Do people in Texas worry that their children will never be able to get into a real college?
Or do they just assume that what was good enough for them, a Xtian Degree from Liberty U, will be good enough for Junior?
The model who praised “state’s rights” (AKA segregation) in support of a racist law is, according to RedState, perfect for the Supreme Court. That says it all, I guess; they really do want to overturn Brown v Board of Education.
Anything by Mary Katharine Ham should be taken with a grain of salt.
Oh good! For a while, I thought that tingling sensation was her… something else.
Have you ever looked at the actual lyrics to the song Dixieland? Apparently closeted and self hating gay men who marry women as beards has a long tradition there, which explains some of the GOP’s issues.
O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin’
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
His face was sharp as a butcher’s cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Miss Oklahoma, no. Miss USA Rima Fakih, yes.
Miss Oklahoma? They know she came in second, right? Oh, sorry — I forgot the RedStaters think coming in second is a mandate.
Our California legislature: Very good at trying to mess in other states’ affairs. Not very good at agreeing on a budget.
[re=579676]SayItWithWookies[/re]: According to the RedStaters, she only came in second because of political correctness, because of course no brown girl could be as attractive as the blond; and it’s affirmative action that the judges didn’t like overt racism.
I hope someone asks Sarah Palin about the “Atlantic Triangular Trade” and videotapes her response.
Yglesias had this interesting idea from the Cato folks:
The Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards wants you to know that it’s easy to reduce federal spending by ten percent, you just need to be willing to let kids go hungry:
10. Food Subsidies (Food Stamps and School Lunch). Low-income families often suffer from poor food choices and obesity, not a shortage of calories. Food aid for the needy should be left to private charities. Save $90 billion
Everyone on redstate knows the winner is the highest-placing non-muslim.
In the Miss Confederacy pageant, all the questions are about states’ rights.
[re=579752]chascates[/re]: Agreed. Chocolate Possum Gravy is a poor food choice.
[re=579704]JMP[/re]: I thought she came in second because she looked like every other blonde on stage.
Thank you very much, Young Riley. I turned on the teevee in time to hear Chrissy assure me that the Democratic party is done, finis, nada, that’s it, swimming with the fishes. Fucked, fucked, fucked.
So I switch off the teevee to get a little amusement from “my” wonkette and you have to confront with the next-newest stupid coming out of my state.
She’s just maintaining the tradition established by Miss Oklahoma of yore, Anita Bryant.
Google her, Young Riley, if the name doesn’t ring a liberty bell for you.
(The stupidest coming out of my state today? After our governor vetoes about his 50th. Republic bill of the week, my idiot Rep, Rex Duncan, (R–HeadUpAssville) is going back to the lege to fight for his important cowboy-style 6 shooter on the hip law. Because this state isn’t dealing with the same kind of actually important shit every state is dealing with.
Republics are idiots.
