Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall …

December 11, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

You’re not going to believe me so I’ll just quote.

Cathie Adams, former Texas GOP chair and current Texas Eagle Forum president, gave a pre-election address earlier this year, claiming that a “Marxist” President Barack Obama had “fried his brain on drugs.”

Fried Cathie

Cathie also thinks that Barack Obama is a Marxist and green.  I have no idea what she means by green but probably like, you know, Kermit, I guess.

Cathie is also one mean nest of fire ants.  She gets to talking and her tongue starts saying all manner of idiotspeak.

During her speech, Adams also criticized a “narcissistic” Obama, saying the look he gave to then-GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney during one of the debates had made her so mad that she “wanted to go up and just smack his face.”

I dare ya.  I double dog dare ya, woman.

You know, I don’t recall Barack Obama having a telepromter during the debates.  After the first debate, his brain appeared to work fairly well.

I can’t be sure about this but I think that must have been Cathie’s Christian speech.  She talks much trashier in private.

Thanks to Bob, Brian, Kathleen and Steve for the heads up.

Vermont: Armed and Frozen

December 11, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so the nuts are everywhere.  We might as well get used to it.

Vermont Rep. Fred Maslack is proposing that the state not only register non-gun owners but also charge them for not having a gun. Under Maslack’s proposal Vermont would become the first state to require a permit for the luxury of traipsing about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun.

Seriously?  You’re gonna make my 85 year old Momma tote a pistol?  Momma can’t hit the side of a barn – when she’s inside the barn.  You want my Crazy Uncle Frank to carry a gun?  Uncle Frank is on the AA Hall of Fame for Wagon Fallin’ Off.  You want me carrying a gun?  I guess I ought to let you know that I don’t like you much.

Now, here’s the fun part.  The guy introducing this bill is a way overboard rightwinger and argues …

I mean, there is no reason why gun owners should have to pay taxes to support police protection for people who choose not to protect themselves. Why not let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way. Isn’t that reasonable? Non-gun owners require more police to protect them and this fee should go to paying for their defense.

Okay, so we’re going to do away with the police and just let everybody shoot each other?  Well, that’ll work – just look at Somalia.

So, if we don’t have police, we don’t need judges and courthouses and District Attorneys and jails and crap.  This is a real money saver and a boon for the funeral industry.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

Justice Antonin Scalia: Have Mouth. Will Yabber.

December 11, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Every time I hear Antonin Scalia talk, all I can think is “that’s not talking, that’s just word spittin’.”

Well, he’s done it again.

Speaking at Princeton University, Scalia was asked by a gay student why he equates laws banning sodomy with those barring bestiality and murder.

“I don’t think it’s necessary, but I think it’s effective,” Scalia said, adding that legislative bodies can ban what they believe to be immoral.

So inducing unnecessary fear is the moral thing to do?

Nobody, and I mean nobody, can be as homophobic as Scalia without getting a little too excited when Ricky Martin starts a new tour.

You know, this banning of morality has always worked really well.  From 1919 until 1933, nobody drank alcohol.  Nobody.  And it worked so well that Baptist are still trying to repeal the 21st amendment.  And, of course, there is no illegal prostitution and we are winning the War on Drugs.

Scalia, who will never hurt his neck toting around his brain, fails to see the difference in murder and bestiality having a victim but homosexuality does not.

Number One way to know you might be gay:  You show up in Antonin Scalia’s dreams.

Email From Hell

December 11, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Customer Deb T. says the best 2 minutes ever to happen in the United States Senate is on You Tube.

She offers an explanation and I can’t do it any better:

Dear Juanita,

Well, that’s a new one, on Thursday,  Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell went from the sublime to the ridiculous when he filibustered his own bill. No, really, I did not make that up he actually did that, filibustered his o-w-n bill.

Now why on earth, you might legitimately ask, would he do such a thing? Well it seems that McConnell was actually trying to embarrass the Senate Democrats, it is just that it kinda backfired. It seems that the Senate’s nastier version of Yertle the Turtle proposed a vote on legislation that would increase the national debt ceiling. Senate majority leader Harry Reid called his bluff and agreed to move forward with the offer. Reid said, Ok, you want a straight up or down vote – you got it. Leaving Yertle, I mean Mitch, twisting in the proverbial wind.  McConnell then objected, arguing that sixty votes — the number required to end a filibuster and go to a vote — were necessary.  Thus invoking a filibuster.

So what we have in effect is a minority leader who has introduced a bill and asked for a vote, and who then opposes proceeding to a vote on his bill saying his bill should be subjected to the filibuster breaking vote threshold of 60 votes.

If that did not make sense to you, don’t worry that is because, it didn’t make sense, at least it anywhere else but Washington.

I think my favorite part about the entire fiasco occurred when the presiding officer (aka  the Senate Traffic Cop), played that evening by Missouri’s own Sen. Claire McCaskill (who, not that she needed to, totally justified my vote for her in the last election with this one act), actually commented on what happened instead of simply issuing the normal traffic directions that the presiding officer is limited to.

McCaskill’s reaction to the exchange between McConnell and Reid? She snapped to attention did a double take and said, “Got whiplash.”

Me too Claire, me too.

Thanks to Deb T. for kicking us off this morning.

So What’s The Deal With These Guys and Spelling

December 10, 2012 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I think the Tea Party folks have been put under a spell.

A spelling spell.

Texas lost a good State Senator when Mario Gallegos died after it was too late to take his name off the ballot.  R. W. Bray ran against him and lost to a dead man.  Big time.  This is a very Democratic and Hispanic district.

R.W. is an African American ultra conservative who used to be an aid for Houston City Councilwoman Helena Brown.  Now, I’m not saying that you could have Helena Brown committed, but if she accidentally wandered into a mental health facility, she could not prove her way out.  Her last in a long line of stunts was paying $3,000 of tax money for refrigerator magnets.

Anyway, one of our customers, who wants to remain anonymous because she’s not bulletproof, sent me an email she got from a Houston Republican.

I am going to re-print it here.  I did not change a damn word.

Dear fellow Republicans,
I come to you today to send you a quick but very important Email. As we all know now the general election on November 6, 2012 did not turn out in our favor. The next morning if left us scratching our heads and asking what did we do wrong. I think we can all agree now the Democrats had a better ground game and a better get out the vote then we did. The question we must all ask our self’s now is how can show we have learned from the last election. Senate District 6 has never been won by a conservative. We are now faced with a special election in the coming weeks. Mr. R. W. Bray ran in the general election and got over 38,000 votes. Mr. Gallegos got 93,000 votes. As of today we have 2 democrats and 1 conservative running. The democrats are not currently attacking Bray they are attacking them self’s. They are splitting the vote amongst them self’s. With the rumors of a 3rd democrat jumping in the race. Turn out will be low and the vote will be split. Now, Bray needs our help we have to turn the 38,000 back out plus more. There are a couple simple things i think we can do such as the following:
– Make 10 phone calls
– Walk a block in the district
– Send the campaign $10.00
– Help pass signs out
These are just a few things we can do to help put Mr. Bray over the top. With a victory like this we would leave the Democrats scratching their heads and let them know Texas will not turn blue in 2014. We have to show them we will take our county back. Below I am including contact information to the campaign please forward this e mail to everyone you know! Let’s get the vote out and win Senate District 6 for the first time!
