A new requirement enacted in North Dakota mandates that the health education provided in the state include information on the benefits of abstinence “until and within marriage.”
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R, of course!) said “The fact of the matter is, I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South,” while referring to a gay marriage initiative, causing much criticism.
Hope next week is better.
The Republican class war continues in Wisconsin, and has spread to Indiana and Maine.
The US has wasted tens of billions of dollars on contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, we must cut money from the poors, not these rich companies!
US Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) laughed along with the crowd when a supporter asked him when someone was going to shoot President Obama. I’m sure he laughed peacefully at the peaceful questioner who only wants Obama to be shot with a camera, and peacefully reported him to the secret service.
Fucking insane Georgia Republican state rep. Bobby Franklin wants to make miscarriages illegal. Every time a miscarriage happens, there will be a criminal investigation and the woman must prove she didn’t do it herself. Or she gets the death penalty. Culture of life, bitches! Considering like 1/3 of all pregnancies end in miscarriages (many without the woman even knowing), invest your money in death penalty chemicals!
I guess Georgia is sick of Arizona being the worst state in the Union…
South Dakota was going to make it legal to kill abortion doctors, but instead have decide to just make women who want to have abortions have “counseling”
(3) Provide the pregnant mother with the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pregnancy help centers that are registered with the South Dakota Department of Health pursuant to this Act, and provide her with written instructions that set forth the following:
(a) That prior to the day of any scheduled abortion the pregnant mother must have a consultation at a pregnancy help center at which the pregnancy help center shall inform her about what education, counseling, and other assistance is available to help the pregnant mother keep and care for her child, and have a private interview to discuss her circumstances that may subject her decision to coercion;
(b) That prior to signing a consent to an abortion, the physician shall first obtain from the pregnant mother, a written statement that she obtained a consultation with a pregnancy help center, which sets forth the name and address of the pregnancy help center, the date and time of the consultation, and the name of the counselor at the pregnancy help center with whom she consulted;
Why these are bad.
What South Dakota already requires women who want abortions to do:
(a) The name of the physician who will perform the abortion;
(b) That the abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being;
(c) That the pregnant woman has an existing relationship with that unborn human being and that the relationship enjoys protection under the United States Constitution and under the laws of South Dakota;
(d) That by having an abortion, her existing relationship and her existing constitutional rights with regards to that relationship will be terminated;
(e) A description of all known medical risks of the procedure and statistically significant risk factors to which the pregnant woman would be subjected, including:
(i) Depression and related psychological distress;
(ii) Increased risk of suicide ideation and suicide;
(iii) A statement setting forth an accurate rate of deaths due to abortions, including all deaths in which the abortion procedure was a substantial contributing factor;
(iv) All other known medical risks to the physical health of the woman, including the risk of infection, hemorrhage, danger to subsequent pregnancies, and infertility;
(f) The probable gestational age of the unborn child at the time the abortion is to be performed, and a scientifically accurate statement describing the development of the unborn child at that age; and
(g) The statistically significant medical risks associated with carrying her child to term compared to undergoing an induced abortion.
Florida Senate teabag candidates are hiring assistants for over $100K/year:
But to help them do it they hired 61 assistants, each making more than a $100,000 a year. Salaries in the speaker’s office rose one and a half percent.
Cannon’s top aide, Matthew Bahl, makes $146,000 a year; that’s more than three-and-a-half times the speaker’s salary. Haridopolos’ top aide, Stephen MacNamara, makes more than $175,000, or more than four times the Senate president’s salary.
Fiscal Responsibility!
Happy Veteran’s Day!
The Google Logo for today is making dumb people dumber:
Anyone take a look at google’s salute to Veteran’s Day?

crescent=Muslim, for those of you who don’t know.
The G has always looked to me a little bit communist, like a hammer and sickle.

You can’t spell Gun without G! Guns are communist!
If it IS a secret signal to communists, take note that Old Glory is way ON TOP of the crescent, and the sun is shining in approval.
As I mentioned on another thread, at least they showed the flag on Veteran’s day and did not commemorate some obscure event or birthday.

Yes, and while it’s fine for others to disagree, there is a tone from some of, “you are crazy, stop talking about this, blah blah blah”. I don’t like that at all.

Teabaggers are dumb. Case #1 – Teabaggers protest a local community’s trash policies as “communist”
Case #2 – Teabaggers protest safe drinking water laws. Hope you like that teabag cancer!
Wall Street F’s over America again.
Criminal and new Florida governor Rick Scott is breaking the law again.
That catfood commission report is dumb and dumb and dumb. Check out dm’s two part analysis here and here.

I wanted to send you my thoughts about the Obama speech to kids …
“In the year since I issued a prepared statement regarding President Obama speaking to the Nation’s school children, I have learned a great deal about the party I so deeply loved and served. Unfortunately, I found that many within the GOP have racist views and I apologize to the President for my opposition to his speech last year and my efforts to placate the extremists who dominate our Party today. My children and I look forward to the President’s speech.”Jim Greer
The Texas Republican Party has released their new 25-page manifesto where they have gone more crazy than usual. It’s time to mess with Texas.
We recommend a national sales tax (which does not include a Value Added Tax) to replace all other Federal taxes once the I.R.S. is abolished and the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is repealed. However, until such time that the income tax is abolished, we support deductions for private and home schooling, home mortgages, and sales taxes.
We believe the Minimum Wage Law should be repealed.
We urge the Texas legislature in its next biennial session to enact legislation requiring a sonogram be performed and offered as part of the consent process to each mother seeking an elective abortion.
We oppose the legalization of sodomy.
We oppose the implementation of one world currency.
See a Census Worker not getting threatened? It is unusual.
Mosque fun in Tennessee… – Tracey Steven, who also attended, said, “Our country was founded through the founding fathers — through the true God, the Father and Jesus Christ.”
Some lady from Northern Exposure is crazy.
Teabaggers are declaring Florida Tea Party candidates as plants, further proving they are nothing but the knuckle-dragging wing of the GOP

Those heat waves are part of the reason for the dust bowl. We need more cloud people in comics.
Turncoat Rep. Parker Griffith got his butt beat in the Republican Primary last night. In the words of Baby Animal from Muppet Babies: Go bye-bye!
Former Florida GOP chair Jim Greer has been arrested and is charged with six felony counts of fraud, theft, and money laundering due to a shell company called Victory Strategies that he set up to skim money from his fundraising efforts. TPM has the affidavit if you want to read it for LOLs.
Palin is saying the Gulf Oil Disaster proves her Drill, Baby, Drill garbage was right! She also goes on to say that Jesse James and Tiger Woods prove marriage works.
Home sales soared in April, proving the economy is back on track. Or that people were rushing to buy homes before the tax credits expired and home sales will come crashing down when the May reports his. But, whatever, buy now or be priced out forever!
In the wake of Democratic Senate Candidate Richard Blumenthal lying about his military record, Republicans have come out of the woodwork to lie about their military records! IL Senate candidate Mark Kirk is a big fat liar, Rep. Gary Miller is a big fat liar, and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is a big fat liar about her dad.
