Joe Lieberman to support republicans in
2010. A WW2 slang term “old joe” was a
reference to syphilis. Old Joe, as in
Lieberman today, demeans the implication
of the word.
What a rascal.

Hi Susan,
Since
today is Halloween, I decided to
cast a spell on Joe Lieberman.
Nothing drastic....just to make his
butt itch for a week. That seems
fitting to me since he is such a
pain in the butt to everyone else!
(Will I go to hell for this??)
Sharon B
Redding, CA
I've never seen the "Old Joe" as a
reference to syphilis. I have seen
it as a reference to Joseph Kennedy;
the head of the Kennedy clan. And
as a reference to Joseph Stalin.
Both "rascals".

October 29 - Pat
Robertson says the devil got in your Halloween candy.
I cannot make this stuff up.
They
took down the page, but not before I got a
screenshot.
One of Robertson's writers, Kimberly Daniels, said ---
“[M]ost of
the candy sold during this season has been dedicated
and prayed over by witches,” Daniels wrote. “I do
not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses
are sent through the tricks and treats of the
innocent whether they get it by going door to door
or by purchasing it from the local grocery store.
The demons cannot tell the difference.”
I guess it takes one to know one.
I have eaten Halloween candy all my life and I have yet
to spew obscenities under any power except my own.
You know what I think? I think Kimberly Daniels
just wants all the damn Halloween candy for herself.
That's what I think.
Meanwhile, back at the crazy farm ----
Robertson,
founder of the Christian Coalition and an
influential player in American politics, has long
opposed Halloween. As far back as 1982, he attacked
the holiday as a “Satanic ritual” and said on the
air, “I think we ought to close Halloween down.”
I checked with Halloween and the feeling is mutual.
Dear Susan,
Thanks be to all that's holy for our
local Mennonite-run grocery store that sells
candy corn that is bulk-packaged in their
own store by good Amish and Mennonite young
women. How do I know it's the women?
Because the men don't do actual work there.
That certainly counteracts the effects of
witches' prayers. And it just isn't the
World Series without peanuts and candy corn
and beer.
Don A. in Pennsyltucky
Ok, I'm
having a hard time these days. I can't tell
the real crazies from the fake satire
crazies like on the Onion. The CBN article
is real or satire? I think Swift would quit
writing in the face of this. How do you 'reducto
ad absurdum' the other side's argument when
they beat you to it.
Kevin
Man,
Susan, I don't know where you find this
stuff, but I'm sure glad you do! Maybe this
is why Halloween candy lands on my butt
faster than regular candy! I have devil
pounds. Oh wait, I kind of like that!
Cheryl
OK, as you
can tell I have a lot of time on my hands.
But never, ever in my darkest hours (I
suffer from back pain constantly) have I
been this crazy.
Can you image telling your own kids that
there are demons in candy? Is this not child
abuse?
Which other foods do I need to be afraid of?
You know what about cider? That's only
brewed during the witching season, right?
Oh, my God, apples!!!!!!!!
The demon serpent got Eve with an apple. How
many of us have the demons got by now?
Damn!!!
Have a nice weekend!
Diane
Pat Robertson's flunkies shouldn't
put BS online and then think they can
make it disappear.
The
Google is watching us, including the
snake handlers, better than Santa
Claus ever could.
(Sorry about the Santa Claus reference -
isn't he also pagan, satanic, or
something really bad.)
You left out some of the more fun parts
of the Halloween celebration, according
to the piece:
The
danger of
Halloween is not in the scary
things we see but in the secret, wicked,
cruel
activities that go on behind the scenes.
These activities include:
Sex with
demons
Orgies between
animals and humans
Animal and
human sacrifices
Sacrificing
babies to shed innocent blood
Rape and
molestation of adults, children and
babies
Revel nights
Conjuring of
demons and casting of spells
Release of
"time-released" curses against the
innocent and the ignorant.
I give up! How can you parody these
people? It's become nigh impossible to
distinguish
between real wingnut nonsense and
something from The Onion.
PS-I think the victims in the last
bullet are primarily Pat Robertson
viewers...

