I run across a lot of things I’d love to write about, but working 40+ a week at a “real” job means I have limited time. Sometimes (like this morning, f’rinstance) I’m tired and I don’t want to think. That being the case, I thought I’d share a few things I found and have something to say about.
Fewer than 1/4th of Republicans Support Electing More Women to Congress. Because when you think the world is (and by rights should be) the personal property of wealthy White Conservative Christian males, you no doubt believe women need to remember their place. Something about being barefoot and pregnant, I think.
Election 2013 Loose Ends: America Elects A Whig And A Klingon. Because…well, why the Hell not?
Texas school tosses 6th grader’s breakfast in trash after he can’t pay 30 cents. I’m not certain what could reasonably said about something so petty, small-minded, and mean-spirited…except that I hope the person who made the decision has a reserved parking space waiting for them in Hell.
Top Texas Republican Slams Her Party’s Focus On Legislating Women ‘South Of The Waistline’. The mystery is why Susan Combs is still a Republican. Yes, I suppose denial really IS more than a river in Egypt, eh?
Fischer’s Fantasies: Democrats Might Impeach Obama In Order To Win Re-Election In 2014. Sure…and monkeys could fly out of my butt.
Florida House Panel Rejects Stand Your Ground Repeal, Wants To Expand It Instead. Evidently, they’d like to alter the law to allow White folks to open fire if African-Americans so much as look at them funny.
Exxon’s Fine For Massive Tar Sands Spill Is A Mere 1/3000th Of Its Third-Quarter Profits. How are they supposed to create all those jobs if they’re paying fines?
Lies, Nonsense and Totally Off-the-Wall Behavior — 10 Doozies from the Nutty Right Wing This Week. It’s all about marketing…or as my daddy used to say, “If you can convince them with substance, bamboozle them with bullshit.”
Larry Pratt: ‘Probably What Killed’ Trayvon Martin Was His ‘Broken Family’. Uh, no…if memory serves, what killed young Trayvon was George Zimmerman pulling the trigger of his pistol. Pratt is just another insensitive Far Right jackass advocating for guns, guns, and more guns.
GOP Congressman Still Thinks Saddam Hussein Bought Uranium From Niger: Because if there’s one thing Steve King can do, it’s bring the stupid…truly awe-inspiring Louie Gohmert stupid.
