Stupid Republican idea of the day

I wish they’d just do it, so we can point & laugh. They just pander to the militia gun-hoarding types who sit around dreaming of the coming revolution. Just do it already.

In other news, the audience of L’Osservatore Romano is assumed to be familiar with Roman Catholicism.

Uh, da fuq? What the hell? OK, turns out there was a posting about some guy in England getting into a fight in a bar. Pub. Whatever.

For a while there, I was thinking these folks were kinda weird.

Well, you won’t build a very large base if you restrict it to sophisticated simpletons.

State Senator Tom Corbin at a legislative dinner this week to discuss domestic violence legislation.

Yeah, I read this story. Take a look at the perfect example of a redneck Bubba. Look at his picture. LOOK at it! Anyone who looks like this guy (and there’s thousands) should simply be put away once the aw-shucks, shitforbrains smile starts to develop. How can you vote for a guy that looks as intelligent as Sloth from the Goonies?

The $2 billion projected shortfall for June 2015-June 2017 is a meaningless figure. Just as the supposed $3 billion shortfall when Walker came into office in 2011 was.

The current shortfall, the one that really matters, is $293,000,000. That has to be made up by June.

In part they’re going to do that by delaying repayment of $108,000,000 of debt due in May. The cost of that move will be $545,000. Not sure what the plan is for the remaining $195,000,000 shortfall.

Back in 2011 the shortfall going into June of that year was only $36,000,000 but it was used as an excuse to gut public employee unions in the state by passing Act 10.

I remember being surprised, pausing to try and remember when I had last heard “union thugs” spoken with a straight face. Reminded me of old newspaper editorial cartoons from my youth, where Big Labor was a chubby, balding lout of uncertain but swarthy ethnicity. Unshaven but not bearded. With the stub of a gross cigar sticking out his mouth.

Christ, what next, Boss Tweed? The Wobblies, maybe, or anarchists with bombs that look like bowling balls with fuses stuck in them?

Indeed is his physiognomy esthetically unimpressive, and unevocative of intellect, imagination or empathy. In fact, one might, if one were critically and uncharitably inclined, go so far as to say that he is a . . . substandard selection of flesh . . . something like that . . . what am I looking for . . .

Well, he’s a good ol’ boy…

Haggis. He has a head like a hairy haggis.

(Most likely also stuffed with awful.)

Yeah, Hairyhaggis, the great Old Master of special effects!

A matched set of Republican stupidity and refreshing Republican sanity:

No word yet on when Edmonds will be allowed to sit at the grownup table again, or whether the documentation setting that date is subject to amendment from the floor.

This little gem just in (2/21/2015): Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone doesn’t feel the love for Giuliani. Oh wait a minute, yes he does!

:smiley:

The [del]jack-booted thugs[/del] moderators told him to take it to the Pit!

North Dakota GOP prevents Muslim from offering opening prayer

I fully agree. I don’t want to be forced to listen to anyone who worships ANY god.

Tough shit:

Morons. Fucking morons, playing right into their hands. ISIS wants to portray this as a war between Islam and everybody else, that is their number one recruiting tool. This is wrong, and worse than wrong, it is stupid.

Don’t all monotheists worship the same God, just calling him something different?
