Stupid Republican idea of the day

What about R&D for dingo food?

“There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors," says Shortey.

These new and improved green crackers are delicious!

I hesitate, but this guy might have won the thread…

They’ll take my Embry-Os cereal over my dead body!

Hi ho, hi ho

Dead baby jokes for evil folks
Hi ho, hi ho…

So would miscarried (free range) fetuses still be allowed in our food under this law?

What about anchor babies? My understanding is we want to get rid of them by any means necessary.

Mayor of East Haven, Connecticut has a novel approach to relations with the Latino community:

East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. was being interviewed by a WPIX television reporter on Tuesday about the arrest of four police officers for excessive force and conspiracy against Latinos when he was asked, “What are you doing for the Latino community today?”

“I might have tacos when I go home,” the mayor answered.

His Facebook pagegives his political affiliation as Republican.

Too exotic. We don’t want that much flavor.

Newt Gingrich promises that America will establish a permanent moon base by the end of his presidency.

I applaud Newt for being a futurist, but it seems a bit incongruous to me to say “The government is spending too much money and we need to cut taxes” out one side of your mouth, and propose what would probably be the most expensive government project in American history out the other.

Once they cut taxes to zero the government revenue will skyrocket.

Maybe Newt’s plan is to have a giant “laser” installed up there, turning the Moon into a “death star” that’ll let him blackmail the U.N. for A MILLION DOLLARS to keep the economy afloat.
Romney can be Number Two.

But that’s why he has to end welfare! Don’t you understand?!!

[Boyo_Jim]

He can combine the projects and ship welfare recipients to the moon.

[Gyrate]

Fly them to the moon? And let them play among the stars on the taxpayer’s dime? I don’t think so!

It’s like Ron Paul bemoaning the fact that we fought the Civil War instead of paying off the slave owners to end slavery. Doesn’t he realize how high taxes would have needed to be raised in order to accomplish that? It would have taken massive government involvement just to sort out the bribes and do something with the freed slaves.

Why would you go and associate Newt Gingrich and *Bayonetta *in my mind ? Now I’m picturing Newt Gingrich, spread eagle in a catsuit made of his sentient hair. That’s just not right, and you’re a meanie.

The Civil War didn’t end slavery. The 13th Amendment did. From a legal perspective, we should have compensated slaveowners for the loss of their property, since the constitution specifically provided for their right to own people.

I’m sure if the slave owners gathered up all the metal the north threw at them, there would be enough to pay for the slaves plus enough left over for reparation bracelets for the negros.
