The boys at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic High School in Arizona might want to change their name to Our Lady of Everlasting Virginity.  Those boys ain’t ever gonna get laid.

Mesa Preparatory Academy and Our Lady of Sorrows (no, I did not make up that name) were set to play in the state high school baseball championship this week.  But, there was an insurmountable horror:  Mesa Prep had a – prepare yourself – girl playing second base on their team.  A real, live girl.

So, Our Lady of Sorrows made the principled decision to forfeit the game rather than play against a team with a  girl.

At least, that’s their story.

Our Lady of Sorrows, a fundamentalist Catholic school in Phoenix that lost twice to Mesa Prep during the regular season, chose to forfeit the championship game rather than play a team fielding a female player.

Chickens.

Her teammates have stood up for her.

During Mesa Prep’s two previous games with Our Lady of Sorrows, Paige didn’t play out of respect for the opposing team’s beliefs, but that wasn’t going to be an option this time, Pamela said.

“We respected their school rule … but she took it hard,” Pamela said. “She didn’t like it and neither did her teammates. They went out and played the best they could because they wanted to prove a point.”

Mesa Prep is undefeated and the state champion, with a girl playing second base.

It ended with Our Lady of Sorrows forfeiting the game.

Like I said, those wussy boy at Our Lady of Sorrows ain’t never gonna get laid.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.

Just our luck – we get Michele Bachmann back from the Swiss.

Days after she joked with a Swiss television reporter about the prospect of running for office in Switzerland., U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann now claims that she is planning to withdraw her dual citizenship.

Oh crap, all those yodeling lessons  just wasted.  Marcus is not going to be happy when he gets the bill for that.

Thanks to everybody in the entire Juanita Universe for the heads up.

Thanks to Kary for the heads-up.

Now is your chance to be a fly on the wall at a GOP convention in Minnesooota!

Meet Lynne Torgerson – she running for Congress as a Rightwing Republican and has about as much use for the Looneytarians as a screen door on a submarine.

The Convention was overrun by Ron Paul Libertarians. More than 2/3 of the delegates were Ron Paul Libertarians. When I mentioned that we were at a Republican Convention, they laughed out loud.

They began the Convention. There was no opening prayer. Not even a mention of it.

There was also no Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag.

Lynne was then an unwilling witness to such atrocities as flag desecration, clowns,  the Un-Pledge of Allegiance, time limits, speech cutting, people who are pro gay rights, and no praying, by gawd!

She was gracious to share this –

I recently read an article in Mother Jones. It reported that the Libertarians did a study and concluded that given its form of government, that the State of New Hampshire would be the easiest State in the Union to take over. Then, 14,000 Libertarians moved to New Hampshire. It appears that a similar strategy is being employed in Minneapolis, and the State of Minnesota.

So, if you see anybody driving along in a Beverly Hillbillies truck reading Ayn Rand, odds are pretty good that they are heading to Minnesooota to just ruin Lynne Torgerson’s life.

By the way, her website is a smorgasbord of hilarity.

Thanks to MaryK for the heads-up.

Apparently the State House in Colorado got a testy yesterday as Republicans tried to kill a civil unions bill the Democrats wanted passed. The Speaker of the Colorado House gathered up his ball and walked out.

Frank McNulty, a Republican from Highlands Ranch, walked out of the House at roughly 9 p.m. and stayed away for more than two hours, letting a recess run all the while and killing the civil unions bill and nearly 40 other bills in the process.

Democrats had been accusing Republicans playing of stalling games.  All the parliamentary sideshow was fun to watch but the Irony Ire Award goes to this statement –

Republicans had been denying for hours that they were filibustering …

For hours?  Really?

The best way to prove you’re not filibustering?  Uh, shut the hell up.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.
