' TX-25: I always love hearing tell of a cracklin' good conspiracy theory, but I feel like it's been a while since I've come across a new one. This gem, though, from Republican Wes Riddle, is golden:

Riddle, a retired Army officer from Gatesville, wants to impeach Obama for "giving away" seven Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea islands near Siberia to Russia.

(Yes, even though those islands were ceded in 1991 under President George H.W. Bush.)

Riddle isn't just some random teabagger'he's a random teabagger who forced his way into a runoff against former Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams in the TX-25 runoff. This is an open (and very red) seat, so whoever wins the GOP nod has an automatic path to Congress. Williams is heavily favored, but Riddle sure is a hoot, ain't he?
