Gramiam and I have a little $10 side bet going that President Barack Obama is gonna make John Boehner cry.

I guess making Boehner wave a white flag and look like a petulant child is almost as good.

They don’t care about deficit reduction.  All they care about is keeping the tea party from killing them and then eating them.

I hear they taste just like chicken.

So far, three people have send me an invitation that they got from Sheriff’s candidate Craig Brady to be a “sponsor” at his upcoming “Team Roping Event & Dance” fundraiser.  You’ll remember Brady as the guy who is plenty proud of them there boots.

One of them, the funny one, commented, “Boy howdy, this is certain to empty out the entire trailer park!”

Here’s the invite.

And for $5,000, they’ll throw in a DWI lawyer or let you skip the whole social thing and spend the night in jail on your own liquor.

Bottles of liquor?  Are they generic or maybe somebody couldn’t spell Old Crow?

If I was you, I’d stay off the road that night because there’s gonna be some bottles of liquor consumed.  IF we could get DPS to set up a mile down the road, we’d make enough money in fines for Texas to hire back all those teachers.

Texas Governor Rick Perry has an odd bunch of friends.  There’s the guy who thinks Oprah is the anti-Christ, and then there’s this dude.

The website for Perry’s “The Response” lists Dr. John Benefiel of the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network prominently on its website as one of the event’s endorsers, but Benefiel’s vision of America is one that excludes Lady Liberty and her evil, secular, French Freemason agenda.

Rick, please don’t show this guy Lady Liberty – she has a boob showing and come to think of it, so do you.

Thanks to Carol, Wynn, and Harry for the heads up.

Ron Paul will not seek re-election to Congress.

Let the games begin!  I see Tea Party Republicans all over South Texas going house hunting in Lake Jackson.

There’s a rule in Texas – don’t point a gun at anyone unless you are going to pull the trigger.  And you better pull it quickly.

Cute Lori Klein

Arizona, a state with more rules than Chinese Monopoly, apparently doesn’t have that one.

Arizona state Sen. Lori Klein (R), a gun-rights champion, keeps a loaded raspberry-pink handgun in her purse, and during an interview with Arizona Republic reporter Richard Ruelas, she took it out and pointed it at him.

“Oh, it’s so cute,” Klein said, before aiming the gun at Ruelas’s chest to show off the red beam of the laser sight. Klein’s gun, a .380 Ruger, has no safety, but the senator assured Ruelas that he wasn’t in danger.

I’m from Texas so I know a thing or two about guns.

The Number Uno thing I know about guns is that they should not be cute.  Imagine the courtroom testimony:  “Yes, Your Honor, I shot his worthless beehind with my little lavender jeweled Ruger because I was wearing my Armani violet blouse that day.  I generally carry my pink sequined Ruger when I wear my Jimmy Choo peep toed slingback do me like a dog pumps.  And my red glitter Ruger is just perfect with my Prada handbag.  So, yes, I guess you could say that I put some thought into shooting him.”

Number Dos thing I know about guns is that if you point a loaded gun at someone and don’t pull the trigger, they are still gonna be real testy about it.  For example, if Ms. Klein had done that to me, she would be taking her Ruger home that night, but it wouldn’t be in her purse.

Number Three-o thing I know about guns is that pointing one at a reporter is classified as Olympic size  dumb because they buy their ink by the barrel and their paper by the ton.  People as far away as Texas will be making fun of you.

By the way, Lori Klein is the same State Senator who made a racist speech on the floor of the Arizona House. Republicans must be so proud of her.
