Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the woman!
She explained that the justices have dinner together before the annual speech, which she said Scalia hadn’t attended in several years, and that Justice Anthony Kennedy brought along a bottle of California wine that was just too good to resist.
Which brings up the question: How does Clarence Thomas get there without Scalia holding his hand?
Live reporting from Aladamnbama.
Okay, I realize it’s Montana and there’s not much to do in Montana except look at the sky.
But, for goodness sake, it seems like State Rep David Moore needs a new hobby.
David Moore needs a hobby
Moore introduced a bill about proper attire.
The proposal would expand indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men’s, and any garment that “gives the appearance or simulates” a person’s buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.
Personally, I think he just wanted to say “nipple” a whole bunch of times.
Then he decides to go a step further —
The Republican from Missoula said tight-fitting beige clothing could be considered indecent exposure under his proposal.
“Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway,” Moore said after the hearing.
Moore said he wouldn’t have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing but that he’d trust law enforcement officials to use their discretion. He couldn’t be sure whether police would act on that provision or if Montana residents would challenge it.
“I don’t have a crystal ball,” Moore said.
Honey, honey, honey, don’t fret about the crystal ball. Fret about not having a lick of sense.
First off, you know Montana is way too white when only beige clothing is indecent. Second off, I would think the police in Montana might have something better to do than drive around and arrest women on their way to yoga class.
Lastly, and most importantly, when Republicans talk about smaller government and getting government out of our lives, you know they’re just jacking with you, right?
Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.
Remember Jeb and the email dump? And that he did it for the sake of transparency?
Well, not so much.
It seems that Ole Jeb forgot to include emails of his lobbying for Bacardi in exchange for campaign contributions.
In 2002, one email exchange following Jeb’s helping Bacardi’s guy arrange meetings at the Departments of Commerce and Treasury. Bacardi had been in a long trademark fight with a Cuban rum maker. Bush was there to help Barcardi.
Six days later, on Feb. 26, Rodriguez Marquez wrote Gov. Bush again to thank the governor for his “invaluable support regarding our problems at Commerce and Treasury.”
“Thank you, Jorge. I hope it all works out,” Bush replied two hours later.
The next day, Bacardi-Martini donated $10,000 to the Republican Party of Florida. On Feb. 28, Rodriguez Marquez and his wife gave a total of $1,000 to Jeb Bush’s re-election campaign.
Neither the Bacardi chief’s thank-you email nor Bush’s reply was posted on jebemails.com.
And that’s just one example of many that were redacted from his email dump. He didn’t have time to redact other people’s social security numbers but he did have time to redact his own dirty hands.
There’s nothing wrong with Bush lobbying for Barcardi to his Dad and idiot brother. Taking $50,000 total in campaign contributions for himself and the Florida Republican party in direct exchange for it just ain’t right.
Why won’t Republican candidates acknowledge evolution?

Because they did not evolve. Their family tree doesn’t divide.
While a 2014 Pew Research Center poll found that the number of Republicans who believe in evolution has gone down over the past five years, with 43 percent now saying that human beings have evolved, down from 54 percent when the same poll was given in 2009.
Hey, that alone proves that Republicans are evolving downward.
Thanks to Irene for the heads up.
Remember that I told you about Mark Hiles, the guy who plead guilty to whacking his wife, giving $700,000 to Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott and that in return, they put him on important advisory committees and practically crowned him King of the Inauguration Ball?
While I was typing that story, I kept typing Gov. Rick Perry instead of Gov. Greg Abbott. I laughed to myself that old habits die hard. Hell, I’m still putting 2014 on checks.
Come to find out, I wasn’t forgetful. I was being a damn psychic.
Mark Hiles gave Rick Perry $200,000, but he’s not giving it back.
Abbott and Patrick are donating the money he gave them to a women’s shelter.
Not Rick. No, siree.
I guess it takes one crook to love another crook.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
