Arizona and Oklahoma are in a race to see who can be the most crazy. I don't think AZ has a chance, but there is still some humor left in the state.

And we have Sen. Ralph Shortey as a contender for the Kern Prize, too.  He introduced legislation to prevent us from eating unborn babies in processed food after reading about it on the internets.  He introduced a bill to bar the children of illegal immigrants "Oklahoma citizenship" whatever that is.  And he wants to prevent SCOTUS from ruling on any laws passed in Oklahoma, too.

That huge sucking noise is the space in between both of those legislators ears sucking the oxygen out of the room...

Sadly, a large percentage of those contacting her with their support don't understand satire - they think she is serious.

The Bible says that it is better to place one's seed in the belly of a harlot than to lose spill it on the ground.  (This is Newt's motivation, I'm sure.)

First thing to hit the floor when I check in.  Ghack!

I'd never thought of that until I was watching one of the crime investigation shows on A & E or Discovery and they were talking about it was hard to link DNA to the killing they were investigating because there was something close to 150 different distinct samples on the bedspread!

They should replace the light bulbs in hotel rooms with black lights.  You could probably still read a book from the reflected illumination!

  They should also introduce a bill to create a law that forbids the killing or destruction of any human life.

For example...

Next time someone goes the the dentist and has a molar removed, they and the dentist should be thrown in prison.

A molar is more fully human than say a blastocyst composed of only a few cells.  I still have my molars and I wouldn't go against what is natural, what God put there and intended, and go to some doctor and have some ghastly, bloody procedure to rip out and kill human life.  A human molar isn't dog life, or cat life, it's human life and shouldn't be killed.  


I am anti-abortion.  But my first thought as a Christian is to work to create a world in which a woman wouldn't want, nor be put in the position to want, to have an abortion.    We are taught to pray " thy Kindom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."   and are taught that in heaven the laws are not written in books or scrolls but "on the hearts and minds of men".   I don't try to do the right thing, or anything for that matter, because there is or is not a law telling me what I can or can not do.  Sure having a moral code and set of guidelines can help guide me in my descisions, but ultimately we all pretty much do what we feel we want and think is right for us to do.  

There is an old saying that goes something like this... There are thousands of people trying to pluck at the leaves of the tree of evil, and far too few hacking away at its roots.  Whenever I think about even seemingly very disparate things like, child abuse, drug abuse, poor health habits, divorce, crime in general, abortion, etc. etc. I always seem to end up at the same singular place, back at the same small set of "root" causes.   We seem to have all these people putting so much effort into making this or that "leaf" illegal, but too few working on the root causes, which if you were to work on those, would eliminate a myriad of "sins".  Again I am reminded of "on earth as it is in heaven", lets make a world where people do the right thing because its written in their hearts and minds to do so.  Putting our efforts into making, passing, enforcing, etc. this or that law just seems to be a distraction from the Good Works and the Good News.

When I see Oklahoma legislation I think of "Blazing Saddles"- Mel Brooks, the governor, in some agitation, "Gentlemen! We need to do something fast to save our Phoney Baloney jobs!"

Probably more truth than comedy in that classic.
