Sarah Palin, still the comedian. Her Facebook page.
She wants President Barack Obama to quit playing the race card. And she says that on Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday.
I suspect she feels that President Obama plays the race card when he shows up.
Maybe she should stop playing the stupid card.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up and John for the graphic.
If you were to sit down and make a list of anyplace you’d be willing to go, I’ll bet my best pair of pink boots that the South Carolina Tea Party Convention in Myrtle Beach would be last place. Yeah, even below Charades Night at Dick Cheney’s House.
But, you missed a treat. Louie Gohmert spoke at the South Carolina Tea Party Convention in Myrtle Beach. He got himself filled with the Holy Spirit and went on a tour of Exodus, Chronicles, Isaiah, and Leviticus through all the begets and stonings, to arrive at praise deemed high enough for Benjamin Netanyahu.
Louie believes Netanyahu will be as prized as King Soloman and King David, who, you know, kinda wrote the book on this kinging stuff.
And Louie was so damn eloquent about it …
“I told [Netanyahu], and some people think this is crazy and meddling — apparently from the reaction some of y’all actually know who I am — but I told the prime minister, I said, ‘I mentioned this to you in 2009′ — we met a couple of times since then, but anyway — ‘I mentioned this to you in 2009 and I want to reiterate it, I think, I’m not a prophet, I know the Old Testament, I know history, I think you’ve got a chance to be one of Israel’s great leaders.’”
“I said, ‘I am talking about all time. The big ones. Going back to David, to Solomon, up through Josiah, Hezekiah until the end, on up through Ben Gurion …”
As a side note, Louie does know that King David had 8 consorts, right? I mean, there goes that whole sanctity of marriage thing right there.
I am certain that Netanyahu was high flattered to be called so lofty by a crazy old man from the Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas, who can’t hardly talk English, which is kinda sad since English is the only language he speaks.
I have to admit that I am not a big winter Olympics fan. I live on the Gulf Coast where the sun let’s her rip. Mostly, I have to put on a parka just to watch the winter Olympics. I don’t like heights and I don’t like cold so the only kind of skiing I do is on water while gulping gas fumes from the powerboat ahead of you.
Generally, I will bundle up a watch a few winter Olympic events. I’m not so sure about this year, though.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says gays should feel welcome at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, but they must “leave the children in peace.”
Putin told volunteers Friday that gays visiting Sochi “can feel calm and at ease,” and vowed that there would be no discrimination at the games. But he emphasized that, according to a law banning homosexual “propaganda” among minors, gays cannot express their views on gay rights issues to anyone underage.
“Leave the children in peace?” Oh, for cryin’ out loud. That just burns my biscuits.
Here’s some guy who takes off his shirt more often than a Chippendale dancer telling people that gays are sexual predators and prey on children.

But, most of all this one —
Thanks to Marge for the heads up.
Freedom Industries, those good folks who gave West Virginia licorice flavored tap water is declaring bankruptcy.
I wonder if the owners had to pay extra baggage fees for all the cash leaving the country?

Texas will put up with a lot from their politicians. Hell, they can cheat, lie, carouse, fornicate, take your money, cuss, demand to see your tampons, put up graven images on the state capitol grounds, shoot law-abiding coyotes, be a drunkard, smoke weed, and even be rude.
But, there is one thing they cannot do: use Willie Nelson for cahooting political purposes.
I need to fess up that I am not a large fan of Kinky Friedman as a politician. He’s run as a Republican, an Independent, and now as a Democrat and he can’t get elected dog catcher or even Junior Alderman at Large in Study Butte, Texas. Mainly because he’s a damfool.
However, like Kinky, I favor the legalization of marijuana. I hate Mexican drug lords, filled prisons, and backed up court systems. It’s an idea long past due. Hell, even the Texas Democratic Party has that in their platform.
So, when Kinky up and decided to run for Agriculture Commissioner in Texas, whoop-te-do. The Ag Commish doesn’t have the power to legalize pot. End of story.
So, we have a guy running for Ag Commish on a platform of ego and publicity who hired another damfool (ever notice how they tend to run in herds?) to be his campaign manager.
This campaign manager had some dog dump dumb ideas.
The Kinky Friedman campaign, looking for a fast lane into the general election, thought offering a primary rival a meeting with Willie Nelson might get them on the road again.
The campaign discussed arranging a meeting between Nelson and challenger Jimmie Ray Hogan to entice him out of the Democratic primary for agriculture commissioner, according to emails obtained by The Dallas Morning News. But the plan went up in smoke before the offer could be presented to Hogan.
So, the bright idea was to get Willie to go talk Kinky’s Democratic primary opponent out of running. Everybody was pretty upset by this kind of tactic and Kinky says he knew nothing about it. I believe him. Kinky knows nothing about a whole bunch of stuff.
And, obviously, nobody ran this by Willie because doing this would probably be illegal. Willie does not mind doing illegal stuff as long as it is the right thing to do. Otherwise, count him missing.
We’re sending Thelma over to talk to Kinky. She says she’s read on some of Texas’ finest bathroom walls that he ain’t near as kinky as he claims to be. Thelma would know.
