Here's this week's excellent Speaking Truth To Bat Boy viral video, recorded by lucky bystander Stephen Bender and posted to the YouTubes . It features a Starbucks customer ( later identified as Cara Jennings, "a former Lake Worth city commissioner and liberal activist") giving Florida governor Rick Scott a
I happen to be the chair of a local water/sewer/etc district board. We say the pledge when we call meetings to order, by tradition, not requirement.
When I became prez, I thought seriously about just omitting the pledge, but decided not to do that because (1) tradition; (2) it gets everybody to shut up, which is useful. And (3) I don't really have a problem with the pledge, executed voluntarily by adults, except for the grafted on "under God", and I put up with that because it's stupid 50's anti-communist stupid.
FWIW, I have a big problem with the pledge being REQUIRED in schools, not so much because of the "under God" part, but because minors should not be required to pledge to ANYTHING.
We used to criticize the Soviet Union for requiring their kids to say their loyalty oath every single day.
Back then, it was a given among liberals that the real reason conservafilth hated the Russkies was because they were doing all the things the conservafilth wanted to do, but couldn't (yet).
Good news for a change from Florida, shacking up no longer illegal.

Congratulations, all you unmarried lovers in Florida who are shacking up together. You are no longer breaking the law.
Among the 20 new laws that Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed Wednesday is a bill that immediately repeals Florida’s 148-year-old ban on cohabitation.
The previous law, enacted in 1868, made it a second-degree misdemeanor — punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine — for a man and a woman to “lewdly and lasciviously associate” and live together before marriage.
Florida had been one of only three states to still criminalize cohabitation. Now only Michigan and Mississippi make it illegal.
She's awesome, but the backlash against her is really nasty. This is why I don't speak out publicly all that much. The Rethugs dig up dirt on anyone who confronts them. Which sucks donkey dick.
I ran into Colorado governor Hickenlooper at Target one Sunday. He was really nice and shook my hand. Of course, he's a Dem good-guy, not an asshat. I ignore asshats.

Strictly speaking, you would be pledging shit to the nylon rectangle AND to the republic for which it stands.
But also, NO ONE should have to prove their love of country to anyone, so carry on.
(p)Rick Scott had his PAC go after her. It's on YouTube, with the comments disabled. Stay classy, assholes.
Huh. Good to know, Inez. Bitch.

Even more confusion - is it still a straw man if it's made out of pure baloney?
Inquiring minds want to know!!

A woman chasing an elected official out of a coffee shop because he can't engage in meaningful dialogue tells me Rick is a pussy.
