Louie has become a damn philosopher.

After another mass shooting, Louie said these actual and real words in the English language …

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) responded to Monday’s shooting at the Washington Navy Yard by calling for more people to be armed, and insisted that blaming guns was like saying that obesity was caused by “too many spoons.”

Aunt Thelma, God rest her soul, used to say, “Girl, you’re talking and there’s words coming out of your mouth.  But, honey, you ain’t saying nothing.”

.

You know, they have crazy people and violent video games in Canada, too.  But they don’t have people shooting up places.  You think that’s because they don’t have spoons?

Thanks to Frank for the heads up.

Wendy Davis will have  BIG announcement on October 3rd.

In Houston, Texas, a 17 year old brother tells the cops that a drive-by shooter shot his 16 year old sister in the leg with a .45 caliber.

Except that didn’t happen.  Oh, his sister got shot, for sure, because she’s in the hospital, but the brother now fesses up that he was playing with the gun.  And it went off.  And hit his sister.

“He then attempted to hide the weapon. He informed us of what he did. We retrieved the weapon,” said Sgt. Eric Batton. “He’s very upset about it. He didn’t mean to do it.”

He says he got the gun from a relative.

Then there’s this story about a Michigan man who got shot at a Chicago shooting range.

Authorities say 49-year-old Michael Babinski was shot Tuesday afternoon at Midwest Guns in Lyons. He’d been shot in the neck and head and died several hours later after being taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Police say they believe the shooting was an accident, but they’re investigating and reviewing surveillance footage.

Anybody know where the good guy with a gun was?

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

There’s an old Texas saying about somebody who is rude and uncouth.  It goes like this, “He’d talk about ropes in the home of a hanged man.”

Rick Perry would prefer to talk guns 22 miles from the Naval Yard.

Yeah, he’s tone deaf.

Perry will tour the factory of Beretta USA in Accokeek, Md., on Wednesday, according to CNN. Perry has gone after several Democratic governors lately, airing radio ads in California, New York, Missouri, Connecticut and, most recently, Maryland, to try to lure businesses to the Lone Star State.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

I gotta talk to y’all about Greg Abbott, the Texas Attorney General who is running for Governor.  I don’t like him and always will.

You know that part of the brain that tells you “I probably shouldn’t say one thing and then do another”?  He doesn’t have that.

So, it comes as no surprise that he’s the play toy of the Koch brothers.

Greg and Friend

When Greg Abbott needed a little help flying around as his campaign for Texas governor gets underway, who did he call? The Koch brothers. Abbott’s latest campaign report shows that Koch Industries in Washington provided Abbott with the use of an airplane for $7,500 worth of travel. The report doesn’t offer details. And Abbott’s campaign did not return a call seeking clarification. But one thing’s clear: the Texas Republican attorney general is a favorite of the billionaire Koch brothers, who are big opponents of Obamacare and efforts to curb air and water pollution.

In actuality Greg Abbott isn’t against Obamacare and rampant life-threatening pollution.  He just wants a free ride on an airplane.  And to make his Overlords happy.

Don’t like him.  Always will.

Remember last week when I showed you that Steve Stockman wanted to join that PAC of Texas Congressmen (the one based in Georgia) but he couldn’t spell Texas?

Well, I was wondering why that application to the FEC was handwritten.  I hadn’t seen that since the invention of the typewriter.

Neither had the FEC.

(Click the little one to get the big one.)

So now Stockman is on the horns of a dilemma.  He can either follow the FEC rules or risk losing his soul to the internet, which of course is a tool of the devil.

Being a congressman is not easy.

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