Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Talton the same dickhead he always was

Representative Robert Talton (R-Pasedena) has frequently amazed me at his asshole-ishness. When he gleefully noted a word missing in the CHIP bill he got it booted back to committee. Furthering his hatred of children and poor people he told the Houston Chronicle "Let them eat government cheese."

How come rabid pro-life people are only pro-life from conception to birth and then don't give a flying fuck if the children are poor, uninsured, living in squalor or being abused? It's fascinating, really.

Because once a child is born, he or she is inherently sinful and is rtherefore esponsible for pulling himself up by his own bootie-straps. Sheesh, Pink Dome, don't you believe in Jesus?

When will this State be blue again? Just another example that the Republicans will lose ground in upcoming elections. They don't care about anyone (kids, students, parents, the poor, disabled, etc.) and are drunk on power. This power is about to get erased in DC, AMEN!

You know that point of order was conveniently placed there by house leadership, don't you? I'll leave it to you to figure out why. . . .

"How come rabid pro-life people are only pro-life from conception to birth"

Actually, they only care about the womb, and the tomb, and nothing in between. Unless it has to do with prosperity theology, that is.

He got on the elevator with me the other day, coming down from 2, and he barked at me to "push G!" Like a good little servant I did, but I totally crop dusted him when I got off on 1 so he could have a few moments to breathe in the warm goodness. Prick.
