A data point for the hypothesis that many of our legislators don’t actually understand what they’re voting on. Which is totally consistent with my experiences with democracy. ---

What I’m reading around the intertubes suggests that this is a stunt by the Tucker “Douchebag” Carlson bunch to try and keep him somehow relevent. She is already on record talking about her migraines, and whether she takes a bunch of drugs to help that doesn’t bother me, its what she thinks when she’s stone cold sober that worries me. And while we’re about it, local sourcess tell me that her record as a foster parent is pretty good. You get way too much Jesus with your macaroni and cheese, but you _get_ the macaroni and cheese. But for President, I’d sooner vote for the Hypnotoad. ---

I’m not sure there was a lot of coverage of Cindy McCain’s or Todd Palin’s personal beliefs during the last campaign. On this subject, I would like to add that she has straight up said that women should be submissive to their husbands. She also said that her husband told her to study tax law and that was the only reason she did so. If her career decisions are also to be viewed from the light of submission to her husband, than his opinions matter a great deal. His opinions would actually matter more than hers. ---

So, the way this works, if I want a flat screen tv, a beer, a sammich and a blow job, she smiles and says “Yes, dear”? Not sayin’ this is a good thing, necessarily, but maybe we should, you know, think it over for a while. ---
