The year of endless primaries also became the Year of the Woman again last night, in Oklahoma, where Republican Congresswoman Mary Fallin and Democratic Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins won their respective races and will face each other in the gubernatorial general. Askins just barely beat state Attorney General Drew Edmondson — by less than 1% of the vote — because this was not the Year of the Man. This means Oklahoma will have its very first lady governor, assuming Fallin and Askins make it to the general election. (You know how women are always quitting things! Ha ha just kidding we are not misogynists, we were just thinking of America’s Only Real Woman, 46-year-old idiot grandma Sarah Palin.) [Politico/Oklahoman]- Speaking of 2010 elections, which are fast approaching just like a terrible asteroid that will destroy all intelligent life on Earth, it turns out the Republicans would need to win 43 seats in the House to get a majority, and not the 39 or whatever you hear about all the time if you read the Politico. This apparently means the GOP would need to fight about 80 real races and it doesn’t look like they even know how to do that, because they’re too busy watching Breitbart’s Blacks Gone Wild VHS Klan tapes from the Reconstruction era.

“the Republicans would need to win 43 seats in the House to get a majority, and not the 39 or whatever you hear about all the time if you read the Politico. This apparently means the GOP does not know how to count.”
Fixed.
Poor GOPers. It seems maths has a liebrul bias like most things involving facts.
I bet the cowboys broke into dance when they heard the news about the Year of the Women!
Oklahoma, with a female governor… I’m just thinking of a TG Inhoffe, here, and it’s making me want no breakfast.
As for the number of races, don’t blame the Republicans: they get their math from Fox News polls.
This idiot grandma?
Sarah as seen by the Taiwanese
They let women run for office in Oklahoma? Good for OK. I thought they had some sort of Christian Sharia law going on out there.
The third item jarred me a bit as there were no jokes.
Whaddya know, 2010 is also the year of the Tiger. Coincidence? I say ME-OW. (That’s “no” for those of you who don’t speak pussy.)
[re=627162]red sky[/re]: I think that may be Utah…
Ken, I think you do a disservice to grandmothers everywhere by placing that title on Palin. Come to think of it, calling her a woman is an insult to females everywhere. I mean, if she is human, she’s just plain bringing down the species.
OK, OK. Let’s get this year of the woman over with so things can get back my normal routine of porn, beer, wonkette and porn.
[re=627161]Oblios Cap[/re]: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just brilliant. Note to mudwrestling Obama, though: next time, sweep the leg.
[re=627166]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: I’m not convinced Bristol had that baby. Young Tripp could be Sarah Palin’s baby. That would make her a mama but not a grand mama. I wanna see Tripp’s birf certificate. And not some fake copy, I want the original document with a raised seal, long form — the longest form they’ve got. Plus video of Bristol giving birth. Plus video of Sarah NOT giving birth.
[re=627168]Ruhe[/re]:
I liked the exploding dictionary.
Only the libral media’s math says God’s Party needs to win that many seats, this is the same one that says pi is some weird number and not 3 just because their so-called measurements say so even though the Bible says it’s 3, and the Bible says Jesus loves Republicans and hates Demrats and so they’ll win.
[re=627171]just pixels[/re]: There is already far too much video of $arah not giving birth. Worse yet is there is audio. Also.
[re=627171]just pixels[/re]:
Speaking of birf certificates, I saw the cover the The Globe while in the checkout line*. Seems they have PROOF that Obama was born in Kenya and ineligible to be president. PROOF! You’d think that story was getting a bit old even for the tabloids.
*- Who actually buys these publications? Don’t most folks look them over while the checkout clerk is searching for the code for grapes?
[re=627175]JMP[/re]: Pi is not a whole integer because it’s irrational. Claiming that Pi is a whole integer ’cause baby Jesus prefers round numbers is irrational. That is irony.
[re=627172]Oblios Cap[/re]: You think she blew up her “See and Say” when she was a kid?
[re=627183]Terry[/re]: The supermarket tabloids have really gone downhill since The Weekly World News folded. I have no idea what Batboy is up to these day.
[re=627183]Terry[/re]: Funny story. I went to one of the “make your own Kenyan birth certificate” web sites and printed up one for myself. I brought it to work to show a couple people, as a joke. Well, someone else saw it on my desk and thought it was my actual birthday (because I’d just used that day as my birth date). Bottom line: I got a cake that day.

