I was going to link to Bev’s column this week because she found some interest information about Cynthia Lenton Gary that I thought both my readers would enjoy.

But, I got stopped dead in my tracks because I would have to give ammo to Luther and REdmunds about the typos and/or misspellings in Bev’s newspaper.  (See comments here.) I think it’s fair to say that I worked for her for a decade or two and taught her everything she knows about misspelling.

Bev wrote —

Why I’m mad at Obama….Let me see. First I think I’ll go through all the reasons I’m NOT mad at Obama. I don’t believe he is a Muslin. I do believe he is a citizen of the U.S.

Yeah, she said he’s not a Muslin.

In all fairness, I think that’s probably the one thing nobody has accused him of being.

So, I have decided that what Bev meant is that Obama is not a “man of the cloth.”

Keep the groaning down, please.

Go on over and skip to near the bottom to discover that Cynthia Lenton Gary did not file her campaign finance reports as required by law.  I think she was busy illegally leaving notes to her friends in the mailbox.  That’s a whole lot of work.

Woo, woo!  Rick Perry is a semi-finalist!

The Fringe 16 is narrowing the list and Rick Perry is carrying the national Fringe Flag right to the Texas State Capitol Building.  (I would say the Governor’s Mansion, but Rick is living in a $10,000 a month taxpayer rented Gov Shack.)

Head on over there and vote for him again now that voting for the finalist has started.  He’s up against Jan Brewer.  It’s hard to make that woman look sane, but Rick is giving it his damnest.

Let’s give him the boost he needs to win.  We won’t even have to worry with a tiara and a sash – Rick’s already got the fringe pants to wear to the Fringe Awards ceremony.

This was hand printed on a sign hung to the front door of the beauty salon this morning —

New Rule:  You cannot go on Dancing with the Stars and make a fool of yourself and then turn around and whine like a little ninny baby that people think you’re a fool.

It was not Juanita’s handwriting but she agreed that statement needs to be written down somewhere.  The Austin American Statesman came real close themselves.

The poll the defense commissioned asked 400 registered voters their opinions about DeLay and the case.

DeLay’s name recognition in Travis County is almost as high as President Barack Obama’s and former President George W. Bush’s, and his negatives — at 59 percent — are almost as high, the poll found.

Some witnesses, however, suggested that DeLay’s appearance on the ABC TV show “Dancing With the Stars,” might account for such high name recognition.

“I do not see Tom returning the reported $200,000 he made on Dancing with the Stars.  He wanted the money without the bad reviews.  Hollywood Hot Tub Tom wants to have his cake and eat it, too, as his spreading rear end will attest.”

“Ole Tom tried to argue that people didn’t think well of him in Travis County because he redrew the district of popular Congressman Lloyd Doggett, causing Doggett’s district to look like a fajita.  Well, that and the certified fact that Tom may not be the devil, but he’s blood relative,” Juanita explains.  “That devil part might be more of factor in their opinions.”

“Tom’s all mouthing off that he’s going after Ronnie Earle, the District Attorney with the courage to indict him, when this trial is over.  Yeah, and I’d be the Queen of Ohio.  If I lived in Ohio.  And could get elected queen.”

“Tom DeLay,” she grins, “is the only man I know who can strut sitting down, so this show will be worth the price of admission.”

Tom DeLay WILL be tried in Travis County.  The trial will start October 26.  Thelma’s getting hotel reservations.  Who wants to meet me there?

“You know, guys,” Juanita told the customers at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc., this morning, “what with Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich back in the news, it feels like old times, doesn’t it?”

“And I think it’s especially nice of them to try to grab some headlines right here before the 2010 elections,” Verdelia responded.  “The Democrats could use a little ‘hey, it could be worse’ reminding.”

“All we need now is for a paragraph or two of George Bush’s book to leak before it’s published,” Carmen, the Texas Chainsaw Manicurist joins it.

Juanita jumped on that one, “Hon, the book is just gonna have one paragraph.  The rest will be pictures he’s drawn of Dick Cheney wearing a dress.  And that’s fact dead solid perfect guaranteed fact.”
