While I firmly and completely believe that Republicans are people who have had a humorectomy, I’m beginning to think they have also had a logicectomy.

Take today’s example:  Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Ole Bob has a new anti-choice thought:  having babies is good for the economy.  So, Sister, if you ain’t pumping ‘um out yearly, you are what’s causing the economic slump.

“I would suggest that it is very much the case that those of us in the majority support this legislation because it is the morally right thing to do, but it is also very very true that having a growing population and having new children brought into the world is not harmful to job creation,” Goodlatte said, as recorded by the Huffington Post. “It very much promotes job creation for all the care and services and so on that need to be provided by a lot of people to raise children.”

And if the parent can’t afford to pay for all that job creation?  What then, Bob?  Huh, Bob?  Cat got your Republican tongue, Bob?

Slave labor?  Are you asking women to reproduce for all your minimum wage no benefits jobs?  It’s cool if you are, Bob, because you’re a jerk either way.

By the way, Bob, I noticed that you are not contributing much to the economy.  Two children?  Phhhffff.

Within a Couple of Hours of me posting this, Louie sent me a kiss.

Louie is very, very upset about Oklahoma judges saying that denying rights to same gender duple is unconstitutional.

There goes my counter

Gohmert said that these judges are denying the biological reasons for restricting marriage to between a man and a woman.

“‘Basically, we haven’t seen any biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman,'” he said, summarizing the judges’ rulings during a Heritage Foundation event, according to Roll Call.

And so the Texas representative said that the judges “need some basic plumbing lessons.”

And Louie could use some physics lessons.  Dude, it fits a lotta places.

I am a fifth generation Texan.  I was pretty near fully grown before I knew that Oklahoma Sucks was two separate words.

So now their state legislature is coming real close to taking the cake.

State Rep Sally Kern heard a rumor that some student was suspended for eating his Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.  That’s what she heard and she’s sticking to it.  The fact that it wasn’t in her state and might have happened somewhere in Maryland was not cause for her to shrink from the horror of little children doing what comes naturally.

Oklahoma schoolchildren could not be punished for chewing their breakfast pastries into the shape of a gun under a bill introduced by a Republican legislator.

Rep. Sally Kern said Wednesday that her measure, dubbed the Common Sense Zero Tolerance Act, was in response to school districts’ policies that she believes are too strict or inflexible. She cited a recent Maryland case where a boy was suspended from school for chewing a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

Under Kern’s bill, children could bring “small” toy weapons to school which ought to cause some real fun guessing games for other students and teachers.  “Is It Real,” is such fun in the cafeteria line!

Yes, the menace of pop tart art is first and foremost on Ms. Kern’s mind and Oklahomans should sleep better tonight knowing that.

There’s not much news today so, always able to catch the big one, I go to the news section of the Googles and run “Louie Gohmert.”  Honey, you do not even need a fishing pole to catch dinner doing that.

To my shock and chagrin, the latest entry was January 10th.  That’s five days, 24 hour days, which if you do the math is like, I dunno, a real long time for Louie not to say something dumb.

Somebody please go take his pulse.  If he has one, give him another Lunesta and send him back to bed.

We’ve got a five day streak going.  I think that’s a record.

In Tennessee, Deputy David Caldwell was dispatched to William Rood’s house and found he bleeding around the face and neck.

Caldwell said Rood told him he had a .25 caliber Baretta pistol in the right front pocket of his pants. He took the pants off and placed them on his dresser, at which time the Baretta discharged, striking Rood in the chin. It was believed the bullet was still in Rood’s neck.

 Rood will be okay.  His pants and reputation, not so much.

Okay, this is Portland, Oregon.

The Multmonah County Republicans want to hold a fundraiser to honor two men.

Abraham Lincoln: NOT a big states’ rights guy

Multnomah Country Republicans recognize the incredible time of year we are in. In successive months to start the year, we celebrate the legacy of two great Republicans who demonstrated leadership and courage that all of us still lean on today: Martin Luther King, Jr and Abraham Lincoln.

That’s nice, isn’t it?  I mean, not that either Dr. King or President Lincoln would even be allowed to attend a Republican function, much less want to, it’s nice that Republicans are offering to honor two men who stand for everything they hate.  Right?

Not so fast, Nelly.

In celebrating these two men, and the denial of the rights they fought so hard against, the Multnomah County Republican Party announces that we have started our third raffle for an AR-15 rifle (or handgun of the winner’s choice).

Whoa.  They are honoring two guys – both of them killed by guns – by raffling … of dear God … a gun.  There does not seem to be much honor here.

And their speaker at the Lincoln/King dinner?  Raphel Cruz, the crazy DNA carrier to Ted Cruz.

Has this event been registered at the American Association of Mental Health and Irony Free Living?

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.
