Why, whatever do you mean? I am but an innocent lamb, frolicking and gambling amongst the daffodils…

Good, then you won’t be spreading any malicious scandals about the shepherds and their alleged taste for mutton. Do we understand each other, Lambchops?

Didn’t Paul write an epistil about that?

Oh, Paul the Apostle
Possessed an Epistle
So truly colossal
It made the girls whistle!

It wasn’t just Paul though, it was Poll’en God who wrote them.

It’s Monday so all of the crazy has been piling up over the weekend:

Ben Carson: “Let’s compromise on gay marriage. Gay people can’t get married and can’t call opponents bigots.”

GOP House candidate: “Islam is not a religion, therefore it isn’t protected under the First Amendment.”

Senator Ron Johnson: “It costs too much to fund the VA.”

I like the variety of stupidity that demonstrates, from hateful stupidity, to ignorant stupidity, ending at reckless stupidity. And people say the GOP isn’t a big tent, pshh

Maybe there’s a way around this “gay marriage” issue:

Invalidate heterosexual marriage.

It’s Hostile Takeover Time - by Bobby (I thought you were discarded) Jindal.

Let’s not forget [please forget] Bobby Jindal speaking to the Faith and Freedom Coalition over the weekend - Ralph Reed as Christian Leader.

Low points - talks about Democratic (Obama) wars against religions and educations. See any of the above 15,000 posts about Republican/Teaparty assaults on education (BIBLE ONLY!!! etc…); or attacks against Islam, Satanists, and others.

Attempts to call Obama “…most radically, extremely liberal, ideological president of our entire lifetime …”. I’m actually thinking Ron Reagan and far more liberal. or “…the most incompetent president of the United States of America in the history of our lifetimes”. Doesn’t he remember Bush II?

The guy’s no dummy, Rhodes Scholar, but his words and past actions - screw it - just another politician.

GOP House candidate: “Islam is not a religion, therefore it isn’t protected under the First Amendment.”

From that article:

“Although Islam has a religious component, it is much more than a simple religious ideology,” he wrote. “It is a complete geo-political structure and, as such, does not deserve First Amendment protection.”

Hice, a Baptist minister and talk-radio host, . . .

He’s a Baptist. He probably believes the same about Catholics.

[Kobal2]

Y’know, some might consider the GOP is also " a geo-political system that has governmental, financial, military, legal and religious components".

I’m just sayin’.

Pennsylvania (Gov. Tom Corbett – R) health officials ordered to ignore fracking-related health complaints.

According to two former workers with the state Health Department, who are now retired, employees who received phone calls from residents concerned about health risks were ordered to ignore them:

“There was a list of buzzwords we had gotten,” [Tammi Stuck, who retired from the Department of Health two years ago] said. “There were some obvious ones like fracking, gas, soil contamination. There were probably 15 to 20 words and short phrases that were on this list. If anybody from the public called in and that was part of the conversation, we were not allowed to talk to them.”

<snip>

Marshall Deasy, who retired last June after putting in 20 years of service at the Bureau of Epidemiology in Harrisburg, said that in his office, talking about natural gas development was considered “taboo.”

In other words, the agency appears to be treating the idea that fracking could cause health problems like some sort of crazy conspiracy theory — a categorization that’s kind of hard to justify, considering the peer-reviewed research linking air and water pollution from oil and gas drilling to a bevy of health concerns. In Dallas, a jury recently awarded a family $3 million for damage caused by drilling near their property, including “physical pain and suffering.”

Arizona state Schools Superintendent: “We all need to stomp out balkanization. No spanish radio stations, no spanish billboards, no spanish tv stations, no spanish newspapers," he wrote roughly a month after he was elected. "This is America, speak English.”

He posts these comments from his state owned computer inside his state office.

I love, on top of the brownophobia, how all of his examples are private enterprises, so he’s essentially demanding more government interference in citizens’ lives.
