Juanita on Charlie Howard and the Creationism - too funny
http://www.brazosriver.com/#March_14

March 14 - Just when you recover from Tom DeLay talking like an uneducated snake-handling backwoods hick who thinks the rooster really does make the sun rise, along comes Tom’s best buddy, State Representative Charlie Howard. The following was published in a statewide magazine.



No, really. I’m fryin’ if I’m lyin’. Charlie Howard thinks that way.
Short dose of reality for Charlie: The Pythagorean theory is also a theory, but dagnabbit, if you’re going to compute the hypotenuse of a right triangle, there’s not much else that works as good.
Gravity is a theory. I can almost promise you that things don’t fall to the ground because of some magic mojo voodoo thing that Delilah said to Goliath. Gravity is just a theory, but I wouldn’t pick a fight with it if I were you because it’s got better than even odds that it’s gonna win.
This is what happens when we let political scientists mess with real science. They think it’s magic.
Polite suggestions for politicians: If you don’t understand science, shuddup about it because you look like an idiot. Impolite suggestion for politicians: Quit making God look like a tiny little freak with a personality disorder. God is bigger than your head, and that, you twit, is no theory.

1. I know you've seen this already WHD
Still it's too funny not to repeat. PDittie has it up on his blog too, and it was posted on DU sometime recently too

On March 1st, in Annapolis MD, at a hearing on a proposed constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, a professor of law at American University and candidate for the Maryland state Senate, was requested to testify. At the end of his testimony, Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "As I read Biblical principles, marriage was intended, ordained and started by God -- that is my belief. For me, this is an issue solely based on religious principals."

Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

The room erupted in applause.


:spank:

Charlie Howard needs that kind of spanking.

4. Not all of you are lucky enough to be represented by both DeLay and Howard

BUT I AM.

What in God's name did I do to deserve this?? I am a good woman, I swear I am.

Yes, he gets re-elected every single damn time in this God forsaken corner of the universe.

Sugar Land, TX. The whole nine yards of right-wing Christian fundamental, non-sensical, leave your brain behind, sheep falling over the cliff bastion of conservatism.