October 29 -
Uncle Hank used to say that politicians are like
bullfrogs - what isn't stomach is head and that's mostly
mouth.
Living proof? The Texas GOP's new leader Cathie
Adams. She's so right she's wrong.
The Dallas GOP, who got whomped in the last election
and is in need of some comeback juice, is
not dazzled by her either --
Dallas
County GOP chair Jonathan Neerman says the party
needs "serious leaders with serious ideas," and
Adams apparently doesn't fit that description. "She
has been part of an issue group that has gone after
Republicans, and I don't know how she can shift
gears and go from being an issue-group leader going
after Republican candidates and elected officials to
now being one where she has to try and grow the
party."
But, even he couldn't control his bullfrog mouth.
When Cathie was elected the new State Chair, Neerman
said ---
Rules
required that the chair remain a woman because the
vice-chair is a man, which Neerman says watered down
the candidates.
Watered down? Having to pick a woman watered-down
the choices? That's what we hooter toters are
famous for - watering down the human race.
Republicans - where even the good guys ... ain't.
My favorite blue butt Democrat,
It is so nice to see back in fine form after
your bout with the creeping epizooties or
whatever it was you had. As always, your
not-a-blog is a must-read for me.
I agree with you about making the
Republicants fillibuster the health
insurance reform bill
and
to have to do it the old-fashioned way. One
stipulation, though. They cannot read names
out of the telephone book during the 24/7
talking. And I think they should make John
McCain and/or Mitch McConnell do the
fillibustering. Or maybe Inhofe. (Though he
would probably just keep repeating that
there is no such thing as global warming. Ya
know, on account of it's been proven
scientifically and he don't believe in no
such thing as science 'cause the earth is
only 6,000 years old and man and dinosaurs
co-existed at one time.) With any luck,
whoever does do the fillibustering will end
up with laryngitis and we won't have to
listen to them lying liars who lie lyingly
spout off about anything for awhile.
Then maybe once the fillibustering is
finally over, we will get a decent reform
bill passed. I get so tired of so-called
pundits saying Harry Reid needs 60 votes to
get it passed when he needs the 60 for
cloture and then a simple majority of 50+1
to pass the bill. I don't mind the opt-out
clause because that is already in both
Medicare and Medicaid and which states have
opted out of those? Let me see ... Texas?
Nope. Georgia? Nope. Louisiana? Nope. Oh,
wait. That's right. None of the states have
ever opted out. Any governor or legislature
that did would be strung up real quicklike.
And did you hear? Your Belle of Heaven's
granddaughter that was the pretend
prostitute and her pretend pimp are facing
problems with the legality of their secret
taping of the ACORN people. Seems it's a tad
illegal to secretly tape someone in the fine
state of Maryland. And probably in a few
other states, as well. I really dislike
smug, nasty-minded kids like dear Hannah and
James. I wonder how proud Grandma Belle will
be when her happy hooker granddaughter is
found guilty of illegal taping? Personally,
I still want to see the unedited tapes they
made. How much did they edit out that didn't
fit their preconceived notions of ACORN and
would actually prove they were offered good
advice and help? Hmmm ... inquiring minds
want to know.
Take care and stay well from your friend in
blue San Antonio,
Mary
October 28
- Oh Sweet Jesus, thank you, thank you. I must
be paying the right preacher! I am chock full of
glee right now.
Remember how I told you that Sarah Palin is coming to
Texas to campaign for Governor Rick Perry?
Well, ta-da!
It's dueling idiots ----
Former Vice
President Dick Cheney may have left office
overwhelmingly unpopular with the country at large,
but he's
headed back on the campaign trail -- to endorse
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) in her campaign for
governor, challenging incumbent Gov. Rick Perry in
the Republican primary.
Darth Cheney and Marabou Barbie! I say send them
on a hunting trip together and whoever makes it back
with a face and not having been field dressed, is the
winner.
This is going to be more fun than feeding monkeys at
the zoo.
Just think of the nasty things they are already
thinking up to say to each other.
Just to give Ole Dick the head start: Do you know the
difference between Sarah Palin and the Panama Canal?
One's a busy ditch.
UPDATE:
Hey - just heard the official Perry reaction to the
announcement:
"It’s not surprising
considering they both worked together in Washington
for so long. The Washington establishment usually
sticks together."
Oh, that's got to make the Texas Republican
Congressional delegation and Senator John Cornyn happy.
Just heard on CNN that Dick Cheney has come
out for Kay Baby. Maybe he's jealous of
Ricky's hair. Maybe he thinks there isn't
enough contention in the Republican
primary. Maybe he's out of his tiny little
mind.
A deputy assistant
attorney general who said he was on his lunch break
when an officer found him with a stripper and sex
toys in his sport utility vehicle has been fired,
his boss said Wednesday.
And then comes the
kicker ----
There was no answer
Wednesday at a number listed for Corning, who was a
Republican legislator in the late 1980s and early
1990s.
Dude, if you need Viagra, sex toys AND a stripper, your
hanky-panky days are pretty much over.
(Thanks to Kathy for the heads-up!)
October 28 -
Hooray for the
Houston Chronicle.
As you know, Governor Rick Perry executed an innocent
man because, dammit, we love the death penalty in Texas.
Apparently, sometime we do it just to stay in practice.
Governor Perry says he reviewed the clemency report the
day of the execution, but refuses to let anyone else
know what was in that report.
The Houston Chronicle
and Hearst Newspapers LLC are suing Gov. Rick Perry
in an effort to force the release of a clemency
report Perry received before denying a stay of
execution to Cameron Todd Willingham.
The report is a summary
and status of the case against Willingham that was
given to Perry at 11:30 a.m. on the day of
Willingham's 2004 execution in the fire deaths of
his three daughters. Anti-death penalty advocates
say modern fire forensics show the blaze cannot be
proven as arson.
It's absolutely edifying to see this and it's why we
need to keep newspapers alive. You don't see no
blogger suing the Governor. I'll admit that the
Chronicle doesn't do much good, but this will keep them
on the worthwhile side for a month or two.
This is an
excellent plan and an unusual and festive
way to celebrate the holidays. Gotta have
turkeys for the holidays, and heaven knows
the Senate has an abundance of turkeys. I
suggest that C-Span on mute with the radio
on ballgames is the way to monitor this
fandango. The Dems will have to plan on two
Senators to be present at all times to
preside and to provide surveillance reports.
After a week and it looks like the
Republicans and that twit Joe L seem to be
thinning out, Harry Reid can twitter the
Dems to come in for a cloture vote. While
the Republicans are manning their fort and
boring each other to tears, the Dems can go
to parties, decorate trees, work in soup
kitchens, enjoy their families, etc.

Joe Lieberman can kiss my big blue butt. He
has taken a million dollars from big insurance and is
delivering the payoff. He's a pavement princess.
I don't like him and always will.
Now, here's a plan:
I think we should let them filibuster, but we should
make them follow the rules and be made to filibuster
24/7.
They
should have to talk day and night, every day. They
should be like the Mafia and have to bring in the
mattresses. Okay, I admit that might be a mistake
with David Vitter around.
The upside? Republicans don't know that many
words and soon they'll be speaking in tongues.
That will be very cool because snake handling and feet
anointing comes next.
The other upside? People will see them as the big
unrepentant insurance sluts they are.
Let 'um talk through Thanksgiving, Christmas even,
while people are getting sick and going without health
insurance. Let 'um talk while the country stands
still and waits. Let 'um talk while all of us just wait,
and wait, and wait. Let 'um talk because that's
what they're good at. Just talk.
They have no plan of their own. Their only plan
is to stop progress.
I say Let Them Filibuster. It will be the final
death of the Republican Party.
October 27 - The
best friends are those who see a tee-shirt and
immediately know who it belongs to.
Thank you, Dianne.
It's even my favorite color - shiny.
I suspect I'll be wearing this shirt a lot during the
upcoming political season because local Republicans
think that all the local offices are theirs by
birthright.
That's on the change schedule, Babe. There's some
local Republican judges who need to try to earn an
honest living and a district attorney who is just too
damn creepy to stay in office any longer. I'm
coming after ya, Boys, and I have a tee-shirt.
Susan,
Think I am going to have to get me a shirt
like that.
I am wicked pissed that Palin and Beck have
stuck their nose in my race (NY 23rd). I
have volunteered, not money but my time to
the Democrat, Bill Owens.
I also sent a curt email to Lieberman.
Maybe my tee shirt should say, Fed UP &
FIRED UP!!!

Now I know that everybody on planet Democrat is taking
credit for the complete turn-around on the public option
yesterday.
The White House says they did it. Dick Durban
says
progressive Democrats in the Senate did it.
However, we know who really did it. It was those
copies of Profiles In Courage that
Fort Bend Democrats Club sent to the reluctant
Senators. It got the dogs out from under the
porch.
I know for a fact that one of the Senators sent back a
thank you note ---
So if you need anything progressive done, you know who
to call - Barbara and the
Fort Bend
Democrats Club.
This ain't our first rodeo, cowboy.
Katy resident Tim Graney
has announced his candidacy for the 14th
Congressional District, challenging maverick
Republican incumbent Ron Paul.
“It is time for Ron Paul
to step down and step aside so he can pursue his own
interests while a new statesman emerges to represent
the district,” Graney said. “I told him so Sunday
afternoon.”
The guy says he's raised $15,000 in the first week of
campaigning. Honey, if we charged him a dollar
every time he uses the word "values" or "American
values," he'd have spent it all by now.
I think he's set on reminding everyone that Dr. Paul's
hero, Ayn Rand, is a born again devout atheist.
That might be fun. You'd have all these high
school sophomores Objectivists fighting with the
rightwing Steeple People. Very cool to watch, ya
think?
I have a theory that anybody who likes Ayn Rand after
high school is cranky, mean and a raging narcissist.
October 26 - My
friend David sent this and it was too good not to share.
I'm sure you've heard that the conservative Christians
are
revising the Bible because King James put in some
stuff they don't cotton to, like loving your neighbor or
being kind to poor people.
Here's some new sample verses ---
The
Top 5 Passages From the Conservative Bible
5.
Jesus spoke on the mount and just as he said
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven," a lone voice in the crowd
shouted, "You lie!"
4. It
is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a
needle than it is for a liberal-controlled Congress
to pass a health-care bill.
3. Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do. Not that I have any
objections to capital punishment, you understand...
2.
So the Lord God banished the brown people from the
gated community of Eden, allowing them to returneth
only during the day with landscaping tools.
And
the Number 1 Passage From the Conservative Bible...
1.
And Moses spake at the burning bush: "That'll teach
you to run around with every man in town, you
harlot! Now go get a shot of penicillin."
A
previously undiscovered passage from the
Conservative Bible:
"A new commandment I give unto you, That
ye love one another...particularly in
airport restrooms, or Argentina"
(John 13:34)

Okay, for those of you who are new here, we've been
playing "Let Gov. Rick Perry Buy Shaniqua a Car."
It seems that Governor Perry is paying $20 per person
to get people to sign-up for his email alerts.
We found Shaniqua Curry up in North Texas who needs a
car to get to school. It's a match made in heaven.
Shaniqua needs about 70 more people to sign-up so she
can buy a dependable used car to get to class. Click
right about here to sign up to take $20 from Rick
Perry while helping a young woman get to college.
This is more fun than a barrel of Sarah Palin books.
I couldn't sign up again with my
really really real name and "Barack
Hussein Mohammad Obama" was already
taken, so Delbert McClinton signed
up tonight.
BTW, Delbert has moved to Katy
and lives in an extended stay
palace. Who knew?

