Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

West Texas Republican Congressman Randy Neugebauer, who lives in the desert and bought a damn yacht with his campaign contributions, has up and decided to screw the poor because, you know, freedom.

A new bill from Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX), chair of the House Financial Services Committee’s Housing and Insurance Subcommittee, would raise rents on some of the nation’s poorest families. The bill apparently intends the rent increases to balance the possible cost of allowing the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to lower rents for families with somewhat higher incomes. The rent increases could cause hardship — and even homelessness — for vulnerable families.

Dandy Randy is very interested in helping people with money because poor people don’t see the value in giving him money to buy … oh, say, a freekin’ yacht!

Thanks to Don A. for the heads up.

UPDATED:  I guess that Republicans have had ironyectomies to go with their humorectomies.  There have been 4 more emails with the “c” word featured repeatedly. In those same emails they add that we have no class because, you know, calling women the c word is so damn classy.  One of them is coming from the Czech Republic by a guy who claims to be Canadian.  So, that happened.

Okay, I guess our picture of Amanda made the Rush Limbaugh show or something because we are suddenly being inundated by some rather harsh emails.

We took a vote a year ago and decided that this was not going to be a debating society and we are not going to feed the trolls.

I couldn’t post most of these comments even if I wanted to because Momma would whack me upside the head.  Seventy percent of the emails complain that we are not classy and they other thirty percent use words demeaning to women, including the “c” word.  Yes, that “c” word and by “c” word, I do not mean classy.

One charmingly amusing one was a woman who submitted five comments complaining that I was “censoring” her by not letting her and her fake email address post.  Note the times on these three of her comments.  Click the little one to get the big one.

Her ip address comes back to Raleigh, North Carolina.  Odd, because I was betting on Alabama.

We were also called “Libtardos”  by Michael Moore.

Hello, Louisville, Kentucky.

Just thought you’d want to know.

Newt Gingrich.  Dear Lord, I can hardly even say that name without breaking out in giggles.

Newt, for some damn reason, though President Obama said that our pilots have the “courtesy” to do these bombings.

Newt took to the Twitter this morning to berate our President for crazy talk.

Yeah, yeah.  It sounded so nice that he tweeted it twice.

Oops.  Never mind.

Thanks to the kids at TPM for the heads up.

Take a break today.

Okay, okay, I hate to be tacky.  Oh hell, who am I kidding?  I majored in tacky at college.

A group of Texas women decided it was time to support their men, who they rightly refer to as a “bunch of redneck men.”  The wife of Open Carry Texas founder CJ Grisham decided it was high time to counteract Moms Demand Action, an anti schoolhouse massacre group.

She decided to turn herself into a pickup truck gun rack and invite all her gun packin’ girlfriends to meet her in San Antonio to show off their guns.  They refer to themselves as Goddesses with Guns.

I don’t think Aphrodite is gonna have to turn in her crown.

(See, sometimes tacky just walks into your house without even knocking on the door giving you no choice but to invite it to dinner.)

The San Antonio Express News says that about 40 people showed up at the rally, but that they were “mostly men.”

Sadly, there are few Goddesses with Guns in Texas so if you want one, I suggest you grab one soon.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
