The subhead to that story looks odd,
The author of the offending Facebook post has signed, the Alamosa GOP said.
I think they might be missing some letters in there.
Inadvertent honesty will get you every time.
Maybe he’s deaf?
They’re conservative, not stupid.
He’s signed because this is only his first offense. The next time he screws up like this, he’ll resign.
Speaking of subheadings, Sunday’s Courier Journal (Louisville, Kentucky), has an all-time favorite regarding governor Matt Bevin:
Headline: Bevin preparing for higher office?
Subheading: Everyone watching governor gain fame in national politics; no one knows why
Your room. Now. I want you to sit there until I come and get you and think about what you’ve done, young man.
Yeah, that was my first thought, as well. I teach freshman comp, and I see this sort of thing all the time – the student comes up with a word or phrase that is almost, but not quite, the one he or she wants, and changes the meaning and implications of the sentence in really unfortunate ways.
Of course, I would hope anyone running the official Twitter account of a political organization would be a better writer than a college freshman.
I don’t know why. They don’t even think as well as a college freshman after an epic weekend bender they haven’t sobered up from yet.
Republican state legislator goes ballistic on the floor of the Oklahoma legislature after Oklahoma’s teachers go on strike, pledging not to support any more funding for schools. Oklahoma schools are only open four days a week because of underfunding.
Why not just close all the schools? Think how much money that would save. And it would shut those uppity teachers down for good, too. Win-win.
Which is interesting, since Article 11 of the Oklahoma State Constitution says “which shall be used for the maintenance of the common schools in the State. The principal shall be deemed a trust fund held by the State, and shall forever remain inviolate.” talking about the schools fund.
And since legislators take an oath to uphold the state constitution, does this announcement constitute a violation of that oath?
I’m sure a thread will turn up in CS discussing it as a movie, and I’m not starting a discussion of the content, just sharing a misgiving about the fact of the movie, and especially the timing. Also, I didn’t know where else to post this…
Who else wants to bet that this film will open the floodgates (as it were) on a whole new round of, *“See? The Dems are waaay worse than the Pubs! After all, thump never actually KILLED anyone.” *
Point them toward the 15 dead coal miners between taking office and 27 January 2018, nearly double the death toll from 2016.
So, sounds like 15 new jobs opened up. MAGA!
Not personally. That we know of.
He’s certainly killed my belief in the concept of “impossibility.”
Following up a previous post, Tennessee Republicans continue to stand behind their base voters:
Ted Cruz refuses to take DNA test to prove he’s human. Out of context? Perhaps, but still funny.
As voters go, they are the basest.
