...I never called her a man, I called her a wax Stepford Wife

Please do. Propagate that shit far and wide! Also, too, it would be amazing if you could replace pro life with "forced birth." Forced birth is a more accurate description of that particular movement. By movement, I mean they are all poop! Pax!

Or a Wax Stepford Wife. Sorry, the sir(ma'am) thing threw me off. It's sir. Or Prick if you prefer. I answer to prick as well.

No, there's no significance. It's just a very large number. In fact, looking back, I think I should have actually made it significant by changing the number to the actual number of the American female population.

I take that back, there is one significant portion. It is a long-held theory of mine that any made up number is funnier if it ends in seven. But that's it.

..."Prick" is my wife's pet name for me

I realized my fiancée is dishonest with me the day she started calling me sweetheart. I deserve the same pet name that you have.

At least some of them found jobs as anchors on Fox News.

Constitution, Article 2, Sec. 1: ""I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

No putting the hand on anything, no "so help me God." The President could pat his head and rub his tummy, and it wouldn't matter.

The reality is this was a truly bipartisan F***up. Conservatives just wanted the money. Liberals wanted an end to "warehousing" and envisioned a rosy future of small community group homes with unicorns grazing on the lawn. Some spoke of "confronting" society with the reality of mental illness. Consider yourselves confronted. Interesting thing about warehouses, they at least keep things out of the rain. But even if we were to re-establish the asylums we once had, the legal barriers to putting people there would be insurmountable.

President Barack Obama is gay and first lady Michelle Obama is really a dude! Guess she'd have to be to make the wingnuts' 'gay Obama' meme work, huh? And to tie it neatly into the "religious freedom" potty law-making frenzy.

"Lookout, Michelle's a blah dude dressed as a lady and she pees in the woman's bathroom at Target!" "They are comin' for our wominz!"

No dog whistles there.

True story. Yes... I once worked in one of those "halfway houses" in an apartment complex. The "clients" terrorized the rest of the renters on a daily basis and staff as well. Apparently, we just weren't hugging them enough. Needless to say, It was a summer temp gig which I gave up fairly quickly. Nothing like being screamed at for 9 hours straight.

Oh please :) Alex Jones has lived his entire life as the reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels. Go hang out over at Infowars a bit and have a look. Their main concern is Jew banksters who control the world, are responsible for all wars ever, and seek to impose a tyrannical 'New World Order' on the planet and make us all their slaves. *This is not snark.

With an assist from our side. Remember the fairy stories about integrating the mentally ill into society for the good of all?

So how come they waited until she was 81?

Yeah... most of the Tea Party and yet we keep letting them elect themselves to public office nationwide. And don't tell me no - I get their missives in my inbox and hear them spout this guano in person. Some of us just don't spend enough time reading/listening to right-wing material.

[Research. I don't generally hang out with such people for fun.]
