By now you have probably read about the Great TAMPONGHAZI!!!! at the Texas capitol building in Austin Friday. While the state senate went through their little Kabuki theater to pass a bill with stringent restrictions on abortion, everybody entering the gallery to watch the performance got searched for contraband tampons by officers of the Department of Public Safety. Yr Wonkette has been mildly hard at work sifting through all the conflicting reports of what exactly went down. Join us as we ask ourselves “What in the everloving fuck?” Will there also be <headdesking>? Probably! You’ll just have to join us after the jump!
There&#039;s no point in expecting decency from EE or Faux News, but it would be a service to goose that Jezebel link (and, better, any permanent wall-of-shame repositories) so it reappears constantly.
I have been of the opinion that confiscating those items was intended to give people ideas. Put the idea out there of throwing tampons onto the senate floor and confiscate feminine hygiene products and voila! you have given everyone guidance on what you want them to do. Make the librul babbie-killin hoores look like a hysterical female mob.
Well, I&#039;m off to the workshop to invent a feces-flinging gun. I figure if it looks enough like a Bushmaster, those Texas boys won&#039;t look at it twice.
Every woman there could have had at least one to throw. Something to think about for the next time (and there will be a next time . . . the Xtards never quit.)
Yeah, they couldn&#039;t spare the water bombers from the Eastmain fire to use at Lac Megantic. The smoke has now reached Scandinavia. And no, you don&#039;t hear much about it. I suppose we take summer forest fires for granted, but this one is massive.
Chicago asshole&#039;s company was thrilled when a year or two ago they cut back from two to one crew member per train. For efficiency.
So gun-totin&#039; Texas legislators are so terrified of being pelted with small fluffy cotton pellets that they have them confiscated? Tell me again how well guns work to protect everyone?
I went to a totally secular progressive school, but girls were still told not to use tampons, just those ginormous pads with a belt thing (this was late 60s). Why? too much like sex, basically. Obscene to stick something up yourself unless you&#039;re a married woman.
Speaking of gloating, triumphal <strike>violent woman-hating fucks</strike> Jesus-loving moral folks, here&#039;s a little thing from Fox:

i forgot about that.

As long as he doesn&#039;t bring his bitch to the Waffle Hut.
Weaponized maxipads, obvs.
It was amazing how many people posting on HuffPoo the day after the accident saw this as the best possible argument for a pipeline.
Uh-oh. I think I just figured out where I put my Skittles.
Again?

Only laugh I&#039;m getting today.
No coverage at all that I&#039;ve seen. I&#039;m so sorry...

External feces being transported into the chamber increased the potential for confusion. The Texas Senate hates competition.
