Interesting and funny as usual, Mike. Saw this today as well. I guess the pink slime has made it so much cheaper they can make it exponentially larger too. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/a-fast-food-soda-is-six-times-bigger-than-it-was-60-years-ago/2012/05/24/gJQA23JxmU_blog.html

I can’t tell anyone what to do with their body, but unless you were raped you got yourself knocked up and you should follow through and just give the baby up for adoption. There are many who wish to adopt, including gay couples. It’s like getting a letter from the Selective Service to sign up for the draft. It’s something unpleasant that you have to do.

Comment on Does Rick Santorum Deserve To Be A Father? by Lois

As a single person, I am sick of having to work to support someone else’s children. I am sick of having my car vandalized by someone’s underage brat and not being able to retaliate. People like the Santorums shouldn’t be allowed to leech off the taxpayers. If you took away all their spousal benefits and child tax write-offs they would be living in grinding poverty–where they belong. Imagine how some gay person feels who is taxed to death to support and educate everyone else’s children, then these very same brats assault them and their property.

Nice. I’m wondering if there is a website that publishes all the crazy ass legislation that state lawmakers propose and if so, who’s at the top.

This is despicable and typical demonstration of you idiots writing blogs about things you don’t know anything about. Andrei Cherny would be an outstanding Congressman for
Arizona and is probably under so much criticism because he is honest and fair. Not a common find in our political world today! We have politicians and elected officials who are a disgrace to our state and you use the one person, RG, as an example and the only thing he has is a huge ego and a million degrees.

It’s time to move on. We should try an election without slander and see who wins.
Whatever happened to what we were taught “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Obviously, you’ve been seriously mistreated in your lifetime!

Comment on Yes We Have Did Impeached Democracy by Eric Wincentsen

Scary thing is that Jan Brewer is nowhere near the worst governor we’ve ever had. Babbitt was just as bad at doing nothing, Mecham was a loony, Moffett let murderers free because she couldn’t bother to read what she was signing, Symington (probably the best one I remember) was indicted, Jane Hull blew all the state’s money on “alternative fuel” vehicles when no one used the alternative fuel and Napolitano spent what little was left after Hull got done raping us. Brewer is almost a breath of fresh air. Granted, the air is largely coming from between her ears, but still.

As for the Election Commission, that’s exactly why I voted for it – so this wouldn’t happen. Supposed to be two Republicans, two Democrats and one whacko fringe dweller – er, third party representative – to keep gerrymandering from happening. And from what I heard this wasn’t horrid. They just had to fix the whole thing where they hooked Fountain Hills up with Yuma or something. Not even a big fix. No need for an impeachment. Silly, unnecessary overreaction.

Another hilarious article….so sad it’s all true and not fiction. Well, they say you can either laugh or cry. I’ve done enough crying so I might as well laugh. It’s not a cure (darn it) but your article can help me make it one more day here in Arizona.

Comment on Republicans May Not All Be Pedophiles, But Damn If They Don’t Love Screwing Kids-Part One by Julie Jorgensen

Thanks for the great expose! I can’t wait to read what you have to say about Arizona schools. I can vouch for the fact that our state leaders have pretty much single handedly dismantled Adult Education here in Arizona. We are currently the only state in the entire U.S. of A to have ALL of it’s Adult Ed funds cut (as recommended by outgoing Sup. of Public Instruction Tom Horne) He threw us under the bus I was told (by a higher up in the ADE) to save his precious K-12 programs. Too bad because just a year later the Legislature went ahead and slashed those programs as well (and right after promising not to in exchange for another 1 cent tax increase.) Boy, you would think the citizens of Arizona would have a clue by now that the Republican leadership of Arizona pretty much wants to destroy public education (as you so aptly pointed out in your article). I never would have believed it but I am watching it before my very eyes. I’ve always thought it was interesting (as well as absurd) that our last two “Supes” of Public Instruction were not even educators. Which amazes me since I am. I jumped through all the state hoops to be a state certified teacher and have a teaching certificate yet the person in charge of all teachers not only doesn’t have to have any teaching experience, they don’t have any type of certification to show they are actually qualified to make important decisions about education. So, like I mentioned before…can’t wait to see your next installment.
