There’s a California company who has taken to building survival shelters.

A Southern California company is building luxury survivalist bunkers complete with wide-screen TVs, plumbing, and bunk-beds. They start at about $65 thousand dollars and that doesn’t include the cost of digging a big enough hole.

The above mentioned survivalist bunker must be placed 20 feet underground, and California, where they are made, won’t let  people put them that far underground there.  So the guy who builds them says he’s coming to Texas, where we are good at digging holes.

Hey, the big enough holes all over Texas problem is solved because we got a guy digging himself holes all over Texas – Greg Abbott, the guy who wants to be Governor in order to dumb-down the lofty intellectual perch that Rick Perry built.

Here ya go.  Here’s a new one.  Do you wanna know why we need voter ID in Texas according to Abbott?  Obamacare.

Yep, Obamacare.

Here’s his reasoning: Since 2004 when he took office, he has prosecuted only 4 cases of voter fraud that voter ID would have stopped.  Abbott’s office has looked at 66 people on charges of voter fraud. Half of those cases involved mail-in ballots, which voter ID won’t bother.  But, he’s only prosecuted 4 of them.

So why do we need to disenfranchise probably 200,000 voters in order to stop 4 illegal votes over 8 years?

Obamacare.

Somebody keep handing Greg Abbott a shovel because he’s going deeper.

His theory is that in 2008 Al Franken in Minnesota stole the election from Norm Coleman by 225 votes.  He, of course, can’t prove that, but his lips can form the words so he can say it.

Okay, we’re getting to Obamacare so hold on and stand back.

Had Al Franken not stolen the election, we would not have …. ta da! …. Obamacare.

There ya go.  We need voter ID so as not to have Obamacare.

And at Abbott’s prosecution rate, it will only take 56 years to repeal Obamacare.

So, bring on the survivalist bunker because Greg Abbott will stand in your front yard and try to dig himself to China.

George Zimmerman is missing all the attention.

She said her husband of five years was in an argument with her and her father and had his hand on his gun, Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell told NBC News.

Shellie Zimmerman told ABC News last week her husband was “selfish” and has been making “reckless decisions.”

“In my opinion, he feels more invincible” since his acquittal, she said.

ABC News is reporting that punched his father-in-law in the nose and threatened to shoot him and his wife, “according to 911 tapes of a domestic incident today.”

So the victim got to the phone this time.

So Louie Gohmert, Michele Bachmann and Steve King walk into a bar …

Or Egypt.  Could be Egypt.

Gohmert reported —

“We met with for a long meeting General el-Sissi and many of the military leaders, and my friend Steve King mentioned again about our heritage in America,” Gohmert explained. “George Washington, doing what no one had ever done before him, led a military in revolution, won the revolution, and then resigned and went home.”

Al-Sisi or George Washington? Hard to tell.

What?  Say hey?  When did that happen?  Yeah, Yeah, el-Sissi is just exactly like George Washington, er … well, except for the 8,000 of his own people that he’s killed since Morsi’s ouster.  Hey, but that’s minor.  And he does, in fact have a very cool hat like George Washington did.

Please, somebody tell Louie that they’ve already heard the Walk Like a Egyptian joke so quit dancing like a damfool.

Now I am wonder where Michele Bachmann gets off telling al-Sisi —

“We were cheering in front of our televisions back home in the United States,” Bachmann said, referring to when the Egyptian military overthrew Morsi. “We were cheering for you.”

Where did she get this “we” stuff?  I wasn’t cheering.  I was horrified, confused, and deeply disturbed by it.

Why do I get the feeling that these three clowns cannot wait to see this happen in the United States?

Is it just me or is there some weird form of treason going on here?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

No matter how you feel about Syria, the one thing we all know is that it could be worse … George W Bush could still be President.

Uh, wait.  I misspoke with that “all” thing.

Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama believes the country wouldn’t be facing the decision of whether to attack Syria if George W. Bush was still in the White House.

At a town hall meeting on Friday, he claimed that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad would be too afraid to use chemical weapons if Bush were president.

There might be some truth to that.  If someone mentions George W Bush, I’m afraid to even breathe.

Sessions says Assad would have known that Bush would come after him.  Yeah, Baby!  Just like Bush went after Osama bin Laden.

Thanks to Stephanie for the heads up.

Iowa has a whole mess of empty land.  That is a good thing because —-

Iowa is granting permits to acquire or carry guns in public to people who are legally or completely blind.

No one questions the legality of the permits. State law does not allow sheriffs to deny an Iowan the right to carry a weapon based on physical ability.

What could possibly go wrong?

Jane Hudson, executive director of Disability Rights Iowa, says that denying blind people their Second Amendment rights violates the Americans With Disability Act.  My research, although limited, has not shown if Jane has volunteered to help with target practice for a blind person.  I dunno.  Maybe we should start out slowly, like a bow and arrow shooting an apple off Jane’s head.

Thanks to Chloe and Alan for the heads up.

People who count these kinds of things have discovered that Texans drank 44% more hooch in August of this year than they did in the same month last year.

I have some possible explanations for this:

1.  The Republican National Convention was in August of 2012 so all the really big drinkers were delegates in Tampa, Florida.

2.  August of 2012 was when we discovered that Tom DeLay had registered as a lobbyist on sex-trafficking issues.  Everybody stayed sober to see if he was for it or against it.

3.  However, in August of 2013 when it was revealed that while in college Ted Cruz used to stroll through the women’s dorm wearing a paisley robe, everybody said, “To hell with it,” and got rip snorting drunk.

.

I admit it.  I got so drunk that I had to hold on to the grass to lean against the ground.

It should also be noted that the sale of alcohol increases at the same rate as the sale of guns.  I can’t prove that other than the fact that I can see with my own two eyes.

Thanks to Frank for the heads up.
