10 Things This Week
1. I spent most of my life in dark movie theatres and stage theatres. This week, some sicko decides to shoot up a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado and kills 12 people. To me, the Theatre is sacred ground. My message: DON'T FUCK WITH THE THEATRE! (They should string him up by his testicles, crazy or not.)
2. If Mitt Romney won't release his tax returns, then whatever is in those returns must be more damaging to him politically, than the story of him not releasing them.
3. There's some speculation that Hilary Clinton will replace Joe Biden as VP. I'd like to see it.
4. It was revealed that the corporate eatery, Chick-fil-A, has been funneling millions of dollars to support anti-gay organizations. It's a free country and all that, but if you're selling chicken sandwiches for hate, then I don't have to eat them. Like Susan G Komen, and it's leaders' ignorant action against Planned Parenthood, chick-fil-a should learn to keep it's fucking mouth shut.
5. Penn State finally received some level of punishment from the NCAA. While it did vacate wins for the apathetic Joe Pa, it still lacked the bite of an SMU-type death penalty. The whole story disgusts me beyond words.
6. It's scary to hear David Dewhurst say things like "Obama doesn't understand business" or "Obamacare will cost Texas a trillion dollars." Seriously? Dude. You need to lay off the acid...
7. If you've been listening to Dewhurst, then you've been forced to listen to Ted Cruz, whose even more batshit than Dewhurst. What an embarrassment Texas has become.
8. If it weren't for lies, and the systematic belief of those lies, Republicans wouldn't have any ground to stand on. At this point, it's all they have left.
9. David Dewhurst has a commercial that says, "lets go to Washington and turn this thing around."
Turn what around? Progress? David, David, Davy, what you mean to say is, "put her in reverse."
10. The peaches and the cantaloupes are in.

The Weekly Runoff Wrangle
The Texas Progressive Alliance reminds everyone that this is the only
week of early voting for the July 31 primary runoffs as it brings you
this week's roundup.
Off the Kuff notes that Medicaid expansion would be far less expensive than originally claimed.
BossKitty at TruthHugger is sad to see history repeating itself more frequently. More and more people are "loosing" their sanity and getting away with it. Because of the recent mass murders in Colorado, I re-post I Have A Gun and I Have A Grudge – Aurora Update.
The Romney campaign is blatantly lying, and CNN and Fox News are going along with it. It's what WCNews at Eye on Williamson calls The horribleness of our media.
The Houston Chronicle made an endorsement in the Democratic primary that caused PDiddie at Brains and Eggs to question their integrity. It's an unsettling account of an editorial board with few apparent scruples and even less journalistic competence.
CouldBeTrue of South Texas Chisme wants you to know that our government is still building a monument to racism, aka that damn fence.
Justin at Asian American Action Fund has Linsanity.
Neil at Texas Liberal offered a first look at the 2012 Green Party Presidential ticket.

Mid-Week Funnies
Because there will be too many by the time we get to Sunday.
Starring Bain as Bane. (What's the difference?)
Rush Limbaugh naturally observed the batty coincidence/conspiracy, and Rachel Maddow promptly mocked him right the fuck out about it.
...Maddow contended that, sure, the villains in Batman were “pre-named decades in advance in anticipation of a 2012 presidential election in which one of the candidates would have a contested affiliation with a company named Bain.” The conspiracy is “deep” and has “a lot foresight,” she ridiculed, adding that, in that case, Gone With the Wind was an “early salvo of the clean energy movement.” [...] “The modern American Right is hermetically sealed in a media universe that lets in no natural light and no air,” she said. “They breathe in only their own exhalations.” And in that bubble, she asserted, they especially have an affinity for conspiracy theories.

10 Things This Week
1. Rick Perry can say he's going to refuse Obamacare all he wants, the fact is, Texas will be accepting it. The lawmakers in Austin desperately need it, despite their opposition. We live in the 2nd most populated state. Think about that a second...
2. The NCAA has yet to inflict one fine, one suspension, cancel one practice, cancel one football game, strip one bowl game, or suspend one season of recruiting for Penn State.
What's wrong with this picture?
3. A North Texas Dentist is building a water park in his back yard that's bigger than Celine Dions' water park in Florida. The Texas Attorney General says it's funded 100% by Medicaid fraud. The Dentist has been manipulating the system and putting braces on kids that don't need them for years, and the taxpayers of Texas are now funding his dream home. He will probably get away with it.
4. The weather in the DFW area has been exceptional: with lower temps, sudden fronts, and billowing clouds. It's clear, Mother Nature is being kind to us this year.
5. Only 30% of Americans own a passport. 60% of those use them for trips to Mexico and Canada only.
6. Justice Roberts restored my faith in humanity. The 33rd vote to repeal Obamacare, in spite of the SCOTUS ruling, continues to test my faith...
7. The president is far from perfect as he struggles to create jobs at a time in history where the money powers of the land are against Americas' financial success. His best strategy for reelection?
Mitt Romney.
8. Listening to Rick Perry speak about abolishing Medicare makes me ill. If it weren't for Medicare and Medicaid, my family would be in a world of hurt right now. I don't see how we could have made it through without some kind of program in place. Texas families are suffering under the yoke of this man.
9. If you're going to troll the Internet/my Facebook page to pick a fight, or bully me because I'm liberal, then you better be prepared to take some back from this Yella Dawg.
Cuz Mister, I give as good as I get...
10. I've heard rumblings of a Occupy Mexico City movement that's been a long time in the making. The Mexican people are proud, educated and have a work ethic like no other. They deserve better than what they've had with regards to their basic safety.
I predict big things in the near future for Mexico.
