The Texas Lege passed a resolution today “commending President Barack Obama, intelligence personnel and members of the military for taking out Osama bin Laden.”

Ten House Republicans voted totally against it.  Fifty two of them just couldn’t resist the urge to blast President Obama.

But 10 of the 101 Republican members of the House are recorded in the House Journal as voting against the resolution. And 52 who supported the resolution entered a joint Journal statement saying they do not support Obama’s overall foreign policy.

Out of the entire and total Republican delegation of the Texas House, only one of them stood like an American today —

“George Bush was our Commander-in-Chief when the terrible 9/11 happened,” said Rep. Jim Keffer, R-Eastland. “And Democrats and Republicans stood shoulder to shoulder at that terrible day. And now that we have this victory, let’s say, that Osama bin Laden has been found and eliminated, that as Commander-in-Chief, Republican and Democrat should stand shoulder to shoulder in the celebration and the remembrance on today.”

Thank you, Jim Keffer for being the only damn Republican in the entire 101 supermajority of the Texas House who isn’t foaming at the mouth.

“So what this means,” Juanita commented, “is that one out of 100 Republicans is not whacked out.  At least that’s an improvement from last year.”

The ten who would rather disgrace the United States military than say anything positive about The Commander in Chief  is a familiar list.

The 10 members who voted against the resolution were Leo Berman of Tyler, Marva Beck of Centerville, Allen Fletcher of Tomball, Dan Flynn of Van, Will Hartnett of Dallas, Dan Huberty of Houston, George Lavender of Texarkana, Barbara Nash of Arlington, Debbie Riddle of Tomball and Randy Weber of Pearland.

“The upside is that we now have a neat little list of the insane people serving in the Texas House of Representatives,” Juanita looks on the bright side.

Thanks to about 10 people who sent me this.

Scott Walker, the quarterback of Wisconsin Republicans, was sacked in the end zone and the piling on has begun!

In a race that centered on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) attack on the rights of public employees to bargain for middle-class jobs, Democratic state Assembly candidate Steve Doyle easily won a seat that had been held by Republicans for 16 years.

In a special election to replace the previous assembly member whom Walker tapped for a top job in his administration, Doyle won 54 percent to 46 percent over Walker-backed candidate John Lautz.

“I’m gonna tell you something, Babydoll, Scott Walker has done more for Democrats than I ever could have done,” Juanita admits with gratitude.

“Except maybe for this dude:  if you’ve got nine minutes of your life that you don’t need, check this “Angry White Man” out.  There appears to be no limit to insanity,” she grins.  “He’s going to open mandatory re-education centers for African Americans, and toss out every Muslim.  I imagine his speech is even stronger in the original German.”

“I’m proud to say that Grady Warren hisveryownself sent me the link to his YouTube.”

Y’all can scamper over to the Texas Tribune and see Rick Perry whine that the federal government isn’t sending money to him over the Texas wildfires.

“There is no consistency with this administration,”  he says.

Ain’t that just priceless?

“Wash off your warpaint, Son, and holster your pistol. You’re running out of room on the dance floor to be talking consistency,” Juanita warns.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo from the owner, staff, customers, and occasional visitors at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.  Viva la libertad y equalidad!

For people from foreign states.  It celebrates the 1862 Battle of Puebla.  Do yourself a favor and try to learn a little something about Benito Juarez, an amazing man who was President of Mexico during the battle.  He is the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico.

Every time I see a story about hate and meanness, I secretly say a prayer, “Dear Lord, please don’t let it have happened in Texas.  All of friends think I’m insane for staying here half the time.  Please let it have happened in Aladamnbama or somewhere.”

Only rarely does the Lord answer my prayers.  This is not one of those times.

A Texas schoolteacher needs to be taken out back, stripped nakkid and dropped into the next Texas high school football game at halftime with “Football Sucks” tattooed on his behind.  I think that would end this type of behavior.

A Friendswood mom says she was offended by what her daughter says happened Monday in ninth grade algebra.

She said, “The teacher told the student that ‘I bet you’re grieving.’ And she basically looked at him and said what are you talking about? And he said I heard about your uncle’s death and she said wow, because she understood that he was referring about Osama bin Laden being killed and was racially profiling her.”

The remark was made to a classmate, an American-born girl of Muslim faith. It happened at Clear Brook High School in the Clear Creek Independent School District. The mom wanted to speak out about the incident but wanted us to protect her identity, saying she doesn’t want any retaliation against her daughter or the girl who experienced the inappropriate comment.

As shocked and horrified as I am about what the teacher did, I am equally as proud of the non-Muslim parent and her child who came forward to complain.  That took courage.

The mom says that the girl remains in class and she is grateful that her classmates stuck up for her.

So, there’s hope for the next generation.

Even in Texas.
