This is not political.  It’s one of those Oh Dear Lord, Woman, Get Yourself Some Professional Help things.

Since this is, after all, a professional beauty salon, I will comment.

A woman in Arkansas is accused of shoplifting some eye shadow.  And by “some,” I mean $144 in eye shadow.

I have not purchased $144 worth of eye shadow in my entire life.  But, then again, I am not Little Miss Rainbow.

A jury has found Bob McDonnell guilty.

The former first couple openly sobbed in the Richmond, Virginia, courtroom as the guilty verdicts came in.

Okay, here’s the deal.  The Valois family in Maryland decided to open an indoor / outdoor shooting range at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain.  As you would expect, their neighbors were not too excited about that.  Outdoor shooting ranges tend to get a little out of control sometime.

The family withdrew the plan when opposition got hot and heavy, especially among gun owners.  They were appalled, appalled I tell you, that —

But Valois also said the family has been subjected to “character attacks, protests and physical violence.” On Monday, she said, a weapon was fired “in the direction of our driveway while our children were swimming.” Valois said a report was filed with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office.

Uh, see, that’s what the neighbors were worried about with your proposed two outdoor shooting ranges within 15 acres.  I mean, it’s not like somebody came by in a Prius and littered your yard with old George McGovern campaign posters.  The people you need to be afraid of are those with guns but you want people with guns to come shoot around people with guns who will shoot people with …. it’s just a mess.

Here’s the clicker.

The plan called for two outdoor shooting ranges and one indoor range, open to the public and also catering to law enforcement agencies. The proposal included a 30-foot tower for police sniper training, courses in gun use, gun safety and wilderness survival, and meditation and yoga therapy for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress.

Wait!  Wait!  Do you even know what post-traumatic stress is and how you catch it?  Wait.  Wait.  Do you understand that triggers have a double meaning here?

Sniper training and yoga therapy.  Your one-stop-paradox-shop.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

Texas Congressman Steve Stockman is a scary version of Louie Gohmert but, thanks be to God, he will not be returning to congress next year.

However, it’s difficult to just let him go peacefully into the night when he puts ads on the official Republican hiring website for an unpaid intern position that will last through the end of the year.  It appears he needs to train people to be arrogant, snot-nosed, haughty youngsters with no safe grip on reality.

Click the little ones to see the big one.

Here is a typical ad for a Republican House intern position.

And here is Stockman’s …

The Tea Party – they are much better Americans and people than you are.

Vaya con Reality, Stockman.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up.

Do not eat fast food.  Got it?

Fast food workers have walked off their jobs today in 150 cities to demand living wages.  And they are being arrested.

Thelma Lou made herself a tee-shirt yesterday that says, “I support $15 an hour” and went down to McDonald’s to support the workers in the solidarity of a fair wage for a fair day’s work.  Sadly, she made the mistake of wearing it to the VFW bingo night and a line formed of men with $15 in one hand and Viagra in the other.

Support raising the minimum wage to a living wage.  You’ll be a better person for it.

On July 1, concealed carry became the law in Idaho.  And to the delight of contest wagers everywhere, it only took two months for a college professor to shoot himself in the foot while on campus and teaching a class.

We believe he holds the record for the Holy Crap I Shot Myself academic olympics.

Around 4 p.m. Tuesday, Public Safety received a call about an accidental discharge of a concealed weapon in the Physical Science building. A student said the gun went off in the middle of the class.

Idaho State University has reason to be proud.  They haven’t released the name of the professor but they have said that he was teaching chemistry, one of your more dangerous subjects.

Oddly enough, the President of Idaho State University testified against allowing concealed weapons on campus.  I suspect he knew wherewith he speaks.

Thanks to everyone for the heads up.
