Texas Congressvarmint Louie Gohmert is talking about sex today.  That rarely even makes the news because Louie finds a way to talk about sparkin’ almost every day.

He was on the electric radio talking about sex education and said that we don’t need it because kids will find out about it all on their own.

You know, you combine physics with biology and some hydraulics and Newton’s rarely talked about 14th law and you have some backseat hoochy koochie just like Adam and Eve figured it out.

… mankind has existed for a pretty long time without anyone ever having to give a sex-ed lesson to anybody. And now we feel like, oh gosh, people are too stupid to unless we force them to sit and listen to instructions. It’s just incredible.

Yep, you need to learn about s-e-x out behind the barn like Louie did.  That, of course, is where Louie also learned about everything else.

But you cannot have an ice cream sex-sundae without a cherry on top, so Louie found a way to weave in communist Russia to sex education.

And it reminds me so much of the summer that I was an exchange student in the Soviet Union back in the Seventies and I was shocked when they were saying ‘no, the children don’t belong to parents, they belong to the state.’ And if any parent said anything in front of their children negative about the wonderful Soviet Union, then we will take their children away and give them to somebody more deserving. And I just thought how horribly shocking that was, that of course parents were the ones who love the children, not the state. And I thought thank God that we don’t have that in our country.

Could somebody please translate that into English for me?

You know that’s the thing about Louie.  You always know which way his pickle is gonna squirt – sex and Soviets.  He’ll work that into everything.

He also claims that he heard a woman on MSNBC say, “hey, children belong to the state”.   No, actually, Louie, that was Uncle Si.

Thanks to Warner and Frank for the heads up.

Those sumbitches gutted the Voting Rights Act.  I do not care what shiny face anybody tries to put on it, the opinion is an egg-suckin’ dog.

They struck down the map of which jurisdictions were covered because of past discrimination.  Now they are going to let congress decide which, if any, jurisdictions might discriminate.  Oh yeah, like congress can agree on lunch time.

The opinion says that racial discrimination is over.  You know, because we haven’t seen any racism at all since Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of Damn America.

Clarence Thomas says he not only would do away with Section 4, he thinks Section 5 is also unconstitutional.  That man is a great disturbance in the force.  I swear he is.

I know we have a bunch of lawyers here, so please feel free to correct me if you have a better spin on this than a dirty ole egg sucking dog.

UPDATE:  Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is positively drooling over the Supreme Court decision.  The jerk can hardly wait to stop citizens from voting.

UPDATE:  11:4o Texas Time/ Texas Senator Wendy Davis has started her filibuster.  You can watch here:  http://www.texastribune.org/

Texas Senator Wendy Davis will need your stories to fill up all those hours she has to stand and filibuster.

Tell Wendy why you believe women’s reproductive rights are important to us all.  Write your story, and click here to send it to her.

I will post right here when she begins and a link where you can watch it live.

Meanwhile, from Colorado, my friend and fellow State Democratic Executive Committee member Vickie Vogel (holding the sign), a true Texas except for the summers she spends in Colorado, stands with Wendy.

Vickie Vogel rounding up Democrats in Colorado!

Okay, guys, a customer who calls herself shy and doesn’t post here has an electric light idea.

Senator Wendy Davis of Texas will filibuster the Texas Senate tomorrow for women’s reproductive rights.  Cecil Richards is on her way to Austin to have a rally.  This is battleground for warrior women.

I know what we can do – at home and in the gallery – now that the customer told me.

I would not be surprised if those in gallery who can, remain standing with Senator Wendy Davis as she filibusters tomorrow. I plan to turn my chairs upside down, or put pots and pans and books on them and on the couches. I don’t plan to sit while she filibusters, so I know what she is enduring. I will work at my desk standing up. I will take my bathroom breaks. .

Please stand with Wendy.  And if you want to send a selfie or have a friend to take a picture, stand with Wendy and I’ll post it here.  Stand in the gallery of the Senate, move your computer to the drainboard and stand while web surfing, or stand watching teevee.

Just stand, dammit.  Everywhere in America, Stand with Wendy.

As you know, we have been trying to have a citizen filibuster against Texas Republicans wanting to take away our right to a safe, legal abortion.

Here’s the cheery and loving bunch of female Republican State Representatives who are fighting to deny rights to other women.

Good Lord, they all look like they just found out that they were runner up for Homecoming Queen.  Or, they sucked on lemons right before they came out.  It’s hard to tell.

The bimbo in the middle is the one who said they run your coochie through a car wash if you get raped.

I have some rotten news.  The Texas House just passed the nation’s toughest restrictions on abortions. Democrats in the House did an amazing job of stalling as long as they could.

Next up – Democrats plan a filibuster in the Texas Senate where they hold 12 of the 31 seats.   However, even if they are successful, Governor Perry is threatening to call another special session.

This is what the last redistricting gave us – a Texas House and Senate dominated by far right wing Republicans on a mission from God to keep me barefoot and pregnant and you poor and sick.

Texas Democrats will fight.  I can promise you that.  We’ll try to keep you up to date here, but I also suggest that you follow The Texas Democratic Party on Twitter or Facebook.  The new chairman is making sure that their messaging has been great.

One thing we are keeping our eye on.  Senator Leticia Van de Putte’s father died in a car wreck yesterday.  We will need 12 votes to suspect the rules and Democrats have exactly 12 senators.  Without Van de Putte, that only makes 11.  If Republicans try to use that, there will be holy hell to pay.

From last night’s debate. The anti abortion bill’s sponsor responding to Democratic State Representative Senfronia Thompson’s speech on rape.

By the way, Senfronia Thompson gave her speech holding a coat hanger.
