News Briefs

News you can use all day

(Petunia and Pals) If it is Thursday, it must be Malkkkin. In today’s episode, she takes on Chris Rock, Sandra Fluke, and Damon Wayons.

  • It’s Baaa-aack! - Wingnuttia (Michigan Chapter) has introduced legislation requiring all women to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound before obtaining an abortion. So how’s that rebranding effort working out for you, fellas? (TPM)
  • War on Women, Cont. - So down in Dixie (Dicks-y?) Alabama state Sen. Shadrack McGill (R-Sisterf***) lamented that “you can be charged up to $250,000 for destroying an eagle egg, but you can destroy babies in the womb?” So he is pursuing another personhood bill because the Bible proves that a fetus “is life inside of a mother.” Now of course, being a good old boy, he’s not playing God, he’s just not sure if aborted babies are going to Heaven or Hell. I will repeat myself: How’s that rebranding effort working out for you fellas? (Raw Story)
  • Isn’t it Romantic - A Jewelry Store in South Carolina is promoting Valentine’s Day with a free shotgun with a $1500 purchase:

    “A shotgun as a Valentine’s Day present I think a lot of guys would like and the girl gets jewelry too so I think it’s a win for both.”

    Sexism AND violence! Win-win! (TPM)

    I know that the NRA published their enemies list from the pages of their fourth period science class, and telling it was.
    What would be just as telling is if the NRA published their “friends” list. I am pretty certain it is much shorter, and growing shorter by the day.

    “I don’t know a dad who wears mom jeans” sez the Malk about the Prez, & then describes Bruce Willis’s blather (Good to know there’s another Chuck Norris on the horizon, isn’t it?) as “common sense from Tinsel Town.”
