Since most of y’all don’t follow my Twitter feed, I thought I’d share this one, which I put out while cooking out on the deck yesterday:
Governor says of GOP, “Where’s MY army?” She thinks she’s the Khaleesi… “Haley’s hard line could prove costly” http://t.co/TeSOOe5A3P

How else to describe a person who thinks it’s all about her, who stands up at a party convention to say most Republican officeholders are not real Republicans because they don’t do her bidding in all things?
“Where’s my army?” Wow. She really thinks the GOP is supposed to be her army. Like Lincoln and the others started this thing in the 1850s just so that Nikki could have an entourage.
Of course, now that she and her dragons can boast of having brought Volvo to Westeros, who’s complaining, right?
Aw, come on, y’all — can’t we get a thread going on the Khaleesi? We could make it about Hillary instead of Nikki, if you prefer.
Just, no spoilers, OK?
Right now, I’m in the middle of Season 3.
Those who care about Game of Thrones don’t generally care for S.C. politics. One is about collection of randy, incestuous, duplicitous, neer-do-wells… and the other is a collection of fantasy books.
“… randy, incestuous, duplicitous, neer-do-wells…”
Them’s queer words for a Paul-bot.
Bunyan or Anka?
Caskey’s “Paul” Rankings:
1. The Apostle
2. McCartney
3. Revere
4. Newman
5. Bryant
Had to Google Bryant. There’s an agent at Exit Realty named Paul Bryant.
Newman is number one. Shaffer is next….
In response to being left off Bryan’s list, Artie Fufkin says, “Do me a favor. Just kick my ass, okay?”
Can we go with fictional characters? If so, I’d replace “Bear” Bryant with Paulie Walnuts.
and Paul Gauguin
He’s a good ‘un. Can’t say much for his personal life, but that’s kind of not surprising with famous artists, right?
Googling him to indulge in looking at some of his work, I ran across the fact that he was a failed tarpaulin salesman. Hey, maybe if he’d tried PAINTING the tarps, he could have made some money…
In which case maybe he would have stayed with his wife and five kids, instead of running off to Paris to paint. Yeah, we’d be poorer by some great paintings, but I could make that sacrifice…