October 25 - The
next thing on Tom DeLay's schedule is to claim his
daughter took off in a balloon he was building in his
backyard.
On Friday,
Disney-ABC Domestic Television announced they'd
found another reality-TV home for DeLay. He will sit
in as the "Expert" in the "Ask the Expert" lifeline
for episodes of the syndicated show "Who Wants to Be
a Millionaire" airing all next week, Oct. 26-30.
Contestants
who have correctly answered the $5,000 question can
ask to be connected to a pre-determined "expert" via
Skype. DeLay will appear from Los Angeles in the
episodes. He told contestants ahead of time he knows
a lot about politics, sports, history, and science.
He also warned contestants he's weak on pop culture
-- anyone who saw that "Wild Thing" cha cha knew
that already -- celebrities, and literature.
He knows a lot about history and science? Good
Lord, you could've fooled America about that science and
history thing. Just ask Terri Schiavo or anybody
who lived through the Great Depression - the man knows
diddle squat about science or history.
Y'all, he doesn't believe in evolution and thinks
gravity is just Jesus sitting on your head.
The only thing that really bothers me about this deal
is that God already has a lot on his plate, what with
sickness, agony, little hurt children, war, and hunger.
During Dancing With The Stars, Tom Tweetered --
He's got people praying for him to win? Ain't
folks got better things to pray about? Do I need
to whack them upside the head to reset their thinkin'
mechanism?
(On a sidenote, Verdelia says "You know that whole broken
feet thing he got? MY answered prayer."
Verdelia can be very tacky sometime.)
All I can say is that the man will do anything for
money. There is no bottom to his shame.
I thought that "thang" twitchin' in his
Cha-Cha number WAS the bottom to his shame!
Guess I was mistaken.
Gramiam
Susan,
He just
can’t seem to stay away from the media
that he so despises. I figure that his
next gig will be on Jeopardy, sort of
like when Cliff Clavin of Cheers was a
contestant. If you were a fan of the
show, you probably remember how the
categories were tailor made for him -
Civil Servants, Stamps
from Around the World, Mothers and Sons,
Beer, Bar Trivia, and Celibacy. Maybe
they can do the same for Tom Delay. I’m
coming up with categories such as
Lobbyists, Corruption, Insects and
Vermin, Creation Science, Junkets, and
Golf. Maybe someone else can come up
with categories for Double Jeopardy.

Oh sweet manna from heaven, I must be living right --- Cathie Adams
has just been named the new Chairman of the Republican
Party of Texas. Cathie is Phyllis Schlafly's
protégé.
She ain't no fan of Obama, and charmed her minions with
this statement:
"While many
question Barack Hussein Obama’s ‘religion’…, the more
important question is whether he has a
‘relationship’ with Jesus Christ because that is the
only HOPE that any of us have to obtain eternal
life. I personally see NO evidence that Obama has
that kind of ‘saving faith.’”
Plus, she thinks science is a tool of the devil.
She opposed money for cancer research with this
reasoning:
“Scientists
are on the verge of cloning humans, injecting them
with diseases and studying them, then killing them.”
What a gift to Democrats this woman is.
Looks like Cathie Adams thinks God is
incapable of judgment and therefore has
volunteered to assume that duty for Him.
She must have missed the bit about judge
not. Perhaps one of the other Belles of
Heaven can clue her in before she faces her
own day of judgment.

October
23 - Texas Governor Rick Perry is so crooked
that when he dies, we'll have to screw him into the
ground.
However, it appears that
he's got a head start on the screwing part --
Gov. Rick Perry's
appointee as chairman of the Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission is soliciting contributions for
the governor's re-election campaign from the owners
of bars and restaurants he regulates.
And if you're stopped by the Texas Rangers, they will
accept contributions for Rick Perry, too.
I did find it interesting that Perry appears to be beer
drinker's candidate ---
Campaign records show
that Perry has received more than $400,000 from
restaurant interests since he became governor in
2000. In addition, he has raised nearly $800,000
from beer and liquor interests regulated by the TABC.
He's lower than
whale poop on the bottom of the ocean. He really
is.
October 23 - You
know, every time the Republicans start looking like they
might win a squabble, a Texas Republican steps forward
and dumps all over his own party. We grow them
that way around here.
Texas Republican
Representative John Carter is another name to add to
the long list of Texans determined to embarrass
themselves.
It seems that Carter got himself worked into a ball o'
indignation over Democrat Charlie Rangel. Carter
led the charge to hoot and holler about Rangel having no
damn ethics.
Well, come to find out ....
It appears that
Carter has cornered the market on hypocrisy shares.
Hailing from Williamson County (north of Austin), it
appears that Carter got rich being a District Court
Judge, which is no small feat in itself. But, he
was humble about his wealth and didn't want to flaunt
it, and getting the townsfolk all asking questions and
such, so ---
Rep. John
Carter failed to disclose nearly $300,000 in profits
from oil stock sales in 2006-07, Roll Call reported
Thursday.
In the interest of full disclosure I want to tell you
that I don't like John Carter and always will. He
is a creepy little man.
He is also the founder of the Congressional Prayer
Caucus, which he will be needing after scamming the IRS.

educated lawyer with a surgeon's touch in cross
examination.
And since it's Friday, you might also enjoy
Voice's meandering thoughts on the Mayan Calendar,
2012, Mac operating systems, ass twitching, and superior
Chickness. Maybe it's because I'm on heavy drugs

Kathy
Susan,
I'm
kinda liking this crazy. Two
crazy Republican ladies are
supporting the Conservative Party
with SarahPAC contributing
to Conservative Party candidate John
Hoffman's New York election. Now if
they can just get their numbers to,
let's say, 20% or so we will have it
made.
This
may be the answer to my
dreams. Sarah Palin- the Ralph Nader
of the Republican Party. A big
thanks to Michelle and Sarah. These
two will help us keep America great.
On
another note I watched Oliver

time. Crazy wingnuts with guns came
to mind.
Scary.

