And This Is Why Louie Gohmert is Not Licensed to Practice Law in the State of Texas

Transcript for folks at work:

GOHMERT: If the Supreme Court is really weighing from a personal standpoint, ‘gee do we strike it down or not?’ There is good news for them. In the Obamacare bill, any president they don’t like will have access to any Justice’s health care records and as I understand—I haven’t read the agreement between the administration and GE—GE will have access to their health care records. So a good not for the Supreme Court, all of their medical records will be available to the people they don’t like in the federal government. Good news for them if they don’t strike it down.

Of course, that is true on the strange little planet where Louie lives.  Personally, I think that Louie’s medical records will reveal what we all suspect anyway – brain atrophy.

Thanks to Brian, brand new Vice Chair of Tillamook County Democrats, for the heads-up.  (Am I connected, or am I connected?)

Michelle Malkin (shiver) Defends Rick Perry’s Rocks

October 05, 2011 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

It is nice to see that an uber spokesperson for the far right, that does not give a cow chip about the average man, woman or child, still has the ability to empathize with someone who does not give a cow chip about the average man, woman or child.

Stephen W., customer

Michelle Malkin (shiver) accuses the Washington Post of “Macaca Journalism” for calling out Rick Perry for having inappropriate words written on a rock on his hunting lease.   Apparently, according to Malkin (shiver), Virginia GOP Gov. George Allen didn’t mean nothing when he called a young man of Indian descent a racial slur and neither did Rick Perry.

Now, in case you’re wondering why a writer like Malkin (shiver) thinks words do not matter, you need to quit wondering stuff.  That crap will get you into trouble every time.

Malkin (shiver) says that Perry is not a racist and she would know that because he appointed a black man to the Supreme Court and has – oh, no, here it comes – he has some black friends.  Well, that certainly makes up for anything carved in stone on your hunting lease.

Nobody is saying that Rick Perry is a racist.  What we are saying is that he’s certainly comfortable around those who are.

Thanks to Stephen for the heads-up.

It’s Not Just a PAC. It’s a SUPER PAC!

October 05, 2011 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Even as Rick Perry’s poll numbers drop lower than a snake’s navel in a wagon rut, it appears there’s still some backroom cahooting going on in the Texas Republican money pit.  Perry is in single digits in Florida.   Hell, Fidel Castro is polling higher than Perry in Florida.

But, the good news is that  at least one very suspicious Super PAC seems to be boiling up in Texas.

Lookie here.  (PDF)  It’s a new Super PAC called Campaign for Primary Accountability, Inc.

First off, who comes up with these PAC names?  I know this is not the point I’m trying to make, but you just gotta wonder where they get these high-falutin’ sounding names for PACs.  You never saw a Super PAC named We Need Money for Newt or Gimme Some Cash, which is what they really should be named.  My theory is that they have one of those magnetic word games that you put on your refrigerator door and make up sentences.  I’ll ponder on this some more later.

The Campaign for Primary Accountability, Inc. says they are going to raise unlimited amounts of money.  Now, they say they will not use this money to directly help any candidate, but how ignorant do they think we are?  Of course they will.

The PAC is located in Houston, and the treasurer of the PAC is a guy named  Jonathan Martin, whose email address comes back to this place, which appears to be a company that provides back office operations in Michigan and South Carolina.  The company is located in Kalamazoo and appears to have no clients.  And their Facebook page has needed watering since June of 2010.

But, there’s more.

Enter Corrie Whalen, an adorable 24 year old living in Houston.  On her blog, Corrie says she was hired as the Political Director for the Alliance for Self-Governance (ASG), which is also based in Houston.

And what is the connection between the Campaign for Primary Accountability and the Alliance for Self-Governance?

While interstate compacts are part of the agenda ASG is looking to support, our big project moving into 2012 is The Campaign for Primary Accountability. As many of my fellow activists have learned and more need to be made aware of, the most effective way to force positive change in government is to challenge incumbents in primaries.

So, they are going to primary Republicans candidates who are not conservative enough. Now, Corrie says they are also going to primary some Democrats, too.  She admits to being very conservative but says there are also Democrats on the team who will primary Democrats.

Damn, paint me a damn picture, Girl, because I was born yesterday.

You are going to primary moderate conservative Republicans  with Tea Party folks and you are going to primary liberal Democrats to (1) make them spend money, and (2) try to run them out of office so your conservative candidates can run against a non-incumbent.

Don’t try to tell me that this is bipartisan.  This is the Tea Party’s attempt to shift the entire political spectrum far right.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads-up. He owes me an order of French Fries.

Fooled Me

If someone were to ask me what website would link to me and send me loads of new customers, the last place on the entire internet I would have guessed is Dr. Mark Liberman’s Language Log at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is a Trustee Professor of Phonetics in the Department of Linguistics and Director of the Linguistic Data Consortium.

Yep, that would have been the last place I would have guessed, right behind RussianPoetryOf TheEighteenthCentury.com

And a thank you to Dr. Liberman for not saying, “Where did this woman learn English?”  That was very kind of him.

Who You Callin’ Hitler, Cowboy?

Don’t ask me Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I’m down in a Honky-Tonk
Some ol’ slicks tryin to give me corrections
I’ll say leave me alone
I’m singin all night long
it’s a family tradition

He does know that Hitler was white, wore boots, and line danced, right?

Hey, if you think President Obama was insulted, just think how Hitler would feel being compared to a black guy.

World Record Buck shot in West Texas

My faith in internet stories has been restored. Finally, some honesty in big buck hunting stories. It took Fox News to deliver the story…

Here’s a picture of the new world record whitetail buck.

It was taken by the cousin of a co-worker’s sister’s, uncle’s, best friend’s, son-in-law’s, niece’s hairdresser’s, neighbor’s ex-boyfriend’s oldest nephew. Reportedly it will score 2603-1/8 by B&C standard and was shot in West Texas on a really windy day, 85 degrees downhill, around a curve at 900 yards with a .22 cal. rifle.

Supposedly, this deer had killed a Brahma bull, two Land Rovers, and six Jehovah’s Witnesses in the last two weeks alone. They said it was winning a fight with Bigfoot when it was shot.. It has also been confirmed that the buck had been seen drinking discharge water from a nuclear power plant.

All this has been checked and confirmed on Snopes.

Fox News


I did not write this.  My Texas ExPat friend Kary (now living in Baltimore) sent it to me.  With West Texas and deer leases being in the news lately, we thought you’d enjoy it.  Kary says the Perry campaign is working to Photoshop Rick Perry’s head over Joe Bob’s in the photo.  No, I do not know if that guy’s real name is Joe Bob.  But, it just has to be.
