Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

I look like I care

I know, it came as a shock to me, too. This morning I was standing outside the North entrance to the capitol when a tourist asked me "Where is the fifth child?" I thought she was some weirdo activist and it took me a while to realize she was talking about the sculpture of the kids there on the North side. Apparently one has gone missing. I say someone search Dan Patrick's office.

I looked over there and told the lady the governor had it removed because of cutbacks in CHIP resulted in a higher uninsured rate for children and its removal was symbolic of how the state hurts innocent kids. She almost bought it but huffed off before I could tell her the truth.

Priceless!
But it is a shame you let her stalk off without informing her of the original plan to include 12 children - representing the descendants of the 12 disciples that will survive the anti-Christ - but the godless secularists had their way,,,,,

Give Patrick something new to rant about...

I hope the poor kid didn't wander too near Arlene Wohlgemuth's gingerbread house...
