The F word that will forevermore be associated with Rick Perry.

California Gov. Jerry Brown minced no words Tuesday in dismissing Rick Perry’s much-ballyhooed radio ad encouraging businesses to flee the Golden State and move to Texas. Brown called Perry’s ad campaign “barely a fart.”  “It’s not a serious story, guys,” he told reporters. “It’s not a burp. It’s barely a fart.”

Kinda like his Presidential campaign.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

Everybody knows that Fox News fired Sarah Palin, but now they’ve let go of Dick Morris.  You know, the lispy guy who predicted that Romney would win in a landslide.

I kinda hate to see Morris go.  Like Palin, he was so damn goofy that watching him was the only place you could make fun of the handicapped and not feel guilty about it.

But, not to worry.  Fox still has plenty of Dicks left.

They take canoodlin’ real serious in Virginia.

While Virginia is making cohabitation legal, there’s other stuff they are not taking off the books.

And don’t even think of doing other stuff. Virginia’s “crimes against Nature” statute — Section 18.2-361 — still prohibits oral sex. Even between married straight couples.

It’s a felony.

Also, you’re not allowed to have s-e-x of any kind in your car.  Or go to a bawdy house.

In Texas, you cannot get frisky with animals.  Virginia appears to be more opened minded about that.

Cussin’ is a misdemeanor in Virginia.  Hell, sometimes lettin’ loose is worth the fine.

Did I ever tell y’all about my friend Ben Denham who punched a guy straight in the nose and then went and turned himself in to the Justice of the Peace to pay the fine?  The guy he punched needed punchin’ so badly that the JP himself offered to pay the $250 fine.  Nah, Ben wanted to pay it.  It was a matter of pride to him.  Well, word got around and damn near everybody in town volunteered to pay the fine.  There ensued large arguments over who got to pay the fine until the guy up and left town in the middle of the night for fear that everybody would rather part with hard earned money than look at his face.  I do not know what they has to do with sparkin’ in Virginia  but sometimes breaking the law is worth paying for.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.

Sure.  She’s just your average retired woman. She’s not running for anything.

(Go, Hillary!)

Super DeLux Brand Christian David Barton went on Glen Beck’s radio show and told a story about how school teachers and students used to be armed back in the olden days.

“The great example, in the 1850s you have a school teacher who’s teaching. A guy — he’s out in the West — this guy from New England wants to kill him and find him. So he comes into the school with his gun to shoot the teacher, he decides not to shoot the teacher because all the kids pull their guns out and point it at him and say, ‘You kill the teacher, you die.’ He says, ‘Okay.’ The teacher lives. Real simple stuff. Saved the life of — there was no shooting because all the kids — we’re talking in elementary school — all the kids pull their guns out and says, ‘We like our teacher. You shoot our teacher, we’ll kill you.’”

Well, come to find out, Mr. Barton was cnfused a little bit.  That story comes not from history but from a Louis L’Amour fictional novel, Bendigo Shafter.

I am shocked.  Just shocked, I tell you.

David Barton can read?

This is how you know Texas is at home today.  Welcome to Dallas.

The downstairs neighbor (and I use that term in its geographic, not traditional, meaning) shot the upstairs neighbor because they left dogdump outside his door.  So he shoots the woman and then goes upstairs and shoots the man – who is trying to jump off the balcony to escape.  Then he stands over the man and shoots him a couple more times for good measure.  Then he drives off in his Lexus.

Luckily, the one month old baby upstairs in the apartment was unhurt.

There is no word on whether or not the dog was injured.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
