Colbert’s rant on GOP talking about rape was pretty good. They should probably take his advice.

If you think it might be a good idea to approach the subject of rape in a public forum: Just, don’t. Ever. At all. And if you’re tempted, just ram a pencil in your eye until you rid yourself of the idea that caveman ideas about sexual assault have any place in the public discourse.

No, I noticed that too, in my largely Democratic town. All blue signs. Obviously, none but the dimmest will mistake blue Romney for a Democrat, but all blue signs could serve to muddy the waters for lesser-known candidates for lesser offices. I was wondering if Republican candidates were shipping blue signs to areas that leaned left and red signs to areas that leaned right.
Considering the length of time he’s had Parkinson’s, his advanced age, and his other health problems, I wonder if he’s lucid enough to be making these pronouncements at all. They just sound so much Franklin than Billy.
Let me get this straight: supernatural spirits create children? Oh, right. I recall reading that it was the Holy Spirit that impregnated the Virgin. So, Hitler, Dahmer and Pol Pot were gifts from God, too?
What about diabetes - is that a gift from the spirit world, too? That’s pretty hit-or-miss. How about cancer? Does God just flip that magic switch and you get cancer springing from your cells instead of a child? Or is disease from an eeeeeeeevil spirit?
Actually, it’s quite simple, psychologically. Red is an alarming color. Blue is a calming color. Look quickly at the following two sentences.
There is a spider on your arm.
There is a kitten on your lap.

These are the types of questions that theologians have pondered for thousands of years, and have proposed many hypotheses.
I’m just glad we have Republican politicians to sum them up for us, and present them in terms which, coincidentally, further their aims to make women second-class citizens who are punished for enjoying sexy times.
It was his regular show. He was on a tear that night. I think it was the same night he offered Trump a million dollars if he’d let Colbert dip his balls in his mouth.
No, it was on his show. He’s usually more standoffish in his comedy, but I thought his real feelings were coming through about the stupid things that have been said.
ETA; I didn’t realize **boytyeranma ** responded before I did.
“I think anything that advances, encourages monogamy is a good thing,” he said. “And frankly how could you be against people who want to get their affairs in order and have a loving household.”
Other members of the Republican party, and other Texas politicians, are freaking right the fuck out that one of their own would dare to [del]display basic decency and humanity[/del] go against party lines. From the article:
