Oh Dear Lord Louie Gohmert. That’s His Name: Oh Dear Lord Louie Gohmert.

October 16, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Lookie here.

Louie Gohmert (R-TX) declared on Thursday that Center for Disease Control (CDC) Director Tom Frieden was in charge of “the Democrats’ war on women nurses.”

Speaking on Glenn Beck’s radio program, Gohmert — who represents Texas, where one Ebola patient has died and two nurses have been infected — said he was “okay, but do any of us really know for sure.”

“You know, it’s a shame that the CDC head, Frieden, is apparently the commander of the Democrats’ new war on women nurses,” Gohmert opined. “Because, goodnight, they set them up, and then they throw them under the bus.”

Oh yeah, it’s Obama’s fault.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.

Yachting Randy Neugebauer, Republican in West Texas, Is Pimping Your Ride

October 16, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Now, y’all know how I feel about Republican Congresscreep, Randy Neugebauer.  Any man who lives in a desert and spends his campaign contributions on a yacht he keeps in Washington DeeCee has been in Washington DeeCee way too long.

Randy wants to pimp your ride.

$1,500 worth of Car Window Clings from the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation?  Don’t you wonder what the hell they say?  I did.

So, through the miracle of modern big time journalism, I looked it up.

Here ya go.  For $5.00, you can buy yourself one of the uncolorful and unimaginative clingy thingies.

Fifty cents of every $5 goes to a veteran group sponsored by Mike Huckabee.  Fifty whole cents.  Imagine that!

The rest goes to shove God down your throat.

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

Florida Wins!

October 16, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Take a few minutes out of your busy day because you may never get to see anything this damn weird again.

In Florida, Rick Scott refuses to debate Charlie Criss because of a small fan under the podium.

Only booing brings him out.

After All, She Has Already Measured For Drapes and Made An Appointment to Have The Place Fumigated

October 16, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I do believe that Ann Romney wants to be First Lady more than Mitt wants to be President.

She’s back on the electric teevee saying “well, maybe, if you twist my arm.”

Ann Romney told CNN on Thursday that she is still “done” with the idea of another presidential bid, but adds “you know, you never do say never.”

“At this point in time, that’s where we are mentally is done,” a teary-eyed Romney said on CNN’s “New Day” on Thursday morning, when asked about the possibility of her husband Mitt Romney seeking a third presidential bid.

Bless her heart, this woman is so detached from reality that she was shocked and devastated on election night.  She really believe that she was moving into the White House.

The second clue that she’s detached from reality?

But Romney said Thursday on CNN that “we never say never” and that the country would be in a better place if her husband were president, calling him “one competent guy who really is a great leader.”

Uh, obviously not.

I hate to say this but looking over the GOP field, Mitt’s all they’ve got.  No wait, I don’t hate saying that.

Thanks to Jenkins for the heads up.

Ebola University

October 16, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

There’s a small two year community college 20 miles outside of Dallas called Navarro College.  They are not one of the big ten and their football team got beat by the Baptist Girls School last year.

Screen Shot 2014-10-16 at 7.59.25 AMBut, they are highly selective with their student body.

Earlier this week they sent out a letter to students who had previously been accepted to attend starting in the fall semester.

“Navarro College is not accepting international students from countries with confirmed Ebola cases.”

Students coming from Nigeria.  That is kinda funny.

Nigeria, it seems, is an odd place to enact that policy. The country of 174 million has only registered 20 total cases of Ebola since the index patient in July, a response so strikingly effective that the CDC dispatched a team to the country to study their methods.

So here we have it.  A college real near Dallas is rejecting students who might be exposed to Ebola.

Dallas: where they have had 200% more transferred Ebola case than London, England.  I suspect the London School of Economics will reject all Texas students.  Hell, what am I talking about?  LSU might start rejecting Navarro students.

If Navarro wants to find students exposed to Ebola, I suggest they look in their cafeteria.

Damn, I get a headache when people in Texas are so ignorant.  As you might suspect, my head hurts a lot.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

David Hamilton: Wants To Be a State Representative. Likes to Bruise Women

October 15, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The last damn thing we need in Texas is another woman-hating bully in the Texas House of Representatives.

We have a guy running for the state house from my county.  He’s a Republican.  David Hamilton claims that he was arrested in Kentucky, but it’s just political.  He likes to protest at women’s health clinics.

During one such stint outside a clinic in Kentucky in 2009, Hamilton said he was arrested for disorderly conduct after he attempted to get around a counter-protester. The charges were later dropped. The following year, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder sued him for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act – a case that was settled in 2013.

Settled?  Really?

I like his language of “getting around” a counter-protestor.  First, it was not a counter-protestor.  It was a clinic escort. Women attempting to enter this Lexington, Kentucky, clinic were so horribly harassed that other women volunteered  to escort them into the clinic to keep men who are 6 foot 6 inches tall, like David Hamiliton is, from screaming at them and attempting to use their bodies to block women from entering the clinic.

Hamilton’s “getting around” the escort meant that he physically attacked her and left a bruise.

He grabbed her arm and shoved her so hard that he bruised her.

And now he’s running for the Texas House of Representatives.

You can help us get the word out to the Democratic base by donating a few dollars right here.

Hamilton admitted to the office of U.S. Attorney Eric Holder that he was guilty and paid a $2,500 fine to his victim in 2013.

From his arrest report —-

He bruised her.  In Texas we call that an assault.

Here’s the first page of his agreement to pay the fine.

He did not “move” her.  He grabbed her and he shoved her with such violence that it left a bruise.  He did that to a woman.  And he’s proud of it.

Now take a look at this 6 foot 6 inch guy’s website.  Click the little one to see the big one.

His “high ethical standards” don’t include not hitting women.

Now here’s the clincher.

Republican Party of Texas Chairman Steve Munisteri said the party would consider allocating resources to Hamilton’s campaign. “There is a potential window of opportunity there, and we’re going to take a look at it.”

Texas Republicans are all behind this guy.  They are going to give him money to help him get elected.

Please defend a woman’s right to chose and help us defeat David Hamilton, please click here to help us fill out the “electoral restraining order” on David Hamilton.  We want to send a strong message that shoving women is unacceptable.  Any dollars you donate will be used to get out the Democratic vote in that race.

The Democratic incumbent in that race votes for women’s rights.  We need to keep him there.

Thank you for any help you can give us.  This guy scares me.
