Atheists Accept Georgia Governor’s Kind Offer To Place Literature ‘From All Groups’ In State Campgrounds
It seems that someone in the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, which runs the state’s parks, decided that if Bibles are good enough for motel rooms, then sure, why not distribute them in the cabins in state parks, too? But then Ed Buckner, the former head of American Atheists, went camping and found a Bible [...]
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal Won’t Endorse Black Teens And White Teens Dancing Together, Because Liberals
It looks like we are going to need a whole new division in our Legislative Shitmuffin contest for those goodly folks in our nation’s executive branches. And sorry Jan Brewer and Scott Walker and Rick Scott, but how on earth are you going to compete with Georgia’s own Nathan Deal, who is refusing to endorse [...]
Taking Firefighters Hostage, So Hot Right Now (Updated)
[Updated at 8:05 PM] We are getting very little news out of Suwanee, Georgia, where five firefighters who responded to a medical call are reportedly being held hostage by a gunman. Amazingly, it seems to have been at least three months since the last time this happened.
More Nice Time! These Children Don’t Want To Go To Separate (But Equal?) Proms
Well, if anybody can take a story about a segregated prom in the year of our lord two thousand thirteen, and turn it into a Nice Time story, it is the full-hearts folk at Yr Wonket. (We have finished PMSing, it would seem.) So, hi Rochelle, Georgia! How are you segregating your high school students [...]
Georgia GOP Chair Worried ‘I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry’ Will Be A Real Thing
Hey remember that one movie, with the dudes, but they are straight, but they gay marry each other? It looked like it was going to be 90 minutes of gay-panic jokes, but then it was surprisingly sweet, if we recall correctly since we probably watched it on cold medicine because there is no way we [...]
It Is Cute When White People Try To Have Thoughts About Slavery
A guest post from your comrade Gary Legum. Here is the sum total of facts your Wonket knows about Emory University: it is located in Atlanta, and Emory’s current president, one James Wagner, is dumber than a bag of hammers. Okay, perhaps that last one is more opinion than fact. Here, let us read this [...]
Rep. Paul Broun Not Content With Making House GOP Look Dumb, Will Run For Senate Instead
The wait is over! After weeks of breathless anticipation (and one titillating Twitter rumor), Georgia Rep. Paul Broun has announced he is running for United States Senate, after an illustrious, storied career in the House that has lasted all of five years, and a chunk of a sixth. While everybody else is focusing on which [...]
Erick Erickson: Let’s All Hit Other People’s Children With Belts!
We’ve all been there. Some baby is hopped up on goofballs and sucking Mountain Dew from a bottle. And he is running around the grocery store like a Hell’s Angel at Altamont while his pilled-out mom manages to whisper a couple times, “Jaaaden … um … honey? Where am I?” And we have wanted to [...]
What Would the U.S. Look Like If It Were a Failed State? Like Georgia, Pretty Much!
Have you ever wondered what the U.S. would look like it if were a failed state? And what sorts of skills you’d need in order to survive, and which government offices would function and which wouldn’t, and which aspects of society would collapse and which would manage to self-sustain? We have too, because it occasionally [...]
A Children’s Treasury Of Ridiculous Write-In Votes Against Georgia Congressman and Witchfinder General Paul Broun
Rep. Paul Broun (R-Gethsemane) is in a pretty safe district, being that Georgia’s 10th is about as far-right and uber-religious as they come. Broun is the one, you recall, who is a medical doctor who does not believe in medicine, who runs around yelling things like — and we are not making this quote up [...]
House Science Committee Member Paul Broun Has Excellent Reason For Believing Science Is Of The Devil
Last week, we got a friendly reminder of the power of that special, enlightened voting bloc that likes to look at facts and say “no, thank you.” We got that reminder in the form of Georgia Rep. Paul Broun (R-Eden), who took the stage to make sure everybody knew that just because he went to [...]
A Children’s Treasury Of Dancing And Hijinks From Your Atlanta Drinky Thing
Atlanta, dear Wonkadoos, was a compleat treat. About a dozen hardy lovers came from all over the South — one young miss from Birmingham! — to drink our beer and eat our vittles. And every one a peach! As usual, we will not be identifying the beautiful peoples in our party pix, but they may [...]
Georgia Just Following George W. Bush and Bill Clinton’s Bipartisan Example In Executing Retarded Man
So Georgia is going to kill a mentally retarded man dead next week, despite the Supreme Court having, in an unexpected moment of not being dicks, outlawed that. But Georgia’s come up with a novel way to get around the ban on executing mentally retarded people, and that is by saying “how you gonna prooooove [...]
