Just when you thought it couldn’t get any stupider comes a report that one of our local state representatives (Rick Brattin) is sponsoring a bill in the Missouri state house that would force schools to teach “intelligent design” alongside evolution.
Look I don’t mind if you’re religious. If you are, more power to you. But don’t try to enforce your stupidity on my children. Don’t try to bring your religion into my school. There’s no place for it at school, unless you want to teach ALL religions and give equal credence to each. If that’s the case, then more power to you. If not, which I suspect is the case, then sit down and shut the f()#ck up.
Really our schools have enough problems without you stupid, pandering politicians getting involved and trying to force curriculum.
Just focus on whether crops need funding or a new road needs built or whatever you waste our taxpayer funded time on.
A Knoxville, Tennesse restaurant threw out an anti-gay lawmaker recently. Apparently the young lady waiting on this douchebag said that the guy was “homophobic and said that he “hates homosexuals” and refused to serve him.
This is a man who has said that it’s impossible to spread HIV/AIDS through heterosexual sex, that homosexuality is the same thing as beastiality and sponsored the stupid “don’t say gay bill” recently.
Case in point, arguing about politics on Facebook. Granted it’s not a forum given to erudite and thought provoking discussion. “omg you dress is so awesome” and “I totally peed my pants today! LOL!” generally being the deepest and most meaningful of Facebook posts. Politics it seems, brings out the worst in us and political posts should be avoided.
Now if only I’d listen to my own advice. See, I have a problem. I love to start political fights on Facebook as most of my friends are staunch republicans and I am just a little left of Trotsky…so you can see where there might be some issues. Of course I create the issues and start the fights so there’s that.
I’ve vowed to stop this heinous practice and very occasionally I do. I’ll post the usual gibberish mostly about how I’ve peed my pants. Because it happens so often. But then I can’t help myself. I see something somewhere, most probably the hippie commie sites that I read, and feel compelled to share it. I can’t stop.
So I’m sitting outside enjoying a cup of coffee when I hear planes overhead. I’m such a geek that I stop pretty much what I’m doing to watch. But wait, says I, thes planes sound different. Turns out they were WWII planes of some sort. I was scared and thought for a minute that I’d been transported in time back to 1941. Then I realized that my iPad probably wouldn’t have Internet access in 1941 so I had some coffee.
Listening to KEXP, generally very cool good selection of music, great jocks etc.
So anyway, listening this morning, digging some choices by The Heavy and some other tasty nuggets when what to my wandering ears should appear but a Leonard Cohen song.
Look I get it it, he’s an icon. A writer of great songs, etc.
But other than “Hallelujah” I can’t fucking stand him.
Can’t listen to the monotone dronning voice. It makes me want to cause someone to have physical and/or mental pain. Listening to Leonard Cohen “sing” is as far as I’m concerned akin to listening to thousands of baby seals being slaughtered for their pelts.
Here’s a video of Mitt Romney (who’s forming an “exploratory” committee to run for president) or so goes the announcement today. Just thought I’d share it so my republican friends can enjoy. Please note his damn hippie liberal attitude. So, enjoy!
