Texas House Bill 5 DID NOT PASS. Those mean people in the Gallery screwed the process up enough that the vote was delayed past midnight, which is when the special session ended. Of course Lt. Governor Pony Fuck from a Wheelchair is very pissy about this turn of events. Don't be surprised in Governor Goat Fucker calls another special session.

Here's how it will go: Kennedy will read the majority opinion voiding DOMA and reversing Prop 8 to make it legal to be gay in California. Scalia will read a dissenting opinion so sarcastic and vitriolic that Ruth Bader Ginsberg will threaten to shank him in the SCOTUS cafeteria the next time he loads his plate "with the last helping of risotto, you stinking Guido." Scalia will make a rude gesture. Ginsberg will climb over the bench and grab Nino by the earlobe and pinch him until he howls for mercy.

No, I think they actually were caught off guard on this. They all have this vacant look about them although I suppose that could be their normal look. Dicks... yes!

This whole thing reminds me (apart from the timescale) of the BBC radio programme "Just a Minute", where the contestants had to spin out a minute speaking "without repetition, hesitation or deviation". A successful tactic was to wait till the last second, then challenge. If the challenge was upheld, the challenger said "I ...", time ran out, and he won.

If you delete it, it should probably be preserved in the 'Rules for Radically Commenting", or whatever it's called, so people know what to expect. I shall faithfully read every word from now on, including the "punter head", if I have that right. And the alt-text, when it eventually shows up.

Family, friends, jobs, history. Some people are wired into those things in ways that make it impossible to move. Ideally they try to make things better where they are.

Accurate intercourse = a woman, not a ewe.

The "R" word? We're not supposed to use it.

"Shitstain" works nicely - there's always hope that America can change into clean underwear.

They have a laser-like focus on making Obama a two-term president. It's working so far.

That worked out well . . . last I checked there were 180,000 tuned in - and that was just the YouTube feed - watching the Republiturds make a mockery of their own rules. We'll find out in 2014 if the majority of Texas voters are, in fact, complete morons.

Sounds like some Texas legislators need some sex education.
