The initiative, initially called “Let’s turn y’all into gay commie atheists !” will be renamed “Just do it, comrades” following the Senate decision, prompting a sponsorship endorsement from Nike. No details were given regarding the specifics of glue sharing arrangements in effect during the course of this new program. ---

You guys are a hoot. Ready for this one? [Louisiana v. Roe](http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/04/louisiana-v-roe) _“Anti-abortion lawmakers in state legislatures around the country have already drawn national attention—and outrage—for pushing bills that would drastically limit access to abortions. But in Louisiana, one “unapologetically pro-life” lawmaker wants to go even further. State Rep. John LaBruzzo, a Republican from Metairie, has introduced a bill that would ban all abortions in his state—with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother—and charge women who seek abortions and the doctors who perform those abortions with “feticide.””_ ---

Yes, but that’s because hardline Muslims are an horribly backwards international special interests group bent on imposing their law to non-believers and oppressing women, based on ridiculous and regressive stone age myths, all under the banner of the Crescent.

Or outside the “classrooms” in the traditional way, like back behind the bike sheds. ---

And here’s a good one: **Gun Rights Come From God, Not Constitution, Says Gingrich** [Cite](http://www.alan.com/2011/04/29/gun-rights-come-from-god-not-constitution-says-gingrich/). There are guns in the Bible? In the Book of Colt, maybe? Or is that Uzi, chapter 2, verse 7? Luger 13:56? Give me a break… (I’m pretty sure Jesus mentions divorce once or twice, but Newty conveniently overlooked that little nugget). And, hey! God gave us slavery, too! It’s definitely in the Bible, but somehow that’s no longer in the Constitution. How very ungodly of us. :rolleyes: Do people really listen to this buttclown? ---

Michelle Bachmann, perhaps feeling overshadowed by Teh Donald, used a speech before New Hampshire Republicans to liken tax policy to . . .

It is this disenfranchisement that I think we have to answer to.” (I just had an epiphany: if you use Roman numerals and squint a lot, you can turn “IRS” into “SS.” Coincidence?) ---