I swear, I'm driving down there
tomorrow and if I see that crap, I'm
taking those signs down.
There are days when I HATE Fort

many) still worships at Tom DeLay's
ass.
I work 2 minutes from the post
office. Those signs are comin' down.
Lefty
Susan, we
really do need to get Tom DeLay
something better to do with all his
spare time. Putting out signs by
the side of the road is dangerous.
He could get hit by a car and then we'd
have to file an environmental impact

October 22 - Okay,
so I was watching teevee and some damfool came on saying
that

No. It's largely just money.

keep the idiots off my teevee, okay?
And tell Dick Cheney to drink a big ole heaping cup of
shut the hell up before you get this country attacked.
The operator of a
La-Z-Boy chair converted into a motorized vehicle --
complete with a stereo and cup holders -- has
admitted that he crashed the piece of furniture
after getting extremely drunk at a bar in Proctor,
Minn.
Dennis LeRoy
Anderson, 61, of Proctor, pleaded guilty Monday to
hopping on the chair on the night of Aug. 31, 2008,
after hours of drinking at the Keyboard Lounge, then
crashing into a more traditional vehicle in the
parking lot. Anderson's blood-alcohol content was
0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit
for driving in Minnesota.
Driving triple drunk in a La-Z-Boy. That's not
only legal in Texas; it's encouraged.
And the best news of all ---
The chair
was impounded and will be sold at the next police
auction.
I know what Bubba's getting for Christmas.

nice emails you're sending but if anybody has a spare
big ole sack 'o health, she'd appreciate that on the
doorstep.
Lil' Bubba came by last night and fed her some tortilla
soup, so that should be kicking in pretty soon.
Be careful what you breathe out there, friends, or you

Yes, siree, we strongly believe in the death penalty in
Texas, even for innocent people.
Gov Rick Perry and Sen Kay Bailey Hutchison have found
themselves in a wee quandary. Texas has executed
an innocent man.
A man lost all his children in a fire and then was
falsely accused and convicted of starting the fire
himself. Even if he is burning in hell right now
for other sins, hell has got to be better than what
happened to him on earth.
Rick Perry immediately destroys the commission that was
looking into this travesty of justice, and Kay Bailey
Hutchison says .... prepare yourself for this one ....
that the problem is not that we killed an innocent man.
No, that's not a big deal.
The problem, according to Kay, is that when Rick Perry
dissolved the commission, he just made it easier for
liberals to whine about the death penalty.
No, I'm serious.
She said that.
The only thing Rick
Perry’s actions have accomplished is giving liberals
an argument to discredit the death penalty. Kay
Bailey Hutchison is a steadfast supporter of the
death penalty, voted to reinstate it when she served
in the Texas House and believes we should never do
anything to create a cloud of controversy over it
with actions that look like a cover-up.
I
knew this race was going to be entertaining, but I never
dreamed it would get this sick.
Create a cloud of controversy? Oh dear God.
New bumper sticker for Kay? "Kay Favors the Death
Penalty the Most. She Even Favors It for Innocent
People. So There."

Just in case you ever wondered if I had friends in great
places, I do.
My friend Barbara (who comments here regularly and also
delivered copies of Profiles in Courageto wavering Democratic Senators for the Fort Bend
Democrats Club) is holding the sign that says
Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
She got to help deliver the petition and to meet Alan
Grayson, who she says is "very tall."
I signed that petition. I'll sign it again if
they'll let me. Any elected member of congress who
calls themselves a Democrat better be prepared to act
like one.

Side note to Harry Reid: You told us you
needed 60 Senators. We gave you 60 Senators.
Now you tell us that you need 60 Senators plus a woman
from a small, insignificant state?
Senator Reid, leadership doesn't seem to be a snug fit
on you.
If you want to be the head buck at the lick, you need
to gut up and shove this sucker down the throats of
every health insurance pansy the GOP elected and
then laugh as they all gag and sputter.
Until Harry Reid goes and hunts himself up something he
can use for courage and determination, it looks like the
Democratic Party has sold the farm to the health
insurance lobby.
It's starting to piss me off.
This is from my friend Bud Malone, who says
his anger got the best of him and he wrote a
letter to the Democratic National Committee
---
Democratic Committee. I have been a
labor Democrat since I voted for FDR in
1944 – a mail ballot from a south
pacific war zone. Your record on health
care is not only disappointing but
borders on disgraceful. You have the
votes – use them for a public option.
Bipartisanship is nonexistent. Wake up!
When you people grow a backbone get back
to me.
Bud Malone.
Great job Bud. I just sent an email to
the DNC to tell them to step-up and
provide the people that elected them
with the same security of Health Care
that is provided to them and their
families by us!
CL

We'll call it the Low IQ Glory Trail. I can

I was at the doctor's office all morning with Bubba
because he has the swine flu. I've got him propped
in front of the teevee with his Gatorade and Tamiflu.
Last I checked, he was watching something about chicken
fried bacon on the Food Channel. God help us all.
Meanwhile, my friend David jumped all over the news for
me and found me this screenshot of the new GOP website.
No entries under "Sound Reasoning."
Yep.
Hi Susan,
Well, I had heard about the new GOP website,
so I just went and took a look. What a
mess! Do they not have any geeks in the
GOP? If you go to the "photos" page (for
example) there are two headers on the page,
the bottom one is not quite complete. Then
scroll down to the photos, I had to go look
for any minorities (didn't spot any). The
rest of the web site has minorities all over
it, where did they find those people? Are
they relatives of Michael Steele? I also
love the "heros" page, they had to go pretty
far back to find a woman to be proud of.
Anyway, in case you haven't had a chuckle
today, go take a peek.
Love you,

October 14 -
Well, we've finally got us a local Republican
candidate who is damn near Biblical, because if goofy
begats goofy, then Richard Raymond is the Republican
dream candidate.
Our goofy Republican Sheriff Milton Wright, who is so
old that we have to carbon date him to know how many
candles to put on his birthday cake, handpicked himself
a candidate to oppose the current Republican District
Attorney, who is no prize himself.
Milton's candidate, Richard Raymond, is local attorney
who got himself off to semi-tragic start today when his
first press
release pulled the trigger on an empty chamber.
For starters, in his press release, Raymond claims to
be close friends with Sheriff Milton Wright but refers
to Milton's wife as Mary Ann. I know it's
difficult to keep up with all the Marys in Milton's
life, but his wife's name is Marion. His special
friend's name is Mary. God only knows who Ann is,
but she better be watching over her shoulder for Mary
and Marion.
Second off, on the press release, right there in black
and white, Raymond lists his website as
www.richardraymond.com Yeah, go look at it.
It's the website for Democratic State Rep Richard
Raymond, the more famous and competent of the Richard
Raymonds named here.
Uh, you'd think the local Raymond boy would know his
own website, which, through my famous highly trained
investigative skills, I have found on the google to be
www.richardDraymond.com. Not that it helped a
whole lot because this is all that's there.
He's got it floored in neutral.
The little letters at the bottom say, "Website launches
soon." Obviously not soon enough. Daylight
is burning, and this guy can't even get a website up?
Oh, and Marion Wright (you remember her, the sheriff's
wife that Richard Raymond was so impressed with that he
couldn't remember her name) is his treasurer. It
says that. On this webpage.
But, as is my habit, I've saved the best for last.
Raymond claims in his press release that he's a
"lifelong Republican."
Uh, there's a small hole in that statement. He
doesn't vote much.
Since 1992, he's only voted in 3 Republican primaries.
I only have records back to 1992, but since then, he has
never, ever, not once, voted in a non-Presidential
general election. In other words, he's never voted
for a Governor or a District Attorney - Republican or
Democrat.
So this guy is asking the voters to do something he's
never done - get up off their lazy rumps and walk a
couple of blocks down the street to vote in
non-Presidential years.
However, on the upside, the campaign slogan of "My
First Vote for District Attorney Will Be For Myself"
probably isn't taken.
This is gonna be a fun race that will test the physical
boundaries of incompetence. I got a $50 bet on
this Raymond guy for pure entertainment factor.
Damn, I love living here.
October 13 -
I think there's some special sweetness to the fact
that the only Republican with any cajoles is a female.
Thank you,
Olympia Snowe.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and a woman's
gotta do the rest.
Sue DuQ,
"cajoles"? Is that Texan for "cojones"?
(smile)
Most of the time, northern anglos seem to
misspell it
"cajones" (which means packing box, IIRC).
Anyway, life down your way seems to be more
entertaining than it is here in the hills
of upstate NY. Our local Repug. politicians
are usually way more boring than yours. At
least now we have a good Congressman, Eric
Massa, a fighting Dem. who beat Randy Kuhl,
a true hack, last year.
When Randy was still our state Senator, he
pulled two shotguns on his estranged (and
now ex-) wife once after an argument at a
dinner party. He also got a DWI several
years ago, but had the sense to plead
guilty immediately. Despite those hiccups,
when long-time Rep. Amo Houghton retired,
Randy got elected, and then re-elected to
Congress, which shows how Republican this
area is.
Leaf color is about peak. We might get some
snow tomorrow night, too.
Aren't you jealous? (smile)
Keep up the good work!

