The advantage to teflon will be when we start using metal utensil and it gets scraped off. We just need enough of the right people using metal utensils with gusto and persistence.
In smaller news, a PA lawmaker has proposed removing a candidate’s residency from ballots. I don’t see any issues with people being parachuted in to run for office! /s
Can’t decide if it’s stupid or the next cunning plan, though.
Or maybe it’s a good idea, on second thought.
Just ran across this:
I am not sure how it would not be a bad thing. Voters get a hurricane of infomation about candidates during campaign season. At least residency is (mostly) not bullshit.
It’s like that old joke about why rain dances always work. I, for one, am doing my part. I will continue with my “thoughts and prayers” for his ill health and demise until the former brings on the latter.
Oklahoma, no stranger to stupid republicans, has gifted us this stable genius’s idea. (The bolding is mine.)
He’s one of the pushers for this stupidity, too. (Same link and still my bolding.)
Serious question: Is there really an influx of liberal teachers into Oklahoma?
Semi-serious answer: Anything left of batshit Republican is liberal.
Oohh-klahoma, where the wind goes sweeping through the brain…
When I was a little tyke, my dad had a joke my brothers and I always found funny even though we were the butts of the joke. He’d look into my left ear, hold his hand near my right ear and extend three fingers. Then he’d say, “Wow. I see three fingers!”
Of course that’s not a joke in Oklahoma nowadays. It’s the truth.
This bible*-thumping ball of religious hate is ok with the naked chicks, tho.
not a bad quote:
a-ha she said NIPPLES!!!
*trump-approved, that is.

I’m actually rather surprised by that. Given how strongly anti-LGBTQ he is, I’d have been sure that he’d prefer naked men.
…because there’s no way these teachers could be smart enough to figure out which answers are the obviously “correct” ones, and just lie on the damn test.
I’d love to see a copy of this test, if it ever sees the light of day, just to see how “clever” they try to be.
I read that as “bible-humping” and, guess what, it changes the meaning not a whit.
Probably rather like this 1950s era Louisiana literacy test. This was a timed ten-minute test.
Link results in an error…
n/m Youtube is being obstinate
Nuts. You can google Louisiana literacy test. It was the top result in my try.
Let’s try this one, but it’s fuzzier.
The point was, the questions were vague and open to interpretation. For example question 10 is
In the first circle below write the last letter of the first word beginning with “L.”
Does it mean the first word of that sentence or the first word on the page? You can bet whichever way the test taker answers the examiner will rule it’s wrong, and only one wrong answer fails the test.
The Louisiana Literacy Test was designed so that the test-takers would pass or fail simply at the discretion of the registrar who administered the test. The questions were so imprecisely written that the examiner could decree almost any answer correct or incorrect, at his whim. The reality was that registrants the county commissioners wanted to prevent from voting – primarily black applicants, but also certain lower-class whites in disfavor with county officials – were destined to fail the test regardless of the answers they gave.
It’s like that new game show, Homonym.
Another poorly written question, “In the space below draw three circles, one inside (engulfed by) the other.” One inside the other, except that there are supposed to be three circles?
“Draw a line around the shortest word in this line.” A line around a word? Meaning make a box enclosing the word? Would circling the word be acceptable?
Reminds me of the favorite blonde joke of a friend (blonde) of mine: she’d wave her hands by her ears like she was fanning them and ask why does the blonde do this?
Answer: refueling.
The last question:
“30. Draw five circles that one common inter-locking part.”
Sounds like the literacy test was written by an illiterate person.
