Rick Santorum called President Obama’s religion, “Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology.”  President Obama is a Christian.

Hummmm… Brother Santorum, perhaps there’s some passages missing from your Bible.  Let me see if I can help you with a few.

The first I’d like to point out comes from Proverbs and it was a commandment to leaders.  Check Proverbs 31:8 and 9.

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,for the rights of all who are destitute.

Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

How about Deuteronomy 15:11, Rick?

For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

I can also give you words from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but let’s just pick one for now.  Luke 3:11

And [John the Baptist] would answer and say to them, “Let the man with two tunics share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise.”

And there’s also Romans 21:12, speaking about judging others.

Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

But, I think the most important one you need to read, Brother Santorum is Proverbs 9:11 –

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

Brother Santorum, say what you will about President Obama’s politics and you will only have the people of America to answer to.  But when you start messing with his religious beliefs, you have done hacked-off the wrong God.

I just want to say a big giant thank you to a genuine American hero, Senator John Glenn, on the 50th anniversary of his space flight and for doing his part for making America better.

Senator Glenn has led an amazing life and continues to give back to his country.  Did y’all know that he was with Robert Kennedy on the night he was killed?  I didn’t know that until recently.

Thomas Wolfe was right:  John Glenn has the right stuff.

Oh thank you, Lord.

Nancy Pelosi could be venturing into less-than-friendly territory this afternoon, when she visits Texas A&M University for a Presidents Day speech at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

…

A group called Texas Aggie Conservatives has announced plans for a protest outside, beginning at 4:30 p.m. It will include someone in a grim reaper costume — emblematic, the student group says, of Pelosi’s role as a “job killer.”

Yes, I will be there.  You know I will.

One of the protesters, Cary Chesire, was quoted in a news release as saying: “Her economic agenda is largely responsible for the continued high youth unemployment rate. Obamacare, out-of-control deficit spending, increased federal regulations, and heavy taxes are destroying the jobs that students like me will need when we graduate.”

You know what I think?  Just like priests, cardinals, and bishops need to shut the hell up about sex until they clean their own house, Texas Aggies need to shuddup about politics until Rick Perry resigns.  And conservatives standing at the Daddy Bush Liberry really, really need to shuddup about raising taxes.  And if Daddy’s boy shows up, deficit spending if off the table.

That leaves Obamacare.  I wonder if they know that Obamacare allows their parents to keep them on their insurance policies while they’re in college?

Well, now you know why everybody makes fun of Aggies.

Front page in Sunday’s Dallas Morning News:  Click the little one to get the big one.  —

The Dallas Morning News is so self-important that they make you pay to see their entire stories, but I can help you with the jest of it.

After almost six months away from the state to campaign for president, Rick Perry has barely returned to his Capitol office since arriving back in Austin, state records show.

In the first 16 days since he dropped from the race, covering Jan. 19 through Feb. 3, Perry went to his office only three times and stayed no more than three hours each time, according to his state calendar obtained by The Dallas Morning News under the state’s public information law.

The bad news:  Rick Perry is not showing up for work.

The good news:  Rick Perry is not showing up for work.

And when he does show up, it ain’t for, you know, actual work.

The schedules may also indicate that Perry remains vulnerable to criticism that has dogged both his gubernatorial tenure and his presidential campaign: that he doesn’t dive deeply into policy and is more focused on politics. Perry’s political schedules are kept separately, but interviews show that he spent time upon his return to Texas calling financial and political backers to thank them for their support.

Honey, if the devil is ever dieing, we’re gonna use Rick Perry to go fetch the doctor.  We have to lay out markers to see if he’s moving at all.

If you do decide to purchase this article, I do need to warn you that they quote Harold Cook.

“It doesn’t matter what time period you look at, this governor always has something better to do than run the state,” said Harold Cook, a consultant who works closely with Democratic state senators.

And he says that like it’s a bad thing.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

So, I have a question.  Do they keep a fool’s list in Wisconsin?

The training director for the Wisconsin Department of Justice is recovering from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the hand.

DOJ spokeswoman Dana Brueck says Tony Barthuly was cleaning his personal handgun Wednesday night at his Fond du Lac home when it went off.

Now, I don’t mean to make matters worse for Pistol Pete here, but his exact title is, “the director of DOJ’s Training and Standards Bureau.”

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Governor has copyrighted the foot shooting thing, so Barthuly was fairly limited on what body part he could shoot.

Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.