Texas Governor Rick Perry has recently been accused
of being the most secretive Governor in Texas history.
He
won't even release his daily schedule. He says
that's because of 9-11 but I think it's because he
doesn't know where he's going.
Perry has fought to keep
his itinerary of upcoming meetings and appearances
from public review. No e-mail he has written has
been made public because he only uses a personal
e-mail account, which he says is not used for state
business. His executive staff keeps a schedule that
destroys most of the e-mails it generates every
seven days.
Okay, think about
it. Would you really want the Texas Governor to
release his daily itinerary when it includes things
like, "sneak up to Washington to spy on Kay," or "beauty
nap!", or "shopping trip for hair product shopping at
Glamorous Gale's Nail Salon and Hair Boutique" or "ask
Sarah Palin where she buys her guns."
No, my friends, it would just depress you to know what
Governor Rick Perry is doing all day. He's
actually protecting you.
Susan,
Maybe
he's "hiking the Appalachian Trail" and
doesn't want anybody to know.
Barbara
Susan. If we could resurrect John
Nance Garner he might have filled a page
or two of irreverent quotes about Mr.
Perry’s inadequacies.
Bud
Susan,
I keep hoping our guv and
the quitter ex-guv Palin
would get to "know" each
other in the true Biblical
sense, but then that would
be i-n-c-e-s-t., wouldn't
it?
A California company
wants to convert an empty facility formerly used as
nursing home into a trauma assistance center for as
many as 88 female veterans, including those who have
been sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers.
But some Taylor
residents say they don't want the facility in their
town.
And do you want to know why they don't want injured
female veterans in their town?
"They can
have an episode where a flashback transports them
back into a combat situation, and they can perceive
anyone as a threat: an elderly person taking a walk
around the neighborhood, or a child on a bike," she
said.
This is a town with about fifty guys named Bubba who get
drunk on Saturday night and decorate stop signs with
their AK47.
Honey, I've been to Taylor, Texas. And while I
will admit that Louis Mueller's Barbeque is some of the
most outstanding burned meat I've ever eaten, Taylor
ain't exactly a garden spot. Here's the deal: you
eat, you leave. There ain't one single reason to
linger in Taylor.
I'm damn near dead-eyed certain that these women would
much rather be someplace else. Hell, they'd
probably rather be in Iraq.
The town of Taylor should be welcoming these women with
roses because it's very obvious that these women love
America more than Taylor loves them.
Shame on you,
Taylor. One more peep outta you and we'll
export you to Oklahoma.
And what would you bet that all the good
ole boys and girls in Taylor has
"support the troops" just below the
gunracks on their pickups/SUV's etc.
Jerry C.
I love
your little website, turned on to me
by an acquaintance Bud. I like to
refer to it whenever I'm fretting
about how half-baked things are here
in flori-duh. so many of your
posts, and especially today’s,
confirm for me it could always be
worse. I imagine that doesn’t make
you feel any better about the state
of things in Texass, but I sure do
hope you keep fighting the good
fight, ultimately, for all of us.

