Rangers Notch Another Comeback Win. Josh Hamilton sawed down a redwood tree with a butter knife, whittled it into a regulation bat, then hit a walkoff single. The key to the game is that someone gave me a ticket at the last-minute. You’re welcome.
U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess Wants to Impeach Obama. The Lewisville Republican told a Tarrant County Tea Party group that would “tie things up.”
The Water is Back on in Kemp. The small town in Kaufman County has water again after three days without. Now they are praying for rain. Good luck, I guess, but I think the rain dance Tim and I have been doing may prove more effective.
8-Year-Old Saves Toddler From Drowning. His name is Jesus Lara, and he’s already better than I’ll ever be. Which isn’t tough, but still.

3) As soon as Jesus attends to the thousands of children dying from thirst in the Horn of Africa, he’ll get right on that.
But wait! Most of the residents of northeastern Africa aren’t Christians. Yay! Looks like Kemp, Texas, just got bumped up to first-class seats!
Our God is an awesome God. Theirs? Sadist.
You forgot the part where Josh dipped the bat in unicorn blood.
The teabaggers are going to tie things up more than almost causing us to default and causing a downgrade? Awesome.
And impeach him for what? And impeachment is not the same thing as removal from office which is what I believe he was going for.
Do the elected teabaggers ever know anything about what they are talking about?
John M,
To be fair, the teabaggers did not singlehandedly cause the downgrade.
To be unfair, they want to impeach him fr being black.
I dunno about teabaggers, as Jay Cost points out they can be anything you want them to be anyway so they could be hiding right there between John M’s comment and Daniel’s and no one would suspect a thing, but not only should Republicans, at least the bigger business Republicans not want to see Obama impeached, they might even be smarter not even contesting him in 2012. Gee, we can’t even get a candidate together this time around, dude, imagine that. You just go ahead. We’ll be there for sure in 2016 though. You betcha. No, you just go ahead, this one’s on us.
In the meantime, 9% employment as far as the eye can see, meaning no one even needs to hire the unemployed, just steal away the best employees from competitors, because productivity over the last decade has made more bodies unnecessary anyway. Health care can now be dumped on the government too, so there’s that savings as well. Never before have there been as many alternate markets to unemployed domestic ones to sell into, especially BRIC, and as many ways to avoid paying taxes on those overseas earnings. Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner have just shown that the next benefit they’ll offer us, the only thing they have left now, really, is a joint tour involving them providing personal service with their tongues in the hopes of squeezing out at least something resembling results. And, of course, as anyone in business already knows, there’s no one more easily bought politically and no one more loyal to those who buy him once the change is in the campaign till than Barack Obama, who’s going to be pivoting to create those jobs any day now once vacation is over.
Yeah, them teabaggers, screwing up the good deal for everybody. If we could only figure out who they are and how they wield such power we could get rid of them, keep ‘em from rocking the boat. I just hope they aren’t in league with the devil, but I’m afraid they might all work for DART, and even God’s afraid to talk back to DART. But until we figure them out, I think we’re all agreed, Democrat and Republican alike, that Obama 2012 is the way to go for all of us.

Burgess reminds me of Mr. Haney from “Green Acres.”
“Voters in Wisconsin recalled two of the six Republican State Senators in Tuesday’s recall elections, which left the Democrats one seat short of a majority in the Senate. As Rachel Weiner reported…”
Sounds like they impeachyminted ‘em.
Someone should tell Mr. Haney that impeaching the President just because you don’t like him is SO 90s.
