hardware store, you gotta wonder if maybe this guy has taken it upon himself to go ahead and build a big ole wall at the border.

Click the little one to see the big one.

So, that’s way too much money for hand painted signs.  Plus, there’s no indication they bought a dictionary.

Verdelia thinks they were buying lotsa hammers and sacks, so that if Trump ever needs a brain transplant, sack of hammer would raise his IQ by 50, 60 points.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

The Rick Perry SuperPAC, Opportunity and Freedom, says that they are going to spend one. million. dollars. in advertising to insure that Rick Perry comes up enough in the polls to secure a spot in the first GOP presidential debate on Fox News on August 6th.

One. Million. Dollars.

Hell, I can’t imagine who would spend one.million.dollars. for the opportunity for Rick Perry to say, “oops” on national teevee again.

This is the ad they are going to run.  And they will run it —

Barbour noted the radio advertisements will run on the conservative Salem radio network, which boasts an estimated 10 million listeners a week and includes talk shows hosted by Bill Bennett, Hugh Hewitt and Mike Gallagher.

He said the ads were aimed at reaching a “really dedicated, loyal group of conservative activists, and it’s really important we reintroduce Perry to them.”

Hell, with loyal conservative activists, just do an ad of him saying the n-word, shooting off a bazooka on a busy street, and hollering at “baby killer” to random women.  He’s be in first place before the sun set.

Thanks to Donald for the heads up.

So here ya go —

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he has authorized the adjutant general of the Texas National Guard to arm Guardsmen at military facilities across Texas.

Abbott joins governors in Florida and Louisiana in the call to arm Guardsmen after a gunman attacked a recruiting center and a Marine-Navy reserve facility in Chattanooga earlier this week.

Well, good luck with that, Governor.  Have you told the crazy Jade Helm people about this?

Cheeezzzz…. that man would arm the Girl Scouts if he could.

Costco makes birthday cakes.  Pretty good ones.

Even the birthday dinosaur cake is yummy  ….

… but that’s only because it promotes satanism.

Jessica Eckerdt of Queen Creek, Arizona, sent an email to Costco.

“I was extremely shocked and upset to see a demonic symbol written clear as day on my six-year-old son’s birthday cake. What was supposed to be a whimsical dinosaur became something very distasteful. I was extremely surprised at Costco for allowing such an inappropriate joke be sold to an unsuspecting victim.”

Having trouble find it?

It’s the 666 that the dinosaur legs make.

Personally, I thought it was weird that the dinosaur was pooping birthday.
