Juanita closed down the beauty salon today to go volunteer at the Democratic headquarters in Fort Bend County today.  We’re doing a humongous phone bank today and Juanita never misses a phone bank party!

Things were going really well until her neighbor city, Houston, damn well near exploded with hate.

A group trying to register voters in Houston received threats and emails containing racist slurs after being targeted by a local tea party group accusing it of “voter fraud.”

“Now, I’d love to tell you what was in those emails but Momma comes to this website, and Momma would chase me with a bar soap and a switch for even repeating the things those emails said,” Juanita explains.  “So, you’re just going to have to follow the link and see for yourself.”

“Look, I know a lot of this Tea Party crapola is pure racism,” she says.  “But, please don’t forget what they did to Bill Clinton.  Hell, they accused him of killing people!  They are just a hateful bunch of crazy people.”

And speaking of crazy people, please don’t miss Andy Borowitz’s take on Clarence Thomas’s Tea Party wife calling Anita Hill.  It is brilliant.

And double crazy is the fact that Texas will now be selling Tea Party license plates.  At least we’ll know not to park near them at the Luby’s cafeteria because those suckers have bean dip for brains.

And in the triple Z crazzzy department, we have Glenn Beck who announced —

On his radio show today, Beck wondered how many people in the country believe in evolution, and said he doesn’t: “I don’t think we came from monkeys. I think that’s ridiculous. I haven’t seen a half-monkey, half-person yet.”

Glen, you haven’t seen the half-monkey half-person in your mirror?

And, just for fun, Glenn is hawking survivalist food to go along with this gold.  “Honey, survival food, gold and lotsa ammo and you’re set just in case Sarah Palin does become President,” Juanita announces.  “Honey, if it lasts longer than a jar of peanut butter, a half gallon of Blue Bell, and a case of hair spray I do not want to stick around.  Especially if Glenn Beck is.”