You people for foreign states won't appreciate this
for all it's worth, but I have a couple of local stories
that cannot sit idle.
The first is about Craig Brady. Brady is the chief
deputy at the sheriff's office. He's gossipy as an
old widow woman in charge of the prayer list, and about
as smart as cold dog dump.
Brady announced his intensions to run for sheriff
less than a month after the last election. The
oath of office wasn't even dry on the sheriff's desk.
His boss, Sheriff Milton Wright, is retiring in 4 years.
That means Brady announced and began campaigning 28 days
short of a full 4 years from the election. Good
Lord, you'd think he was a Democrat.
Now, there's gonna be a couple of rodeos in the next 4
years, including an election of most local officials in
2 years, which will not, repeat not, include the
sheriff's race.
So why did Brady announce so danged early? Well,
there's some speculation that the sheriff is gonna
retire early and Brady hopes to get Commissioners Court
to appoint him to the position. The Sheriff says
he won't resign, just to make fools of the people who
are saying he will. He is as stubborn as a
two-headed mule, and not in a good way, you know, like
me.
And there's also speculation that Brady hopes to
cash-in on two election cycles. Maybe he hopes to
confuse people into thinking he needs money in 2010 when
he ain't even running until 2012. As you could
expect, there are people waiting in line to donate money
to a sheriff. That $100 donation might come in
handy when you're caught shooting out street lights at
3:00 a.m. while wearing nothing but a coon skin cap and
cowboy boots. Or you need special treatment for
your daughter in jail.
Anyway, some locals were kinda amazed to see that Brady
already had bumper stickers out for his election in 4
years from now. They are, of course, the required
amount of ugly for a local election.
About the only local race with successful bumper
stickers is the sheriff's race. It's kinda like
having a 100 Club sticker without having to donate $100.
People figure it's one of those "Get Out Of A Traffic
Ticket Free" things. I have a buddy who keeps a
throwdown "Wright for Sheriff" bumper sticker in her
glove compartment in case she ever rear ends someone.
She figures the deputy will ask the driver of the car
she hit how fast they were going in reverse when the
accident happened.
Now you'll notice something else about the bumper
sticker. It don't say "Republican" anywhere on it.
That's pretty damn amazing in this county.
Maybe Brady ain't as dumb as I thought he was.
Maybe he's also heard all the demographic experts who
say that Fort Bend will go totally blue in 2012.
In which case, Brady needs every minute of the next 4
years to apologize to black folks, brown folks, and
wimmen folks. He ain't the most progressive fella
on the block, so he won't be able to start his
apologies soon enough.
There's also the local joke that Brady keeps sneaking
up behind the sheriff and hollers, "JUMP!" every chance
he gets. Honey, we've got a 71 year old sheriff
who is two cream cheese kolaches and a good scare
short of a heart attack. Maybe Brady is hedging
his bets.
So here we have an old sheriff who ain't exactly there
even when he's there, and a chief deputy out running for
sheriff.
Things could be better.
The second local story has to do with Terese Raia,
founder and head busybody of our local rightwing
zealots. Terese founded the Spirit of Freedom
Republican
Women's Club, which I promptly renamed the Belles of
Heaven. It fit so perfectly that now even other
Republicans call them that.
Terese is obsessed with s-e-x. She's against it.
And that takes a whole lot of effort on her part what
with all the research and inquiries it takes to spawn
the necessary Republican indignation and outrage over
s-e-x.
I remember that she got all aquiver with excitement
when she got named to the Sexually Oriented Business
Committee for the county. I was there. I can
still see the little spittle things forming at the edge
of her mouth. I saw it. I did. I
tremble in fear at the power a committee appointment can
have with Republican women. Be glad you didn't see
it.
Anyway, remember how some folks disguised themselves as
s-e-x workers and went to an ACORN office and ran a
sting?
Well, lookie here, ya'll.
The girl that ran the sting as a pavement princess?
Terese Raia's granddaughter.
No, I am not kidding.
They could have run a lot of scams, so why did they
pick s-e-x? Genetics. I'm sure of it.
November 21st: Spirit of Freedom Republican
Women: Will host a
fundraising event at Sugar Creek Country Club
featuring as keynote speaker Miss
Hannah Giles, the young lady who posed as a
prostitute in multiple ACORN offices that lead to
Congressional defunding of ACORN as seen on FOX
News. Hannah is the
granddaughter of Fort Bend's own Sam and Terese Raia. The
event will start at 6:30pm on Saturday, November
21st. Details on ticket prices and table
sponsorships forthcoming. Limited seating available.
(Emphasis is theirs, not mine.)
Okay, I don't have a granddaughter. However, when
I do, I hope I get to brag about something other than
the fact that when they needed a convincing hooker
look-alike, they picked my granddaughter.
And
gave her an award for it.
Susan-
I don't live in Fort Bend County (I'm a
migrant worker from poor little Harris
County), so please help me figure something
out...exactly which "Brady" is running for
FBC Sheriff?
A.
WAYNE BRADY
B. MARCIA BRADY
Either way, it should make for some great
campaign slogans:
BRADY A:
"Is Wayne Brady Gonna Hafta Whip A
Republican's A*s?"
BRADY B:
"Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!"
In the
ever-evolving story of the witch-hunt
against the community organization, ACORN,
Florida Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson and
others, have been hammering away on an
interesting point about the
Defund
ACORN Act
which recently passed the House and Senate,
and seeks to ban the organization from
receiving federal funds: This GOP-led
initiative, as written, may actually apply
the federal-funding ban to massive defense
contractors and other big corporations.
...and
this juicy nugget: Grayson put out this important statistic:
"The amount of money that ACORN has received
in the past 20 years altogether is roughly
equal to what the taxpayer paid to
Halliburton each day during the war in
Iraq."
....and
Blackwater employees killing Iraqis as
"payback for 9/11" and receiving 1-dollar
odd jobs from child prostitutes doesn't
strike anybody as worthy of a defunding?
October 9 -
Okay, a lot of my friends are going to disagree with
me about this, but I think it was a mistake for the
Nobel Committee to award Barack Obama the Nobel Peace
Prize this year.
As my friend
Robert Leleux said this morning, "I don't believe
in rewarding politicians, or children, until they've
earned it."
And more than one person has suggested that the Obama
Beer Summit won it for him.
Obama is wonderful. He's smart. He's kind.
He's the greatest thing since sliced bread. But,
we're still in two wars and Gitmo is open and operating.
It's like he can hear the clucking but he can't find the
nest. Let's wait until he does to reward him.
All this is doing is giving the rightwing more ammo
about Obama worship.
Secondly, it provides a handy distraction from
this catastrophe.
GOOD LORD, PEOPLE, I LIVE IN TEXAS. (Yes, I am
hollering.) We cannot, cannot allow states to opt
out of heath care.
Yoo hoo - lookie at me down here.
We cannot go back to state rights and let states opt
out of health care. Next thing we know they'll be
opting out of civil rights, women's suffrage, and public
education. This scares me so bad that I'm getting
a mouthful of my own heart.
We need to flag down the train before this idea reaches
the station.
And don't even try to pick an argument with me over the
fact that it's better than nothing at all. Babe, I
have had 8 years of nothing at all. I'm sick of
nothing at all.
But, dammit, we should not be in the position of having
to compromise with insurance companies. Why the
hell did we work our butts off to elect Democrats and
then still have insurance companies decide who lives and
dies?
Okay, so back to the Nobel Peace Prize. I guess
anybody who is not George Bush deserves one.
I agree with you and I think HE is not happy
about it either altho he should and will
accept it. Like he doesn't need more
pressure on him right now and has nothing to
point to that is of the substance of peace
except his determination about no WMD
anywhere, etc. Maybe the Europeans are just
further removed from our nation's problems
and can see things differently. Anyhow, I'm
"fer him" with or without without prizes.
Marie
This is one explanation for why the
Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Obama. I'm
just enjoying watching the heads of Right
Wing Nut bloggers, explode over this. I
agree with you on the Opt-Out thing on
health care. We both disagree with Howard
Dean on this one. We don't need 60 votes to
pass this. We need 51 actual Democrats.
Evelyn
Susan,
We
Americans are too busy contemplating our
navels to understand just how VERY
IMPORTANT that speech he gave in Egypt
to the Muslim community truly was. It
was a game changer. But, not that much
attention was paid to it here because
the MSM weren't interested and didn't
think we were, either. Plus, they would
have had to do some homework in order to
explain the importance of it. They want
to cover the specious lies issued on a
daily basis by Faux News. That's more
fun and can be done while sitting in a
Starbucks drinking a latte.
That
speech, along with his repeated messages
to and about Muslims, was one of the
reasons that the Iranians have been
willing to negotiate (in apparent good
faith) with us and the Russians over
their nuke program, IMHO. It's also
given hope to the non-terrorist Muslims
that solutions can be found to the
problem of Al-Queda and other groups
which are destabilizing there own
countries and economies.
So, the
folks in Oslo aren't completely off
their rockers.
Barbara
I'm
sure the wingnuts will be apoplectic
today. Obama? Nobel Peace Prize?
I can't say that I blame them. I
supported the award to Al Gore, but
then he had done something to get
the world to start thinking about
climate change.
TS
Susan,
I completely agree, it was too soon
to give our wonderful president the
Nobel Peace Prize. I'm guessing he
got it because the rest of the world
was so happy we didn't elect the old
guy and the dumb broad. He has near
rock star status in the world, but
as much as I think that is good for
us, it can be bad. Oh well, it give
Faux News something to talk about
all weekend.
Have a great weekend!
Cheryl
NOTE FROM SUSAN: I've had some
time to think about this thing and
now I tend to
agree with Andrew Sullivan about
it (thanks, Kary!) "I see this
prize as an endorsement of his
extraordinary reorientation of world
politics, and as an encouragement to
see it through."
Then there's Obama's own words ---
"And I know that throughout history,
the Nobel Peace Prize has not just
been used to honor specific
achievement; it's also been used as
a means to give momentum to a set of
causes."
But I
guess I've had to reevaluate by
opinion because I've enjoyed the
hell out seeing the rightwing go
wacko. They'll yammer all
weekend. And,
Lord knows they've got a good start.
I could not agree more with
Barbara. I felt that speech was
one of the top 5 most important
foreign policy speeches
ever….Probably right below “When
your neighbor’s house is on
fire, you lend him a hose”…But
definitely right alongside “Ich
bien ein Berliner” and “Mr.
Gorbachez, tear down this wall.”
But I think that speaks to why
America didn’t notice as much –
There is no take-away bumper
sticker line.
I also feel his Ramadan message
to Iran helped foster the Green
Revolution…
Mark
I was a bit skeptical too,
at first. But it is
recognition that much of the
world community apparently
loves and trusts Barack
Obama. Implicit is the
international appreciation
that the American people
finally got rid of George W.
Bush. And if the award
pisses off the loud mouths
and know nothings of the
right, all the better.
"Any Democratic senators
who support a Republican attempt to block a vote on
health care reform should be stripped of their
leadership titles. Americans deserve a clean
up-or-down vote on health care."
Hell, I think they should be stripped of their
underwear, tattooed on their behinds with "Glenn Beck is
oh so gay" and be dropped buck nakkid into a writhing
pit of teabaggers. And that, my friends, is why I
am not the Senate Majority Leader.

