But Will the Crazy Pills be Covered?!?

Have you ever heard a more quintessentially republican idea that this?

…federal Medicaid dollars would be redirected to help Texans pay for insurance that isn’t Medicaid. It could be employer-sponsored insurance or private coverage.

At first I thought, hmm, this reminds me of a school vouchers program but for health care. But someone told me that I [...]

An Aggie’s Blind Ambition

When out campaigning for Rudy G. (I’m tired of trying to spell his last name, so we are done with that here), Perry said he’d prefer Mike Huckabee. Oops! Did I say that? I didn’t mean to, I swear.
Right.
Perry is on the campaign trail for Rudy G. and I wonder if he tells people that [...]

There are worse things I could do…

Huckabee Not a Compassionate Conservative

Presidential candidate and white trash former governor, Mike Huckabee, advocated isolating AIDS patients from the rest of the population. He also thought that celebrities should pay for AIDS research.

I hope you don’t get power from the Pedernales Electric Co-Op

Because those people are misusing corporate funds out the whazoo over there. The board’s president, in a recent deposition, came off like an alzheimer’s patient. He doesn’t go to work, doesn’t have an assistant, no calender, no computer and still pulled in $391,000 in 2006.
The co-op has faced pressure from state Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Horseshoe [...]

Catholics Finally Take A Stand Against Pedophilia

In a coloring book. Check out this page from a coloring book for little Altar boys. Notice the boy is in the Priest’s office taking off his sweater. They pretty much nailed it!

You can see the whole .pdf here.

Hey Y’all, Welcome to your Friday!

Good morning. Look at me…not hungover! Let’s see what’s in the news this morning.
First, I got about ten press releases from the Romney campaign. Apparently, he gave a speech yesterday on religion. He’s comparing it the greatness of a Kennedy speech. His campaign really, really, wants you to know about it. (KXAN)
Not so fast, [...]
