MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo. — Metal bars and Missouri state troopers separated the chief executive of Unified Equine LLC from a crowd of about 300 people who gathered at a sale barn to hear about the company’s plan to build a horse slaughtering plant in southwest Missouri.
....

Wallis, a Republican state representative from Recluse, Wyo., wants to build a processing facility that produces horse meat for human consumption, the first in the United States since 2007.

Wallis wants the new plant, which would processat least 200 horses a day, to be open by September.........

Then, if you recall, I posted the bit from "Crains NY Business" about Rushbo losing market share for a year before the slut-prostitute haranguing began.

He'll hang around. It's all he can do. But, the old potty mouth is damaged goods. Somebody will come up with some type of award for him in the next few years...
call it a "pity award." I'm sure a battery of Super A+ law firms couldn't tear down the pre nups the old lying bastard had her sign but something could interfere with it.

Anywaz, ask NormaB to describe the long term aspects of Pluto transits and what they can do for a public career. Tiger Woods is just finishing his transit from a few years ago, and he's a young man. Pluto transits remake the psyche, cause breakdowns while doing it and does so impersonally, doesn't care who or what you are. Rushbo is just at the very beginning of his Pluto transit. The long crash will be interesting to watch for some. I won't be around for all of it. It's going to stretch out for years.
Some humiliation would serve Pluto nicely if that's what it takes to revamp the dude's psyche. Again, the Lord of the Underworld of dark places, secret desires and practices doesn't care who or what you are.
Did I mention that Pluto intensifies everything it touches?

He was making less than $20,000 a year before he was elected to Congress.
Crawford really sucks and it is time for a change.

But I'm positive that Sissy Cherry's pretty much blown Puerto Rico for the GOP despite Romney's huge win there today.

And sort of bewildered at Cherry's stumbling incoherence.

Or, as I now automatically think of him, Sissy Cherry: his pornstar name, comprising a childhood pet's name and the street where he grew up.

Sissy Cherry. There are no accidents.

Turns out his Catholic High School doesn't think much of him and his policies.

“True Christians live the love of Jesus Christ. They don’t preach hate and discrimination,” said Kelly O’Connor, a 1996 Carmel graduate. “Rick Santorum has really built a career on discriminating against the LGBT community,” said Matt Muchowski, the protest organizer and a 2002 Carmel Catholic High School graduate. “That’s the thing that’s really rallying alumni against him. We’ve been shocked and embarrassed by it.”

We also found a treasure trove of great flagstone buried under a layer of landscape fabric and several inches of mulch. Still trying to figure why anyone would ever do such a thing. We will definitely be putting all that to much better use!

Also thought a lot about jazzy. One of the things I’ve missed most since the move is the view out the kitchen window of the ‘jazzy tree’ we planted there. So today we planted another ‘jazzy tree’. I can’t see this one from the kitchen, but it’s on a front corner of the yard where the whole neighborhood can enjoy along with us.

Sure hope everyone else had a fantastic weekend. Sounds like eLwood and sweetie had a wonderful time over at War Eagle.

Spare yourself the aggravation, though, and stay away from the Little Rock Airport/Clinton thread. There’s a whole lot of right wing CA-RAZY going on over there!