My buddy Barbara sent us this as a reminder that not
all the stoopid people in the world live in Texas.
NAIROBI (AFP) –
Somali pirates attempted to storm the French
navy's 18,000 tonne flagship in the
Indian
Ocean after mistaking it for a cargo vessel,
the French military said on Wednesday.
The crew of La Somme,
a 160-metre (525-foot) command vessel and fuel
tanker, easily saw off the brazen night-time assault
by lightly armed fighters on two lightweight skiffs
and captured five pirates, a spokesman said.
But, God Bless Him, East Texas Congressman Louis Gohmert
is giving these pirates a run for their money. I
honor his attempt to keep Texas' in the Gold Medal
position in the
Mindboggling Stupidity Olympics.
On the House floor yesterday, Louis got himself unduly
excited over unlawful sexual activities. Watch the
boy tremble in an very ungentlemanly fashion over hoochy
koochy with corpses.
It took him exactly 1 minute and 10 seconds to say that
some people think bestiality might be fun, thereby giving away
East Texas' best kept secret.
And he's not a racist. He voted for Alan Keys.
So there.
Plus, you probably did not know until this moment that
gay rights will result in economic chaos. Okay, so
I admit that gay weddings will be a massive economic
adventure, but isn't that a good thing? Not
according to Hilter!
No seriously. Hitler.
Louis Gohmert. Dumber than Somali Pirates.
Aside from being completely
asinine, that congresscritter
has apparently never heard of "Godwin's
Law."
Barbara
Susan,
Gohmert was going to enlist in
the Solami Pirates but he
couldn't pass the IQ test.
Hey
Zeus
I do believe that
Gohmert wins the
stupidity award for this
day.
That was the most
ignorant speech I've
heard in a longgggg
time!!! Who in their
right mind voted that
idiot in to office???
Is East Texas that
desperate???
Gawdddddddddd!!

Ho boy, talk about a two-fer! Congressvarmint Pete Olson whines because Washington
spends too much money. Then he whines because they
don't spend it here.
I am not kidding. I am perfectly serious.
Pete Olson
wrote this letter begging that he benefit from the
funds he voted against.
Since the stated
purpose of the stimulus package was to secure good
jobs and stabilize our economy, there is no better
investment that could be made than the addition of
up to $3 billion to NASA in FY2010, .....
Okay, Cap'n Pete, so you were opposed to good jobs and a
stable economy when you voted against the stimulus
package? He's a shameless whore; that's what he is.
However, he learned at the feet of the masters - Tom
DeLay and Phil Gramm. As my friendJudge Chief Charly Hoarse says, "He's Grammstanding."
October 6 - You mean kinda like he dropped out of Congress, too? Tom DeLay resigned from Dancing with the Stars.
You know, the author of a book entitled No Retreat, No
Surrender. And still to this day
he doesn't
get the irony? Y'all was that money he threw out at the end?
I mean, cripes, he's in trouble for money
laundering - you'd think maybe he wouldn't want
to advertise the fact that he was a for sale
congressvarmint right before he goes to trial.
I'm so sad. It was fun watching him dance.
It was thrilling to watch him dance very
badly. But watching him dance very badly
and in pain was almost more than a girl
could dream.

gotta give props to Mister DeLay
for:
1)
the courage to dance badly in public
(I can do that, too, but not in
front of a national TV audience),
2)
the courage to dance badly in red
pants (or do anything in red
pants, for that matter), and
3)
convincing the lovely and talented
Cheryl Burke to be his partner (when
he told her he could "dance like
Hammer", she thought he meant the
recording artist, not the hand tool
with the
claw on the end).

How long
until we learn what corruption
investigation forced Tom Delay
to resign from Dancing with the
Stars?
Mark
Ouch! The ultra
conservative Washington Times
referred to Tom as "Miss DeLay" in
their edition about him leaving the
show. That's got to hurt.
However, it's exactly what he
gets for booty proud.
October 6 -
We get email from the medical community.
Hot Tub Tom's x-rays are just in
from the Dancing With the Sisters of
the Holy Hoofers Memorial Hospital.
How is it possible for any one
human being to be so tough and so
brave to overcome such adversities
and perform for our entertainment
and enlightenment? Thinks of the
sacrifice Tommy is making for our
benefit!!! Has there ever been a
greater and truer American
Hero????? Has there ever been
someone with the (pending)
conviction to overcome such
liberally placed obstacles? What a
Guy!!!!!!1
Just look at the x-rays!!!!1 The
man's legs are stattered!!!!!111 A
lesser man could not walk, let alone
Samba like a Porn Star. I give it
an "!11"
These are the times of our best
and fondest future memories. Share
them with a loved one. Or a
favorite Bourbon.
Despite
repeated denials, Buchanek lived under a cloud of
suspicion for five months. His former Sheriff's
Office colleagues believed the dogs over him and his
pleas of innocence. But the dogs were wrong.
DNA evidence
implicated another man, who pleaded guilty to the
murder.
"It's left me with a
pretty bad taste for law enforcement," Buchanek
said. "It's pretty much ruined my life altogether."
Honey, if I could train Truman to type, I'd let him do
my website. It wouldn't make any sense because
Truman is a worse speller than I am and he voted
Independent once or twice when I wasn't looking.
But, heck, I'm lazy. You know, like some
policemen.
If you're local, you might want to wipe that grin off
your face. This is gonna cost us a damn fortune in
lawsuits. Cripes, somebody send the sheriff's
department a magnifying glass and a pipe because they're
one silly hat away from being Sherlock Holmes.
Susan,
It could be worse. After all it looks like
Gov. Perry executed a innocent man.
Mr. Willingham on the other hand, well he is
dead, convicted and executed on what one
investigator call BS= Bad Science. Heck, he
was one of 3 investigators who reviewed the
case and said BS!
This guy died because Perry was too afraid
of his moronic base that loves lots of
executions. I have a funny suspicion this
one may well bite him in the butt.

