"...he also asked the bill’s supporters why pedophilia wasn’t in the bill."

Because rape of children is not now and shall never be a constitutionally-protected civil right.

Furthermore, whereas, ergo and also too, that which consenting adults do in private still remains and shall always be none of your goddamn business.

Pat Crank will henceforth be the name I go by when I meet new people at the bar.

“They’re in our public restrooms today,”

Do these nitwits actually believe that prior to passing one of these laws that transgender people never had to take a pee? Newsflash, homophobes, they were probably in there yesterday, last week, a couple months ago...

Harlan does seem a bit sheepish.

And writing the walls and dividers some of the most impressive 'Merican rhetoric.

Oh honey, that's EXACTLY what I thought he'd look like.

That poker face is hiding sexual fantasies that would make a 3-dollar drag hooker blush.

Ooh, pick me, pick me! I can do it!

1) Science instructors should be able to punt any question that might make their little fundie-creationist student snowflakes uncomfortable. Evolution is a theory that should be introduced, maybe in advanced college courses, and mocked immediately. Global warming should not be taught at all because it's just a conspiracy. Pregnancy by rape is just a theory that should be debunked, or at least punted, and pre-med students should be taught that women cannot get pregnant if they didn't secretly love the whole ordeal. There are more, but I'm depressing myself.

2) Cut this fucker to the bone and leave one or two offices to cover each state. Cut staff at each post and then make them do the work previously done by 326 other people. And then bitch and talk about doing away with it completely in a year because it's such an abysmal failure at doing its job.

An entire post and discussion about assholes from Wyoming, and no mention of Dick Cheney? That seems kinda weird.

Has he taken a stance on the issue?

So, a guy named Pat Crank is standing up to a dick representative named Harlan who sarcastically wants an amendment to include pedophiles ...

... Ok, nope - that's overload - I'm tappin' out!

If it’s a legitimate pee, the transgender body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. I heard it on the intertubes.

At my office mostly business calls or talking to yourself.

The Pointy-Haired Boss couldn't have put it better.

He just accidentally used the wrong talking points... he was trying to comment on the science standards proposal to make them "unique to Wyoming" for the oil and gas industry to comment on. http://trib.com/news/state-...
