Kris Kristofferson didn’t know it at the time but he was writing about Chris Christie.

Christie got into a fight with a guy at a baseball game.

Christie, who according to Rachel Meadow has approval numbers approaching shoe sizes, got booed at a ball game last week when he caught a foul ball.  You generally get a round of applause for that, which is why I always take my glove to baseball games.

A week later, he got booed again.

Oh yeah, solely for your pure entertainment, there are pictures.  This guy called Christie a hypocrite.  I think he should get a round of applause.

However, there are no beach chairs this time.  There are plenty of cheese Nachos, though.

What’s the saying?  The bigger they are … the louder the splat sound they make when they fall?

According to The Hill —

Hackers at at a conference in Las Vegas were able to successfully breach the software of U.S. voting machines in just 90 minutes on Friday, illuminating glaring security deficiencies in America’s election infrastructure.

People who sell electronic voting machines tell us that it is impossible to hack an election in the United States because each state has their own voting system and each county within those states has difference voting machines and it would be almost impossible to break into all of them.

But, you don’t have to break into all of them.  You would only need to hack fewer than 100 or so key precinct in targeted counties in 3 or 4 states to swing the electoral college in a completely new direction.

In my county, a recount means just looking at the voting totals in each precinct and adding them again.  That means there is no such thing as a recount.  The exception is mail ballots, which can be handed counted.

I want to go back to pencils, paper, and locked metal boxes.  They can be “hacked”, but it would take longer to make secret copies of the ballots and slip them into the box while both a Democrat and a Republican are present.

Ninety minutes.

Damn.

Thanks to Craig for the heads up.

Oh, y’all.  Rick Perry is the only person in America who supports Trump’s Tweetpolicy.

He doesn’t just support it.  He totally supports.  Totes.  Totally totes.

“The idea that the American people need to be paying for these types of operations to change your sex is not very wise from a standpoint of economics,” he continued. “I think the president makes some good decisions about making sure that we have a force that is capable.”

Col. Moris Davis responds.

Okay, just so you know.  Medical care for transgender soldiers would cost about 1% as much as the military spends on bands. Yeah, bands. Music. It is estimated that medical support for transgender service members would cost anywhere between $2 – $4 million.  Trump’s travel to Mar-a-Loco cost $20 million for his first 80 days in office.  The military spent $41 million on Viagra alone.

So, the reason Perry supports it cannot be economics nor will it ever be.  Perry is once again trying to certify his heterosexual credentials.  He’s just reminding you that he is not gay. Not gay. Not one little bit gay. Nada gayo.

And that Trump can grab him any place, any time, any where.

Thanks to Tony for the heads up.

Okay, so here’s the backstory.  Upon hearing that Kid Rock was going to run for senate, some dude tweeted …

So, Sheryl tweets back in the most informational way possible …

And then sat down and immediately wrote a song.

She rocks.  She does.

Thanks to Sam for the heads up.

Because it’s Friday and nobody has cussed or tried to hurt a minority, Trump made news the traditional way – by firing his chief of staff.

John F Kelly is in.  It was announced on Twitter.

I’m wondering if there’s ever been a military General as a chief of staf before?

So worth watching.  This is the best 4 and 1/2 minutes you’ll spend all weekend.

And Mika, God love her, reads it so damn well.
