Update:  I got punked.  This is from Midland, Michigan, not Midland, Texas.  Damn.  I should have known. Sorry, Guys.

Y’all, the newspaper in Midland Damn Texas, endorsed Hillary Clinton.

It wasn’t easy for them being as how they are located in the deep heart of Ted Cruz, but they grew a pair and endorsed Hillary.  It wasn’t an enthusiastic endorsement …

In choosing Clinton, we recognize the historic nature of her candidacy — an opportunity to break a centuries-old barrier and become the first woman to be president since the founding of our nation. But we also recognize that in terms of governmental philosophy, there is not much that we agree on. So our support for Clinton comes with a caveat: we do so holding fast to Paul Ryan’s goal of ensuring Clinton doesn’t receive a “blank check” once in office because Republicans maintain control of both Houses of Congress.

… but it was an endorsement nonetheless.  We’ll take it.

Midland Damn Texas, y’all.

How long until Trump hits Twitter?

When you are Chris Christie it is hard to disappear but he’s trying.

The election cannot come soon enough for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).

The adviser and surrogate for Donald Trump is already trying to distance himself from the Republican nominee’s flagging bid for the presidency.

Christie did not want to answer the question about whether or not he’s “proud” of the Trump campaign.

The New Jersey governor went on to suggest that he and other campaign surrogates should not be held responsible for the campaign’s performance.

“I’m proud of everything I’ve said, and that’s all I can control. The rest of it I can’t control,” he concluded.

I’m pretty certain that Donald Trump will find a conspiracy in this, but let me assure Mr. Trump that Christie’s only motivation is that Donald Trump is a loser.

The Culinary Union has decided to build a damn wall of their own.

So, in Las Vegas at Trump’s hotel, they are going to build a wall of Taco Trucks.  Y’all, that’s my dream.

A wall is going up outside the Trump International Las Vegas hotel Wednesday morning. The Culinary Union, long a Donald Trump antagonist in Las Vegas, is going to “build” a wall of taco trucks outside Trump’s hotel, just a couple miles from UNLV, site of the final presidential debate.

If any of y’all are going, please send pictures.

I am away from my laptop but Melanie is going on teevee soon.  Please feel free to explain to me or any other interested party how a 59 year old man engages in “boy talk,” or blames everybody else for everything tacky he’s ever done.

I thought I’d give you a chance to start commenting before the interview even starts.

Did you see the sign that said Paul Ryan is a “trader?”

That’s the teevee where I am.  What a sweet gift.

John McCain didn’t used to be so damn mean and outrageous.

But now I see why he’s neck and neck in his Arizona senate race.  Get this, he went on talk radio and announced…

“I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up,” McCain told Giordano. He added that “this is why we need the majority.

He was serious.  We are looking at eight years without a Supreme Court.  In four years the Republican Party will still look like a bushel basket of wire coat hangers so they’re not going to be in the electing business.

I just gave his worthy opponent Ann Kirkpatrick $5.  It felt good.
