Gyrate brought this one up a couple of days ago, but your link has a time-traveling pony doing calculus, which I think really underscores the point well.
Apparently we have been so careful about staying out of the sun to avoid getting skin cancer that many people nowadays aren’t getting enough Vitamin D, which is stimulated by direct sunlight. You should go for a walk at lunch time.
Well, no. That would kill jobs.
It would also be misleading to label GMO “food.” 
That’s just how they gauge intelligence in Kansas; they go ahead and assume whoever has the fewest teeth must be the smartest.
It’s true, my wife’s father married her. He married me too. He married both of us! And he calls himself a minister!
So you’re your own grandpa?
Virginia Republican says pregnant women are “hosts,” even if some people “refer to them as mothers”.
So, a fetus is a parasite? Better kill it before it gets any bigger!
People still bother to fact-check Michele Bachmann to make sure she’s talking out of her ass? How quaint. I wonder if it’s like when they do studies to see if banging a brick against your head is bad, on the remote off chance the answer is counter intuitive, like banging the brick loosens plaque in your teeth or Michele Bachmann isn’t 100 percent wrong.
I guess the Kansas legislature doesn’t care if they get made stupid by naturally-occuring fluoride in their water, only if it’s artificially added.
My cynicism exploded on the story of the Arizona legislator who wants to take back his vote on the anti-gay bill. I think he just wants to be able to tell his constituents that he voted for it, without having the state suffer the consequences, such as boycotts and lawsuits.
:smack: for Melvin.
It is amusing that there are billboards in Phoenix for a local contractor company that tells customers to not hire clueless fellows that only will make a mess, their slogan: “Don’t hire a Melvin!” This guy is planing to run for governor. I will have to work to prevent his hiring.
And one has to go 
for Wonkette’s “Al Gebra” line.
She would’ve gone with John Paul I, but he didn’t stick around long enough to take. The rest, well, they all have that unfortunate non-Italianness that keeps them from being REAL popes.
Alabama, tired of Arizona trying to steal its thunder, is at it again, although I’m not sure which part of this actually contains the most Stupid.
So this panel 1) approved a bill REQUIRING prayer in public schools, and 2) did it despite a majority of panel members voting against it.
So I guess the Stupid resides in Rep. MClurkin, who doesn’t understand that two is less than three, nor that this bill is so blatantly unconstitutional that even Clarence Thomas might rule against it.
What’s that, Rep. McClurkin? You’re a corrupt moron who should be removed from office immediately? I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard you say. Did anyone else hear that? It’s definitely what I heard.
Oh and there’s the other bill mentioned in the article which makes legal a bunch of stuff that’s already legal, which is also kind of dumb.
I think it’s genius.
Boy, sure a good thing that every school kid in Alabama is a Christian! Even better, they are all congregants of Christian denominations that hold identical views on the nature of prayer, and the proper conduct thereof.
Naturally, I would prefer a Unitarian version, one that starts with “To Whomsoever it may concern…” I have every confidence that the Baptist congregations will embrace the innovation with enthusiasm and joy!
Me? Tequila and bongwater, why do you ask?
We didn’t have daily prayers in school. (A Texas semi-rural district belonging to a Sundown community in which we did not live. Graduated in '66–do the math.) Or Bible reading. Just the Pledgallegience & “My Country 'Tis of Thee.”
But we had the occasional “invocation” at special events–usually given by Brother Whatever from one of the local Fundamentalist Establishments. I wondered why the tacked an extra bit on to the “Our Father.” And guessed that a “Hail Mary” would flip them all out. It’s all more diverse now…
Oh, this is the Stupid Republican thread. It’s become impossible to watch local news without an emesis basin. Because of all the ads for Republicans acting allMore Batshit Than Thou.…
What, you quit listening before she got into her extensive personal reminiscences on whether rams or billy goats are a better lay? That was the best part!
Anyhoo, moving up to the larger stage, we have Bobby Jindal’s loud fart in church, followed up by responding to the stinkeye glares with a pelvic thrust and crotch grab.
Let’s not go nuts.
It’s so cute whenever a GOP Presidential wannabee does his little “Lookit me, I’m insulting Obama!” act in order to signal his intention to run. Incredibly asinine and immature, but cute.
