And, it’s the Daily Double!

Rick Santorum on President Obama and the 99%ers:

“… That’s not what a leader of this country should do but Barack Obama has sided with the 99 versus one.”

“He supported this movement, this movement that is intolerant and disrespectful. He supported them and embraced them,” Santorum said to loud cheers from his supporters. “Why? Because it’s consistent with exactly what Barack Obama’s trying to do with this country.”

Okay, now I do not know this for a fact, but I am willing to bet my best pink boa that there was not even one 1%er in that audience.  In fact, I suspect that most of them would have to save-up to buy a clue.

So why are they standing there cheering for Paris Hilton?

Alex, I’ll take Hell If I Know for $2,000.

Thanks to Elsie for the heads-up.

No siree, Mr. Santorum, you can have our pills when you pull them out of our cold, dead hands.

Hey, did I ever tell y’all about the time I accidentally went to Loretta Lynn’s house?  I met Cissy Lynn and her husband?  And we got into this big discussion about What-a-Burger?  Remind me to tell y’all that story sometime.

Thanks to OldMayfly for that timely heads-up.

The good-ole boys and girls at the Republican National Committee have solved your problem of forgetting to send your sweetie a Valentine.  You can sign up to have one of their Valentines emailed to your honey.

It’s the perfect Republican solution:  cheap and cold hearted.

Here’s an example of what they think would warm your honey’s heart —

I think that’s supposed to be funny, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Thanks to OldMayfly for the heads-up.

Rick Perry says he’s thinking about running for President again – in 2014.  Okay, I just made up that 2014 part but you almost believed it, didn’t you, because Rick Perry is that dumb.

But I did not make up the part where he thinks that if he could learn to debate, he could govern.  The problem is – you can’t fix stoopid.

“I tell people it was by far the most exhilarating thing that I’ve ever done,” said Perry in an interview conducted during last week’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

Honey, walking and chewing gum at the same time is exhilarating for you.

You know how Judge Beiry made Texas look good?  Well, this is the yang.

Thanks to Julie for the heads up.

When Newt Gingrich talks about out-of-control federal judges, he often calls the name of Texas Federal Judge Fred Biery.

Judge Biery held that the Constitution does not permit a public school district to sponsor a student-led prayer at graduation, and for that, Gingrich has spurred the Steeple People to rained down hellfire and brimstone wrath on the good Judge.

The Super DeLux Brand Christians believe Judge Biery to be the devil incarnate.  Fortunately, the parties to the lawsuit settled through mediation.

Judge Biery had the last word. He issued a “personal statement” along with the settlement. (The writ twits among us might want to read the entire thing.)

Judge Biery wrote —

To the United States Marshal Service and local police who have provided heightened security: Thank you.

To those Christians who have venomously and vomitously cursed the Court family and threatened bodily harm and assassination: In His name, I forgive you.

To those who have prayed for my death: Your prayers will someday be answered, as inevitably trumps probability.

To those in the executive and legislative branches of government who have demagogued this case for their own political goals: You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Hummm … there’s only one member of the Executive Branch who demagogued this religious stuff, but he’s safely back home in Austin under Anita’s watchful eye.

And finally, the reason I flat out totally dead solid perfect love Judge Fred Biery:

Any American can pray, silently or verbally, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day, in private as Jesus taught or in large public events as Mohammed instructed.

Dude, that’s a pile of good stuff.
