Juanita wants you to see something.

“Republicans are cheapo stingy free-loaders,” she says, “and now I have proof.”

According to Juanita, Bubba and Charles slaved away putting up large political signs all over the county.  They also personally raised the money to pay for the t-posts that hold the signs up.  T-post are not cheap.  And they are not easy to tote around in the pickup truck.  It’s work.

They put a string of Democratic signs together and then move on to the next location.  Like this —

See the four signs strung together?  They are all Democrats.  This is in a Democratic neighborhood.

See the guy on the end?  Jeff McMeans?  Republican.  He’s running for judge against the Harrison Gregg guy, who is a Democrat.

“McMeans sticks his sign on the end of our signs, so he only has to use one t-post.  He’s ‘borrowing’ our t-post to hold up his sign,” Juanita stomps.

“Now this wouldn’t hack me off if McMeans was some poor dude just trying to make ends meet.  But, he’s not.  McMean’s family has more money than Oprah.  His Dad is the retiring judge in the that court and they think a political dynasty is their birthright,” Juanita says.

“Soooooo, I fixed his sign.”

“Nah, I really didn’t,” she admits.  “I am, however, going over there this afternoon with my styling scissors and cut that sucker loose.  I promise I am.”

Juanita was over at the VFW dance this weekend and heard tell of a candidate in Dallas, Texas, who is doubling-down on scare-the-pants-off-you crazy.

His name is Stephen Broden and he’s running for the United States Congress.

Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.

“If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary,” Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain’s King George III.

Broden says that violent overthrow of the United States of America is not his “first option.”   I suspect that’s good to know.

“Now just to gild that lily, I need to tell you that Broden is a pastor,” Juanita reports.  “I have no idea if his church is filling the baptismal tank with  ammo and the choir is wearing camo, but I think someone with a peach pit size of sanity needs to go check.”

“Last year Broden claimed that  the economic crash in the housing, banking and automotive industries were  “contrived” and a “set up” by the Obama administration,” she says.

“It’s like I always say: talk is cheap, but whiskey costs money.  Apparently, the mission fund is being used at Jim Bob’s House of Guns and Cheap Liquor.”

Apparently it is.

“Ya know, it’s a damn good thing I have helpers elves because there’s about five gallons more crazy out there than I can keep up with,” Juanita says with exasperation.

Scott sent me this one from a debate in Illinois.

Al Reynolds, Stunning Man

The Republican candidate for state Senate in the 52nd District said Wednesday night that black men “find it more lucrative to be able to do drugs or other avenues rather than do education.”

Al Reynolds, 65, of Danville made the remarks at a candidate forum at the Champaign City Building. The forum was co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Champaign County NAACP.

Reynolds’ comments came in response to a question about increasing the number of black and Latino students at the University of Illinois.

And then in what may be the understatement of the year, the reporter writes that the audience seemed “stunned.”  Yep, ignorance is powerfully stunning.  It can stun you back sixty or eighty years.  And this dude is living proof.

Juanita’s foreign correspondent Carol sent this to remind us that at least we’re not Connecticut.

A recent sign seen in their Senate race.

We’re using this for a display at the Museum of Dandy Fun.

Harold Cook has a picture of a disgusting sign on display in East Texas.   Then some nincompoop comments that he doesn’t understand why we find the sign to be racist.  Duh.  No, really, duh.  I’m a woman of many words, but I can’t think of another one to say in this case.  Go take a look.
