Sine Die is Latin phrase meaning, “Thank you, Apollo, the Texas Legislature session is finally over.”

My friend La Lisa Hernandez noted that the last day of the legislative session is also the first day of hurricane season.

“How will we know the difference?” I asked.

She replied, “One has gale-force winds devastating all in its path. The other’s a hurricane.”

One wise Latina.

Senator Lindsey Begonia Graham is running for President on a platform that what this country needs is more war, dammit.

Yeah, and watch out what you’re thinking because there will be none of that under a Lindsey Graham administration …

“If I’m president of the United States and you’re thinking about joining Al Qaeda or ISIL, I’m not going to call a judge,” he said. “I’m going to call a drone, and we will kill you.”

I wasn’t thinking about it until he said that.  Now that’s all I can think about.  Don’t drone me, Bro.

To his credit, Lindsey Graham was in the military so he knows a lot about … well, motions and writs and stuff.  He was an Air Force lawyer and contrary to popular belief Air Force lawyers see combat a lot less than you’d suspect.

Harrison, Arkansas, is 35 miles south of Branson, Missouri, the play land for old white people.

If you go to WhitePrideRadio.com, it’s the official radio station of the KKK, a notoriously not-racist club.

They also have a show called “Amos and Andy.”  Seriously.  And one called “Stories of Our People,” also known as “Every Freekin’ History Book Ever Written.”

They have a lot of shows called Old Time Radio.  Damn y’all, there weren’t radios when these people were young.

 Thanks to Richard for the heads up.

Newton County, Georgia, sheriff’s department decided they needed some officer training.

They were probably right.

A sheriff’s deputy was shot last Friday for no good reason.  At least that’s what we can surmise with the deluge of forthcoming information.

According to Newton County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Felicia Jefferson, the incident happened during an officer training session. The deputy was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Jefferson would not say if the deputy shot himself, or if he was shot by another officer.

I think they might also need some crime solving training if they don’t know who shot who.

I’m not saying that guns are quite often not safe in the hands of professionals and people with proper training but … oh hell, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Well, now they are gonna be drunk, obnoxious, and armed.

Campus Carry carried the Texas Senate 20 – 11.  Democrats unanimously voted against it.  It now goes to the Governor to sign.  I’m wondering if he’s going to sign it with little bullet hole fonts.

Here’s the catch:  private universities – where rich kids go – can opt out.  Yeah, they don’t have to do it.

I personally give it until mid November before “accidental shootings” start happening on campus with more regularity than term paper stealing.

Orin Kerr in the Washington Post this morning.

If I understand the history correctly, in the late 1990s, the President was impeached for lying about a sexual affair by a House of Representatives led by a man who was also then hiding a sexual affair, who was supposed to be replaced by another Congressman who stepped down when forced to reveal that he too was having a sexual affair, which led to the election of a new Speaker of the House who now has been indicted for lying about payments covering up his sexual contact with a boy.

Yikes.

Republicans beat us 3 to 1 on that deal.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
