Drunken Driver Republican Arrested with 4 Kids in the Car and Gun on his hip

Georgia Republican faces a new challenge in his re-election campaign after his arrest on drunken driving charges.
State Rep. Tom Taylor (R-Dunwoody) was stopped April 7 for driving 72 mph in a 45-mph zone with four children in his vehicle, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The 54-year-old Taylor had a blood-alcohol content of .225, which is nearly three times higher than the legal limit of .08, and was legally carrying a gun on his hip at the time of his arrest.

Nothing to see here. Standard rethug misbehavior. He will ask for personal forgiveness and say you are intolerant if you don't forgive him.

Carnival Cruz Stockpiles Chunky Soup After Honeymoon. No it's not an Onion Article

http://crooksandliars.com/2016/04/cruz-stockpiling-cans-chunky-soup
snip:
Here is the story Heidi shared with the audience, a story which I guess she thought would humanize him, but instead grossed many people out.

"When I married Ted, we got back from our honeymoon, and he went off to the store and came home by himself. And I was completely shocked to see that he arrived back at our apartment with literally 100 cans of Campbell’s Chunky soup. I never bought 100 of anything.

This was shocking to me, so we had a tough conversation about it. I said, “You don’t buy 100 of anything, much less canned soup. We can’t do this. I’ll be making things.” He said, “No, I know you. you won’t be making things.”

So the next morning, it was a weekend morning, I loaded up our car before he woke up and returned every single can. And when I got home, I called my mother just to make sure I’d done the right thing as a newlywed. And she emphatically disagreed with me. And so when Ted opened the pantry, I had to quickly tell him that I would go back and buy those cans again."

Alrighty then, I will not even attempt to explain this. Be my guest.

Odd Behavior?

While I was out walking today I noticed a line of cars preparing to go into the car wash. This was while very threatening rain clouds were overhead with a forecast of 100% rain for the day.

Perhaps they are optimistic declaimers of the Weather Wizards. Puzzled I am.

Stuck behind Wacko In Traffic

Stuck behind a truck today that featured stickers:

Vote Cruz

NRA

Democrats are Terrorists

Jesus Fish

These stickers were presented in the form of a tailgate and bumper by a lifted truck in front of me. It was like being forced to watch Faux News. I could have used a barf bag, but I maintained.
