Lookie right here what you did:

(Click the little one to get the big one.)

Your friend and mine, Glen Maxey at the Texas Democratic Party, sent this to every county chair and SDEC member in Texas.

Glen’s special project of getting mail ballot applications in the hands of Texas Democrats over the age of 65 was an amazing success.  I know this because Glen hoards exclamation points.  When he gets real generous with them, you know the earth is shaking.

We went from 110,000 applications statewide in 2014 to $290,000 this year, and that’s not including Harris or Dallas Counties.

And if you’ll look real close, you will see yourself.

In 2016, with the help of a lot of County Chairs, SDEC members, officeholders and lots of small donors (especially Susan Bankston and her website), we will mail …

Indeed, indeed job well done.

Thanks again, Guys.  Texas Democrats love yew!

Okay, so that karma-kicked Martin Shkreli and he got arrested for stock fraud.

He has a co-defendant in the case, his lawyer Evan Greebel.

So, it’s Christmas and times are tough for everybody.  Except Evan Greebel.

Both Martin Shkreli and his co-defendant Evan Greebel were arrested by the FBI last week, but Greebel gets to fly to Cancun for a family vacation before he heads to court.

According to his motion, he booked plans for the 10-day trip this past spring. In addition to his wife, he’ll be traveling with his three young children, his mother-in-law and father-in-law and another close relative. He has already put up his home in Scarsdale as part of the $1 million bail on which he was released, and would lose the house if he flees while out of the country.

Okay, so the court lets him put up his house for his $1 million bond.  This is a guy with probably about $20 gazillion.  Yeah, he’s going to come back to collect his one million dollar house.

So, think about Evan Greebel soaking in the sun this Christmas while you freeze your tail off and try to pay outrageous drug prices.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Republican Presidential hopeful and United States Senator Marco Rubio either speaks a different language than I do or operates in an entirely alternate universe.  Could be either or both.

Rubio has been making stump speeches railing against the spending package as a “massive, grotesque piece of legislation.”  Goodness sake, you’d think we were killing kittens with the way he talks.

But, hell, it’s only talk, and Rubio is real good at talk.  Ask him to walk and he stumbles.

When CBS News asked him why he didn’t bother to go vote against the spending package …

Asked why he wouldn’t make his point about the spending package by physically being on Capitol Hill, Rubio said his message was clear.

“In essence, not voting for it, is a vote against it,” said Rubio.

Uh, wanna ‘splain that to me again?   That’s not how math works.  I’m pretty sure of that.

And what makes this eye-roll weird is that the day before, he was on Fox News  …

Rubio’s absence from the Senate on Friday was a bit surprising because he suggested on Fox News’ “Happening Now” a day earlier that he could try and slow down the spending package and interfere with the process leading up to the final vote.

“We can most certainly slow this process down and force them to go back and make changes to it. There’s no doubt that we can and we should and we will,” he said.

I dunno if he was drunk or lost but he didn’t show up.  And it was after he promised to show up and spit in the punch bowl.

I’m betting on lost.  Bless his heart, not only is her lost, he’s losing to a wild man.

As we head into Holy Season, I do believe that several Christians have sleigh bells up their butts.

Look here –

Two New Mexico lawmakers have pre-filed a bill that would give state business owners the right to refuse business to gay, lesbian and transgender people and their families on the basis of religious freedom. Republican Reps. David Gallegos and Nora Espinoza are the sponsors of the bill, HB55.

Okay, what religion says it’s holy to discriminate against someone?  Oh right, fundamentalism.

Lookie here at his part in case you missed it: “and their families.”  Thanks a bunch, Donald Trump.

Y’all, this is weird.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Georgia, Y’all.

According to Albany Police, there was an accidental shooting around 4 a.m. Sunday.

Thomas Strickland explained after officials arrived that he sleeps with a handgun in his bed for protection, and that he accidentally shot himself early Sunday morning when he thought someone was in his home.

Point the gun the other direction, Tom.

Also, next time you might try sleeping with a girl.  They’re just as dangerous as just as likely to embarrass you, but at least they’re warm.

Y’all, Lindsey Graham “suspended” his presidential quest to pursue his true love, a Youtube channel with advice for the lovelorn.

We will miss him from the children’s debate table, which will now consist of Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.  That means that in the future the second tier debates will consist of two guys hitting each other over the head with Bibles.  And bad ties.  Really bad ties.
