I just found this book on Amazon: Blowing Smoke: Why the Right Keeps Serving Up Whack-Job Fantasies About the Plot to Euthanize Grandma, Outlaw Christmas, and Turn Junior into a Raging Homosexual.
If nothing else, BEST title of the year! 
The article goes on:
A question – why “States along the Mississippi River Basin”? Why do Arkansas and Alabama have Anti-Sorcery statutes?
I think they’[ve been watching True Blood and not realizing that it’s fiction. Although one of the comments says:
I may be being unjust to Republican’s here, but on my way home today I passed a couple of yard signs that declared “Prayer: America’s Only Hope”. (Massachusetts being a bastion of godless liberalism, you can see why I’m willing to put good money on these people’s political affiliation.)
Look, I’m not a militant atheist. At worst, I’m a grumpy agnostic. But “only” hope? So all those things that men of good will might try to improve their domestic well-being – education, sound laws formulated by reasoned debate between parties, hard work, scientific inquiry, personal sacrifice – you’re willing to throw all that on the trash heap and bet the bank on prayer? * That’s the approach you want to take and you think you’re competent to choose who helms the ship of state?* What ever happened to God helps those who help themselves?
So I’m of mixed feelings here. The message is defeatist and mildly offensive in its implication that this country is fundamentally and irredeemably broken. On the other hand, if you want to sit there praying instead of doing something more politically effective – well, knock yourselves out.
OMGWTF Obamacars!
The bill actually provides provision in some circumstances for “transportation costs”, meaning bus and subway fare. But hey! “Bus fare”, “free cars” - those are essentially the same thing, right?
Lot of places do that, give bus tokens or some such that cannot be traded for hookers and drugs. Since the locality usually pretty much owns the metro transit, its close to zero cost.
They generally want to be stingy about even bus fare, though. I mean, they want people to work…but they don’t want to make it possible for them to GET to work.
Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. Now, that’s maybe not actually a stupid, as a career move for a rightarded trog Republican, maybe that’s smart. And we don’t really have a Eeeeevil Republican Idea of the Day. So this will have to do.
Link, as if you didn’t already believe me…
Nah, it fits Stupid just fine. It might have been a serious threat back when DOMA was passed, but the country’s changed since 1996. I don’t think they’d get that 3/4 of the states requirement today. And they won’t get the Senate, either.
I’m* trying* to get my wife pregnant, but I keep missing and hitting the back of some guys’ throat.
3/4 of the states would be 37. Given that same-sex marriage is now legal or soon to be in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Maine, Washington, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware, Minnesota, and California, you’d actually need the votes of all states that haven’t already legalized SSM, including quite a few states with civil unions. Not a chance in hell.
No, but they should try. I’d love a nice wedge issue that has no chance in hell of succeeding.
That literally made me laugh out loud.
Bravo.
‘Some women may have little beards’: Maine Gov. Paul LePage’s greatest hits
Estrogen causes beards? I’m having trouble computing this. Is this guy really so ignorant that he doesn’t know the difference between estrogen and testosterone?
And boy, howdy, I bet a few women could educate him on how they feel about his “worst case little beards”.
I guess it’s a sign of progress this guy isn’t afraid of being emasculated by estrogens in his food and drinking water?
But I would think even the most sensitive new age guy would still be concerned about fertility. His own and his woman’s. So yeah, that is one stupid man.
And not to offend hirsute women…but I’m not thinking men would like it if their girlfriends and wives started walking around with furry faces.
Hell, if you’re gonna be horny for women with Freddy Mercury mustaches you might just as well give up and have the surgery. Or whatever they do, I don’t fucking know…
Is that what Michele Bachmann is to Marcus?
