Outta Sight, Outta Mind … No, Really Out Of Their Damn Minds

So Florida has a cure for climate change.

Screen Shot 2015-03-09 at 9.27.44 AMOfficials in Florida have been banned from using the terms “climate change” and “global warming” in official communications, according to a report published by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting on Sunday.

Former officials and employees from the state Department of Environmental Protection told FCIR that they were warned not to used the terms in their work after Gov. Rick Scott (R) took office in 2011.

And it’s worked because everywhere else in the world there’s climate change, but in Florida there’s no climate change.  Just ask any official.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Scariest Thing I’ve Ever Seen

Yeah, we’ll find some poor people to screw over, some kids who don’t need to eat, some grandmas who are getting way too much health care, and some steel workers who don’t need OSHA.

Ole Mitch and his boys are figuring just as hard as they can which people to hurt the most.

I hate Republicans.  I do.  They are evil.  Lord, forgive me, I know that I’m not supposed to hate the sinner but just the sin, but dammit, Lord, these people are brimming over with sin.

Quietly Waiting on Rick Miller’s Staff

March 08, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I told you last week about my own damn personal State Representative, Rick Miller, who wrote and introduced a bill wanting the State of Texas to do away with local ordinances protecting gay rights.  It was kinda weird because his son is a highly respected Houston lawyer and gay rights activist.  He is also a proud gay man.

When stuff like this happens, it is almost always followed by something like this.

Screen Shot 2015-03-08 at 1.07.20 PMFamily Research Council BFF and US House Rep. Tim Huelskamp is best known around here for his attempts to block marriage equality and LGBT rights. But the “family rights” advocate now has a major in-house problem. Via Topeka’s CBS affiliate:

A staffer for a Kansas congressman is in jail charged with 17 counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Matthew P. Pennell was arrested on Thursday. Pennell was arrested following an investigation by the Dodge City Police Department and members of the Internet Crimes Against Children task force.

There are two lessons here.  (1) Quit being mean, and (2) Don’t be cocky.  There’s probably three lessons to be learned but you’ll have to ask Rick Perry what the third one is.

I take comfort in knowing that any day now something perverted will come out of Rick Miller’s office or close friends.  Overly self-righteous people are always hiding something.  It usually their low IQ’s but many times it’s their winkies.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Oh Lord, He Thinks He’s the Love Child of Marlon Brando and John F. Kennedy

Ted Cruz wrote a book.

politifact-photos-cruzcover0315

 

Okay, first of all, the title is kinda weird for a guy who has one of the worst scores on Politifacts’ Truth-O-Meter.  But then again, Tom DeLay named his book “No Retreat, No Surrender” when retreating and surrendering was all he did.  You gotta watch Republicans about stuff like that.  They signal what they aren’t.

Second of all, who’s idea was it to put Ted Cruz in a leather jacket like some hunka hunka burning love?  For pete’s sake, the poor guy’s ears aren’t level and his “slight grin” looks like he’s fixing to spear a possum or some damn thing.

Lastly of all, he couldn’t come up with his own idea so he’s rewriting John Kennedy’s “Profiles in Courage” from the standpoint that greed is good?  Where is Lloyd Bentsen now that we really need him?  “Sir, I knew John Kennedy.  John Kennedy was a friend of mine.  You are no John Kennedy.”

The book is out in June.  Whoopy!

Lindsey Graham and the Internet Machine

March 08, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Lindsey Graham has started swooning over Hillary Clinton’s email account.  Bless his heart, he was just all a’quiver about Hillary’s audacious use of that devil’s spawn – email.

lindsey_graham_1Lindsey does not use the email.  Ever.  Never. Without end.  Amen.

He took himself to Meet the Press and announced —

“I don’t email,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) said. “You can have every email I’ve ever sent. I’ve never sent one.”

Hell, even my 89 year old mother uses email.  She was reluctant to use the internet for a year or two because she had heard there was pornography on the internet.  We told her, “just don’t look at it.”  That seemed reasonable to her, so she got an email address.   So maybe that’s Lindsey’s problem – he just can’t bring himself to not look at it.

Here is man who wants to be President of the United States of America in 2016 and he can’t use email. Oh Republicans, y’all are so cute!

And He Can Almost Pronounce It

Louie Gohmert has learned a new word.  He’s stopped calling any who who disagrees with him Hitler.  They are now Ayatollahs.

Gohmert told the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins that while he attends Obama’s speeches out of “respect for the office” even though he rarely agrees with what the president is saying, Obama and other administration officials “disrespected Israel and disrespected the leader of Israel, it was not about the man.” “If you named a caucus by who it helped, you’d have to name this one the Ayatollah Caucus.”

Remember the State of the Union speech where Congressfool Joe Wilson hollered, “You lie!”  Well, at that same speech, Louie Gohmert wore a handmade sign around his neck saying, “What bill?”

Oh yah, they were on a tear that night.

t1home.obama.speech.09.poolSo, I guess I’m asking who gets to define “disrespect?”

Louie Damn Gohmert?

Oh no.
