Should have let him shoot an apple off your head.  He aims high.

A man faced murder charges on Friday after accidentally shooting his friend while testing a bulletproof vest, the Baltimore police said. Mark Ramiro, 30, was arrested in the shooting of Darnell Mitchell, 28, late on Wednesday. The Baltimore Sun reported on Friday the shooting was recorded on a video camera by a third person. In it, Mr. Mitchell brags that he is about to take a “deuce deuce in the chest” — a shot from a .22-caliber bullet — before he is struck just above the vest.

Ya think alcohol was involved or just copious amounts of dumb?

Thanks to Sandy for the heads up.

I really don’t think this piece of polling information fits under the category of news.

It’s more like things we already knew but now have proof.

A new Public Policy Polling survey found that 37 percent of Republicans who voted in the Mississippi primary runoff election between incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) said they would back the Confederate side if there was another Civil War.

The other 63% have already seceded.

I wonder when they’re going to realize that they are admitting to treason?

 Thanks to Larry for the heads up.

Republican Rep. Tom Marino, said to be the most conservative congressman from Pennsylvania, has a press secretary.

No, scratch that. Had a press secretary.

Ryan Shucard had a rotten morning.  He’s been charged with a felony.

Shucard entered the southeast door of Cannon with the weapon. The Smith & Wesson 9mm and magazine were found during the search required for entry into the building, according to Schneider. People entering Cannon, including those with staff identification badges, like Shucard, are required to step through metal detectors and place bags on the belt of an X-Ray machine.

Yeah, Marino is not a fan of gun control.

Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.

I don’t even know where to start to remind you of how totally evil UBS is.  It’s a Swiss global financial services company that admitted helping Americans hide money to keep from paying taxes.  And that was some of the nicer things it’s done.  You can start here.

Now, why any politician would want to take money from a bank so damn corrupt and toxic beats the hell outta me.  But they do and have no shame about it.

After all, Randy Neugebauer has yacht payments to make.

Yeah, he took $5,000 to his Super PAC from them.

But, that’s not the only sleaze who takes their money.  Lookie here.

Rubio already took $10,000 from them for a race that isn’t even happening for two years.  Now that’s swanky, ain’t it?

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

Republican Congresscrap Pistol Pete Sessions – who got that name because he’s always shooting off his mouth – has done it again.  His middle name is “Sue Obama.”

Rep. Pete Sessions, the House Rules Committee chairman who led Wednesday’s hearing on Republicans’ plans to sue President Obama, presented the legal credentials that have put him in this position of responsibility.

“I’m an Eagle Scout,” the Texas Republican told his colleagues. “I studied the merit badges that we took about governance, about cities, states, the national government.”

Screw Obama and the constitutional law expertise he rode in on.  Pete Sessions has a damn merit badge.

Even Jonathan Turley admitted that there was very little chance that the Republicans could win this lawsuit but …

He counseled Republicans not to worry about the steep odds, saying, “I don’t believe that the challenges in front of this lawsuit is an excuse to do nothing.”

In other words, you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.  It’s a bogus lawsuit but by golly they can make the President of the United States of America sweat.  And the speeches they can give on the House floor – oh the speeches! – right before the mid term elections.

And Pete was not alone on the Texas Ship of Fools.

To overcome the contradictions, Republicans on the panel employed various strategies. Rep. Michael Burgess (Tex.) played the bumpkin. “I’m just a simple country doctor, not a constitutional lawyer, but I do understand due dates,” he reasoned.

And in the alternative let me add, “I’m just a learned constitutional lawyer, but I can take out your appendix.”

Goofy has come to town and he ain’t leaving until he’s rectified the fact that the presidency belongs to white boys.

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

We have a winner!

Louie Gohmert says something insane every day, but now he’s hit the big time by doubling up daily.

First, Obama is making women get raped.  Yes, indeed.  Obama won’t “shut the border” like it has a screen door or something, and that alone proves that Obama is waging a war on women.  No, seriously.

According to the Tea Party-backed Republican, “criminal aliens” had committed 2,993 homicides in the past six years.

“And they’ve committed at least 7,695 sexual assaults,” he insisted. “You want to talk about a war on women? This administration will not defend the women of America from criminal aliens! By the thousands, and hundreds of thousands!”

If you’re wondering where he got those numbers, check his rear end.

And he’s calling for war against … I dunno, children?

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert (R) asserted this week that the crisis of women and children refugees seeking protection inside U.S. borders was so serious that it put “our continued existence at risk.”

During a speech on the House floor on Tuesday, the Texas congressman renewed his call for border states to invoke their rights under the 10th Amendment, and to declare war against an “mass invasion” of refugees.

Dude, they are children.  He wants Texas to go to war against children?  Well, in his defense, it won’t be the first time.

Beyond the economics and politics [of Rick Perry rejecting Medicaid expansion under Obamacare], lives are at stake. Lack of insurance will certainly mean more deaths. How many more? Approximately 9,000 a year, according to Dr. Howard Brody, director of the Institute for Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
