There'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'm off to the workshop to invent a feces-flinging gun. I figure if it looks enough like a Bushmaster, those Texas boys won'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't spare the water bombers from the Eastmain fire to use at Lac Megantic. The smoke has now reached Scandinavia. And no, you don't hear much about it. I suppose we take summer forest fires for granted, but this one is massive.

So gun-totin' 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?

Only laugh I'm getting today.

No coverage at all that I've seen. I'm so sorry...

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're a married woman.

Or else, who the hell knows.

Speaking of gloating, triumphal <strike>violent woman-hating fucks</strike> Jesus-loving moral folks, here's a little thing from Fox:

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