Look, if I tell you there's gonna be a dance, you can
tune your fiddle. I told you this race between
Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison would be filled with
more fun than a piñata.
The FBI is
investigating allegations that Internet hackers
deliberately sabotaged Gov. Rick Perry's campaign
Web site during a re-election announcement last
week, several Republicans with knowledge of the
investigation told The Associated Press.
They are camping on each
other's shirttails in the hopes they'll catch each other
doing something fun without proper permission.
Before it's all over they'll be calling in the FBI, the
CIA, the NSA and a particularly vicious branch of the
PTA.
They're both singing El Deguello (for
people from foreign states) at each other and
praying for mishaps.
To be honest with you, I think the odds are straight up
even that Kay won't withdraw from the Senate. She
just terribly underestimated how many lunatics there are
in the Texas GOP, and Rick Perry has all their phone
numbers.
By the way, we're still helping
Shaniqua take Rick Perry's money $20 at the time.
October 4 - I'm
pretty sure that it will come as no shock to you that
any club I'm a member of probably has a pretty active
rogue element.
I found kindred souls, including the beautiful and
charming Barbara in DeeCee, and helped hatch a plot to
have representative government. Ain't that a
kicker!
Free
enterprise isn't really free enterprise when
American taxpayers are subsidizing corporations.
But in Ohio, responsible employers are being
undercut by irresponsible big businesses who rely on
the state to make up for the wages or health care
they don’t provide to their workers.
And no surprise to regular readers of this blog--Walmart
is at the top of the list.
A
new report
released by Ohio Department of Job and Family
Services, and promoted by the Ohio UFCW locals shows
that Walmart has more employees on any kind of state
assistance than any other employer. In fact, about
28% of Walmart's employees are on Medicaid alone!
That's not counting Walmart workers on food stamps,
CHIP, or other numerous taxpayer-funded program.
So, the bottom line is that you spend money at Walmart
even if you don't shop there.
Babe, I could have have a successful business model,
too, if government paid my overhead.

Please allow me to introduce you to John Wieder, who is
running as a Democrat for Congressional
District
22 because ... Republican Pete Olson is just too darn
liberal.
First, there is this explanation of why he's a Democrat
if he supports Sarah Palin and detests Barack Obama ---
Thank you all for your support in 2008. This
election cycle we are entering the Democratic
Primary for TXD22.
OUR
CONGRESSMAN is a Republican and claims to be pro
life. I am like the Palins, 100 percent pro life.
Pete has so many exceptions that it makes him Pro
Choice.
In
the Democratic party, The blue dog and yellow dog
democrats are not agreeing on health care. There is
a Blue Dog Democrat that just got elected in a
special election by 1000 votes over the
republican.(the district is overwhelmingly
conservative)He is on the record before the break as
being against the Obama plan. He has had 14 town
hall meetings so far and still claims his vote is
no.
Got that? I think he's figured out that blue dogs
win in some conservative districts so he's running as
blue dog Democrat. Sadly, he didn't read about
primaries.
And God love him if he shows up at a Democratic
meeting! We older Democrats aren't known to be
real kind to people who want to turn all - yep, he says
all - health care over to private enterprise.
But, there's good news.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a

him, Susan!! Oh, and tell him to kiss my big
blue butt, too!

Did
that fool find that suit at the

can I be there when you do the candidate

Susan-
When I saw the picture of Mr. Wieder, I
couldn't help but think of a certain cartoon
villain for years past:
Should we be worried about his position on
important issues...or worried about him
tying Nell Fenwick to the railroad tracks?

Okay, good news for gay folks: you cannot get
married in Texas, but you might can
get divorced here.
Texas Attorney
General Greg Abbott had intervened in the two men's
divorce case, arguing that because a gay marriage
isn't recognized in Texas, a Texas court can't
dissolve one through divorce.
Callahan, a Democrat,
denied the attorney general's intervention and said
her court "has jurisdiction to hear a suit for
divorce filed by persons legally married in another
jurisdiction."
Well hell, everybody knows divorces make better
country-western songs that weddings do. So, we had
to loosen up a tad.
Looky what came in over the fax
machine this morning!

Texas Governor Rick Perry is gonna burn in hell one
day, but meanwhile, I figure it's our job to get his
butt used to the fire.
He is trying to hide the fact that he executed an
innocent man by pulling the old
Saturday Night Massacre trick.
A report concluding a
faulty investigation led to a Texas man's execution
won't be reviewed by a state board as planned Friday
after Gov. Rick Perry abruptly removed three people
from the panel, forcing the meeting's cancellation.
Perry, who has said
the execution was appropriate, replaced the head of
the Texas Forensic Science Commission and two of its
eight other board members Wednesday. The upheaval on
the commission came just 48 hours before it was to
consider a report critical of the arson finding
leading to Cameron Todd Willingham's execution for
the deaths of his three daughters in a 1991 fire.
You can contact Governor Perry
right here
and let him know that tricks do not substitute for
democracy.
Meanwhile, we're still big on
helping Shaniqua get a car from the Rick Perry campaign
to help her get to school in Denton, Texas. All
you gotta do is sign-up to get emails from Rick Perry on
Shaniqua's page and she gets money from Rick's campaign.
Rick Perry swears this is legal and Lord knows Shaniqua
needs a car. Be a sport and sign up by clicking
the link in her email below.
We even heard from Shaniqua last week thanking us for
helping her.
Well I sure do appreciate the
effort to help me out. It really
does get hard going to school
and working and not having the
means of transportation
to live a stable life.
Hey, you've done worse things in your life than scam an
evil politician.
Thanks for covering that scumball Perry's
execution of an innocent man and his
subsequent Saturday Night Massacre. If
anybody there in Texas is creating ads that
can be run on t.v. or placed on billboards
highlighting this come election time, please
let us know. I'll donate whatever I can to
run them.
Thanks again, Kathy

Welcome to the website formerly known as The World's Most
Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is
Susan DuQuesnay Bankston.
I live in Richmond, Texas, in heart of Tom DeLay's old
district. It's crazy here. No, seriously, it's
triple z crazzzy.
I used to be an independent voter, but that all changed when
I got to know a few local Republicans. They are meaner
than 10 acres of snakes and have the ethical compass of a
bank robber.
So, I
decided that they could just Kiss My Big Blue Butt.
A lot of
what I post here has to do with local politics, but you
probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't
a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. I've
been doing this since 1992, so I'm used to it even if you
ain't.
Email me
and I'll find a place to put it if I like it.
One of Robertson's writers, Kimberly Daniels, said ---
Living proof? The Texas GOP's new leader Cathie
Adams. She's so right she's wrong. 
They
should have to talk day and night, every day. They
should be like the Mafia and have to bring in the
mattresses. Okay, I admit that might be a mistake
with David Vitter around.
He knows a lot about history and science? Good
Lord, you could've fooled America about that science and
history thing. Just ask Terri Schiavo or anybody
who lived through the Great Depression - the man knows
diddle squat about science or history. 
Texas Republican
someone
left on my front porch and then ran away real quick
before they caught this crud. 
Rick
Perry. 
Our goofy Republican Sheriff Milton Wright, who is so
old that we have to carbon date him to know how many
candles to put on his birthday cake, handpicked himself
a candidate to oppose the current Republican District
Attorney, who is no prize himself. 
The first is about Craig Brady. Brady is the chief
deputy at the sheriff's office. He's gossipy as an
old widow woman in charge of the prayer list, and about
as smart as cold dog dump.
Republican
Women's Club, which I promptly renamed the Belles of
Heaven. It fit so perfectly that now even other
Republicans call them that.
I am not kidding. I am perfectly serious.
