OK State Rep. Sally Kern: Homosexuality is "the biggest threat" to the U.S.

And from MOST of Texas, you can travel due north and end up in Oklahoma although I don’t know why you would want to. And, from anywhere in Oklahoma you can travel due south and end up in Texas, although I don’t know why you would want to.

I heard one about an Aggie whose girlfriend asked him to perform a lewd activity on her “where it’s dirty and nasty.”

So he drove her to Beaumont.

An Aggie seven course dinner? A six pack of Pearl and a possum.

Hey, it takes guts to stand up to the powerful echidna lobby.

Don’t try to pet the tough spine’d echidna.
If you don’t mind, he’ rather you did nae’.
Oh, can you imagine a scene more tranquil
Than an echnida op’ning up an anthill?

Hooray, hooray for platypi
For platypi,
For platypi,
Hooray, hooray for platypi,
That’s the song of Monotremal Fandom!

From here.

But, getting back to the OP – can the echidna ever be buggered at all?

So what was this thread about again?

Health care, if universal health care is the right way to go or is that just for socialists.

Toaster ovens.

I was just in a high school the other day and saw a sign for The Gay-Straight Alliance. All I could think was that if this alliance is successful, bisexuals are totally screwed…or something.

Isn’t that what they are aiming for? :smiley:

Isn’t there a way that we could use narrow minded conservatives to fuel our SUV’s at a cheaper rate than $100 a barrel of oil?

There was a good response to Kerns that Fark linked to yesterday. A letter from a high school student whose mother was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing and takes exception to the idea that gays are a bigger threat than terrorists.

link.

Some choice quotes:
“you told me that my mother’s killer was a better person than a group of people that are seeking safety and tolerance for themselves.”

“* wonder if there were fewer people like you around… my mom would be here to watch me graduate from high school this spring.”

Reminds of that Henry Rollins bit where he talks about how cool it would be to be bisexual. You could walk into a party, look around at every single person, and go, YEEEAAAAAAAAAH!

Which reminds me of a George Carlin bit: Can you imagine wanting to fuck everybody you meet?! Just think of the list of phone numbers you would accumulate!

We got lawyers here on the Boards, we could just ask!

I read the letter and this was the jarring note. I agree with the overall sentiment, but this is illogical. Local motorists are a much bigger threat to me than, say, an asshole homicidal maniac in Peru. That doesn’t mean the maniac is a better person than local motorists, it’s just that they may accidentally hit me when I’m riding my bike, but the maniac (evil as he may be) isn’t a threat to me because he’s in Peru.

If we were talking about a rational person, then saying she’s talking about statistical risk to health might be a reasonable assumption. It seems pretty clear, though, that Kern is talking about moral worth.

Its very odd how the pharises seem to have such a hard-on for gays.

Every time there is a major tragedy such as a natural disaster or terrorist attack they they pop up out of the wood work ranting and raving about how God is punishing us because of the gays. But homosexuality is not even mentioned in the 10 commandments. Theft is mentioned yet the pharises never rant about how the thieves are bringing the wrath of God down upon us.

What a bunch of anal orifices.

Oops.

I just looked up pharises in the dictionary and realised 2 things.

The first is I spelled it incorrectly. It should be Pharisees.

Secondly it has more than one meaning. The definitions that best fit my intent are:

Mmm, back to Sen. Kerns: she might wanna rethink the State song then, as it stems from a famed OK local son, playwright and poetLynn Riggs’“Green Grow the Lilacs”, which we know as Rodgers & Hammersteins “Oklahoma”.

Apparently he was, um, (whisper), gay:

So, Senator Kern, that wavin’ wheat might not smell as sweet now, huh?
