Stupid Republican idea of the day

From the article:

“We’ve got young children,” said attendee Karen Ashby. “It’s good to learn this type of stuff before it happens.”

Wait… Is she for porn, or against it?

Kansas is trying to implement a bill that will leave judges open to impeachment if the disagree with the legislators. So if a bill is declared unconstitutional, the judges could be impeached for striking it down.

Okay, this is really weird.

Despite what they say, when I lived in Salt Lake City in the 1980s, you could easily buy Playboy (and even much more explicit magazines) pretty openly at the SLC newsstands. There were also three X-rated movie theaters in downtown Salt Lake, as well as a number of “stripper bars”

Except that, in SLC, they couldn’t strip down to less than a two-piece swimsuit. And the bar couldn’t serve anything stronger than 3.2 beer. Even so, they worked to shuit down these dens on not-quite-iniquity, closing one on the grounds of asbestos in the celing tiles.

They censored the stuff coming out of the public TV station broadcast from Brigham Young University , KBYU. (The feed from that stronghold of secularism, the University of Utah, KUED, was uncensored). They censored the BBC Sherlock Holmes. When Pioneer Memorial Theater put on Peter Schaffer’s play Amadeus, they had them clean up the language, which kind of ruins the point. (At the sme time, they showed the Milos Forman film unclipped in the movie theaters). They tried to pass a bill forbidding R-rated ---- R_RATED – movies on Cable channels. It failed.
Utah always has had a problem with anything they consider even a bit risqué. You had the feeling that the LDS-influenced legislature wasn’t letting you be an adult.

Didn’t they also wrap a loincloth around Rodin’s *St. John the Baptist *when it was displayed at BYU?

Although that was probably just being Christian and all.
Matthew 25:36

They’re going to have to impeach federal judges and the Supreme Court because that is a law that is going to be struck down so hard they’ll feel it landing in China.

The ridiculousness of the Kansas’ legislature’s battle to remove Kansas’ independent judiciary really deserves its own thread.

Once again, The Party of Constitution Love strikes.

Well, I suppose it could be . . . if wrist-action exacerbates carpal tunnel syndrome, there could be costs in workplace productivity . . . but, since everybody in the average workplace spends a lot more time having sex than typing, what difference does it make?

**“We do need to see this (pornography) like avian flu, cholera, diphtheria or polio,” said Elder Holland. “It needs to be eradicated.”

Hm. To control and eradicate those diseases, we rely on vaccination - exposure to a weaker variant of the disease.

… Maybe they can just get all the Mormons a subscription to Maxim?

I think I want your job :stuck_out_tongue:

Ugh…those haven’t been eradicated. What, no love for Smallpox or Rinderpest?

He’s probably just alarmed that “Mormon” is apparently a new porn category.

“Slip off that magic underwear for me, darling”, she softly whispered.

Ben Carson: I didn’t want to endorse Donald Trump, but he promised me a government job when he gets elected.

Actual title of article:“Ben Carson: I Didn’t Want To Endorse Trump, But He Promised Me A Position”
Rule 34!!!

Mine seems to be atypical :frowning: . . . but, I’m sure my characterization is largely accurate, based on many docudrama portrayals of workplace life I’ve seen online! :slight_smile:

Given that Trump ripped into Christie today while Christie was right next to him, I just want to wish Ben Carson every success in dealing with Trump.

Oh, that. Yes. Well, a reconversion to plumbing and/or cable repair isn’t yet out of the cards I suppose :smiley:

I guess Playboy would work these days too.

Ben Carson: “I wasn’t going to endorse Trump, but he offered me a job in his administration”

That would be a felony, though I expect the Orange one to deny it and nothing will come of it unless perhaps it was recorded (which is doubtful).