Christopher Carney…voted for the health care reform bill, a move that would seem like political suicide in the rural northeastern part of the state.
Right. Because, as we all know, when you want high quality, affordable healthcare, you’d best head to the country and become a yeoman farmer.
Well, Charlie Cook may have math, but the Politico has THE math.
Anyone else think the Oklahoma citizenry will base their vote on which lady they’d rather bang in the ass?
[re=627189]FMA[/re]:
I used to love the Weekly World News. I imagined that it was written by stoners who each week would come up with more and more outlandish stuff to see how far they could go.
Are the Oklahoma menz stocking-up on liquor, gunz and ammo? Oh, yeah, that. Well liquor then, since their tornadoie storm cellars are already filled to the hatch/door with gunz and ammo to be ready for the Obamanator burning the 2nd Amendment and causing the great gunz & ammo ban and confiscation.
[re=627189]FMA[/re]: God, I miss Batboy!

[re=627167]just pixels[/re]: “porn and…..wonkette and porn”. Do you, perchance, work for the Department of Redundancy Department?
[re=627200]magic titty[/re]: what else should they consider?
[re=627189]FMA[/re]: [re=627201]Terry[/re]: Many years ago I worked with the guy (RIP) who later became editor of the Weekly World News and made it great. Shortly after he got the position he called me out of the blue and offered me a job, knowing that I was fond of the beach and other “perks” of living in Florida during the ’80s.
Unfortunately at that point I was still young and naive and stupid – I believed in “journalism”.
So I turned down the job – an epic mistake even by my standards.
[re=627220]Capitol Hillbilly[/re]: Stamina.
I’m just happy that Mary Fallin beat out Randy Brogdon – that guy is whack. A real crazy-eyed bible-humper. Fallin’s crazy, but not batshit crazy.
I’ll be voting for the one that I’d guess most men do NOT want to bang at all. Not sure if she’ll protect Freedom of Choice in this state, but I’m sure that Fallin will not.
OKIE girl fight! Woohoo!
[re=627191]just pixels[/re]: Sounds like you should try that every day.
Surprised also, that women would have some power in OK after the disgraceful legislation that passed this year to expose women publicly should they seek an abortion or other reproductive services. Don’t know these candidates, but they could just be complicit in denying women their rights in order to prove worthy of being in the good ole boys club. OK is not a female friendly state and electing a woman governor doesn’t change the harm already done.
[re=627183]Terry[/re]: In our haste to be funny, let’s not propagate GOP/Teabag folklore. Obama could have been born on Mars and he’d still be a US citizen, as The Mater was a US citizen. Proof of that? McCain, who was born in Panama.
[re=627215]progressiveinga[/re]: Um, it’s called “humor”…the redundancy is on purpose to let you know that the person really, REALLY likes porn.
Seriously, it just effs up the joke when ya gotta explain it. Sheesh.
[re=627215]progressiveinga[/re]: You’re kidding, right?
[re=627189]FMA[/re]: http://weeklyworldnews.com/ Batboy is dating a Brazilian woman.
Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
[re=627163]Mild Midwesterner[/re]: No jokes re a Third World/Fourth World airliner crash?
You’re missing something: A Third/Fourth World “airline” IS the joke.
The accident reports are a SCREAM, e.g., the heijera flight that catches on fire because one of the passengers lit a fire to brew tea? And after the “Captain” gets the aircraft on the ground, he proceeds to taxi around while the passengers asphyxiate from the fumes?
Hey, maybe there’s a musical in there somewhere?
Haha, here’s a picture of Mary Fallin!!
