Ben Carson just announced that he’s running for president, too.

This is a physician who said that Obamacare was the worse thing to happen to this country since slavery.  And that the United States was Just! Like! Hitler!

He once suggested that Christian bakers might poison the wedding cakes of gay people.

He eats bullets for breakfast and spends the rest of the day shooting off his mouth.

He’s welcome to the clown car.  But I imagine the Republicans will make him sit in the back seat.

Well, there’s a cure for the Monday morning blues, my friends:

Get Carly Florin to announce that she’s running for president every Monday morning.  Then you can start the day with a giggle, knowing that we’ll get to hear more about how liberal environmentalists caused the drought in California and how she really didn’t wreck Hewlett-Packard.

I kinda suspect she’ll be just as successful as she was for Barbara Boxer’s senate seat.

If you hang around the beauty salon long enough, you will get to meet every goofball who ever set foot in Texas.

Pamela Geller is one of them.  She is a woman itching to get somebody shot.  She is the most virulent anti-Muslim person on the face of the damn western hemisphere.

She tried to speak here a couple of years ago and we did a peaceful protest.  That was when she was claiming that President Obama was the love chid of Malcolm X.

Well, she held a “Draw Muhammed Contest” in Garland, Texas (think Dallas) and, as could be predicted, gun men showed up.  They shot an unarmed security guard.  Police returned fire and killed both of them.

Geller was dancing in the streets.  She could not have been happier even if Roy Rogers rode up on Trigger.

One of the suspects has been identified.

Look, I am a defender of free speech.  I will defend until my death the right of somebody to say hateful things wherever and whenever they want.  I am also a believer in personal responsibility.  You should be willing to take personal responsibility for your free speech and not expect an unarmed security guard to take a bullet for what you want to say.

Pam Geller can kiss my bible butt.

About 11 dozen of you people have sent me this link from Jim Wright at Stonekettle Kitchen, one of the funniest and smartest people on the internet machine.

You warn me that Jim uses profanity.  In Texas, we call that cussing a blue streak but I truly admire his ability to use profanity creatively.  So few people can pull that off.

I am one of his many, many fans.  But, thank you guys for checking to make sure I was.

Apparently the Trans-Texas-Goofy Train is still at the station selling seats.

Texas Senator and Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz has picked up a trumpet and a feathered hat and is marching with the band of folks who think Obama is going to take over Texas with 60 troops and a Humvee.

Get this.  Speaking in South Carolina …

“My office has reached out to the Pentagon to inquire about this exercise. We are assured it is a military training exercise. I have no reason to doubt those assurances, but I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty, because when the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration, the natural consequence is that many citizens don’t trust what it is saying.”

Okay, so either you trust the military or you don’t.  There’s no Obama stuck anywhere in that equation.  If Obama ordered the military to round up citizens and overthrow the government and the military followed those orders, then you’re gonna have sons and daughters arresting their parents.  Do you really think that’s gonna happen?

Ted ends his rant with this prize —

“Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.”

Likewise, just because you have a college degree does not mean you have a damn lick of sense.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Honest to God campaign sign in the mayor’s race in Blanco, Texas.

No dog whistle needed.
