Another greedy Republican crook from Texas, former Senator Phil Gramm, might be one step ahead of a couple of indictments.  At the very least, he’s once again unemployed.  Until, of course, a money changer spot opens up at the temple.

Phil Gramm: already in the handbasket

Gramm’s leadership at UBS has come to a halt.  They call it a “retirement.”  What a nice word for getting the hell outta Dodge.

Gramm was the mover and shaker at UBS when all hell broke loose and UBS found itself at the center of international banking hanky-panky.  While in the senate, he passed the laws to make it possible for UBS to hide American money from taxes, and then when he left the senate in 2003, he went to work for UBS.

Nice job, huh?  Things went great for a while, money flying out of this country, making Phil and his friends rich and beloved.

But,

Guess the bank must have been disappointed when he wasn’t able to get them out of the mess their greedy tax evasion business got them into. Hmmm. That does make one wonder just how much Gramm knew about UBS’s business of pushing secret accounts that the IRS couldn’t trace, smuggling diamonds in toothpaste tubes, and generally doing whatever necessary to make loads of money by helping US taxpayers avoid their tax liability under US tax laws?

PS In a “serves it right” result, UBS reported a fourth quarter net profit decline of 76%…..

Haircuts and drinks are on the house the day Gramm is indicted.

One other interesting note.  Although he never registered as a  lobbyist, Gramm “helped build the UBS Office of Public Policy in Washington, D.C.”

Well, if Newt can be paid to be a historian instead of a lobbyist, I guess Phil can be paid to be a water boy.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads-up.  Don’t forget:  this week only, if you order a Blizzard and mention that you saw it on Juanita’s, Alfredo promises not to charge you extra.  This offer is only good until Saturday.

After the GOP debate, which by the way was almost as mean and hateful as their ads have been, somebody asked around about what people thought of Newt’s performance.

Newt was “intellectually superior” to the others on stage.

Governor Rick Perry

And how would he know that?

Bless his heart.

I knew it.  I just knew it.

The right has finally run out of things to vilify.  Cripes, they’ve made motherhood dirty, and Lord knows what they’ve done to dancing and rock-n-roll.

So now it’s the Girl Scouts.

Bob Morris. Goodness sake, he looks like one of those "loners" you hear about

Republican Representative Bob Morris is a very, very creepy guy.  I would be willing to bet cash American money that Bob Morris has never been to a Girl Scout meeting but that he locks himself in the bathroom and thinks about those little vests and all those badges and campfires and …. okay, he’s finished.

Bob Morris is not a man given to just making things up.  He leaves that to other people.

Morris said he found online allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, encourage sex and allow transgender females to join. He also wrote that the fact that first lady Michelle Obama is honorary president should give lawmakers pause before they endorse the Girl Scouts.

Online allegations.  Well crap, that’s admissible in court so why wouldn’t he believe it?

Somebody tell me what the fool tarnation that means, the “tactical arm of Planned Parenthood.”  The Girl Scouts represent Planned Parenthood at NATO exercises?   And, of course, anything – including healthy eating – that Michelle Obama does is purely communistic and witchery.

And the Girl Scouts encourage sex?  Well, I hope the hell so.  Where else are we gonna get more Girl Scouts to do our tactical stuff?

Bob, Honey, you are forcing me to eat Girl Scout cookies.  Hey, it’s tough out here in the culture wars, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Thanks to Irene for the heads-up.

I have a hanger on-er.  You know, some slightly but not dangerously demented guy who stalks my website.  He’s local and doesn’t get enough attention in his life.  He thinks it’s cute to go to the library to post his conservative gibberish where he can remain anonymous (because I caught him once before by using his IP address).  He thinks it’s adorable to call me SuzieQ and talk about my personal life  while hiding under the bed like a little poodle puppy, or a member of the Klan, I forget which. It’s creepy as hell but not scary.

He’s never threatened my life, only my faith in mankind in general.

I directed his comments to go directly to the trash bin so I never see them except when I empty the trash and spam.  He calls himself TxNamVet, but I have absolutely no proof that he’s a vet and I honestly don’t thinks he is.

I am a grown up lady with big girl panties who is willing to accept responsibility for what I say.  Men and women have fought and died for my First Amendment rights so the least I can do is have a tad of courage, just a tad, to be proud of what I believe.

TxNamVet is not so proud of his beliefs.

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that the only reason I keep doing this website is to read the comments.  Seriously.

So, should I post his comments and let y’all eat his lunch or should I continue to not enable him to wear a hood over his head and sneak off to the library to post?

Your pick.

What’s about the worst danged thing that can happen to a woman?

Losing her hairdresser.  That’s what.

Oh Honey, you've been cutting those bangs yourself, haven't you?

On Tuesday, Governor Susana Martinez (R-N.M.) lost a hairstylist who refused to clip her locks out of disgust with her opposition to marriage equality.

Antonio Darden, who had cut Martinez’s hair on three occasions and runs Antonio’s Hair Studio in Santa Fe, N.M., re-crafted the notion of civil disobedience when he declined to accept an appointment.

You know, I always felt that Tom DeLay was dressed so poorly, with his Spanxs obviously showing and very crappy make-up, while he was on Dancing with the Stars because gays or friends of gays in show business were obviously getting even.

Do not hack off hairdressers, Girlfriends.  We will hurt you.

Thanks to Carl, Brian, and Sylvester for the heads up.  And kisses to Antonio!

I’m going to be at a fundraiser for Bernie Sanders tonight so y’all need to keep me updated when I sneak a peek at my iPhone. Discuss the debate amongst yourselves and try not to cuss.

Seriously, don’t cuss. Momma is watching.

And, of course we’re having a contest to guess Arizona and Michigan results so start pondering on your numbers.
