Maybe someone should tell them that the UK just passed a law about legalising SSM
I thought they said it'd get killed in the House of Lords?
The Tories hope that
Great name, or best name ever?
YES.
Better than Greg Killmaster or Barry Steakfries?
Actually, come to think of it, he DOES face stiff competition from Lawrence Eagleburger.
so drone strikes and Congress trying to buy the military tanks that they don't want.
whelp.
This is... what the hell?
I doubt this is going to pass, but the fact that somebody actually proposed this? Who votes for this kind of people?
Evangelicals.
People who believe that simply by declaring and believing something is, it becomes so.
In other news, Marco Rubio (R senator from FL) brags about still living in the same working-class neighborhood as he used to...and he's selling his house at the same time.

Nebraska's lieutenant governor recently resigned because of a scandal (I think).
Governor Dave Heinemann (R) appointed a replacement LG. Said replacement is former state senator and current U of Nebraska Board of Regents member Levon Heidemann.
Well, well, well, what do we have here.

(WARNING!: Newsmax site with "informational" advertising)
This guy spends the first several minutes complaining about "big government" and offering several anecdotes exemplifying government waste.
About three minutes later, he promises you that this book will tell you how to buy a car and take a vacation on the government's dime. And the page's description text promises something that "allows you to sit back and collect tax-advantaged paychecks without having to lift a finger."
Oh, did you hear that guy say that he's not against paying is fair share for roads and schools? Why don't we take another look at the title of that page...
For the record, said "fair share" appears to be zero.
Anyhow, this just goes to show that money-minded conservatives aren't actually interested in government efficiency. They're interested in how to make government completely penniless and useless and kick it aside.
FYI, this is the sort of book marketed to people who are the "one day I'll be rich if I do everything like the rich people do" sort. Which just doubles how much of a morally-bankrupt scam it is.
In case you're not familiar with it, Newsmax is a publisher of "news" directed toward a conservative audience. They're very well known for, especially around election times and when major policy debates are going on, putting up these web ads with very simple white-background blue-and-red-bordered banner ads telling people to vote on whether a dumb-looking Democrat's associated policy idea is a bad idea (or, less often, whether a less-dumb-looking Republican's associated policy idea is a good idea). If you click those links, you often get directed to pages asking you to sign up for stuff, as well as associated pages asking you to sign up for or buy other stuff.
Sadly, they're only mediocre at picking out dumb photos.
Not actual news, but it's saying something:
How much truth is in this, anyway? Would it be unsurprising to one day read about 12 mass shootings that altogether leave 318 people dead?
Actually, considering this is The Onion, I'm almost inclined to take the article to mean that something like this has happened. Or maybe I'm overthinking this.
I think the headline here says as much as I can convey:
1.
2. In other news, Republican in general have complained about Democrats being wasteful of taxpayers' money.
3. I don't see a provision criminalizing bulges in pants.
Someone on another forum I go to (rhetorically, perhaps) suggested criminalizing butt cracks.
>"You know what they say-duct tape fixes everything"
>in b4 people suggesting the senator tapes his gob shut
^^ Well of course. Crack kills, you know.
(WRONG THREAD.)
Whatever you linked to was a Facebook page that no longer exists.
That is entirely the point, but I still put that in the wrong thread. Sorry. Will correct soon.
For something completely different: wouldn't a person introducing Sharia law also try to criminalize nipple exposure? Or the other way round, the latter would find support from the former.
Religious extremists have a hilarious way of opposing both reasonable people and each other.
Anyhow, I was just reviewing in my head the party control of all the country's state legislatures. I forgot a few of them, but one of the more curious cases was asking myself about Oklahoma.
I was like, it's Dem-controlled if the other shoe hasn't dropped yet, Repub-controlled if it has.
/me looks up Oklahoma state senate and state house, finds Republicans in control
Yep, it has.
> butt crack
> drugs
> taking drugs via butt
@_@
I heard some people do it, honestly.
Though the most bizarre method some of my friends use to get high has to be taking ganja through a gas mask.
