Rick Perry jabs at New York in effort to lure businesses

As he’s embarked on a trip through the northeast this week to convince employers to move to Texas, Perry is front and center in a series of ads that accuse New York of over-regulating and over-burdening businesses, take digs at New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s policies, and mention New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in an unflattering context.

“If you’re tired of the same old recipe of over-taxation, over-regulation and frivolous ligation, get out before you go broke. Texas is calling,” Perry declares in the ads.

Bloomberg’s proposed large soda ban is featured one spot. And in a another, Perry accuses “bureaucrats” of “telling you whether you can even drink a Big Gulp.”

Women’s health advocates horrified as Perry signs ‘draconian’ abortion bill into law

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) signed a sweeping set of abortion restrictions into law Thursday morning, drawing a wave of revulsion, shock and horror from women’s health and civil liberties advocates across the nation.

Chants of “Shame!” could be heard echoing through the Texas Capitol as Perry signed the bill, according to CNN. It seemed the protesters, locked out of Thursday’s signing ceremony, could do nothing more than shout after weeks of an intense Democratic mobilization unlike anything seen in Texas for decades.

Despite their efforts, and temporary success in blocking the bill’s passage during the first special session, Republicans simply ignored the crowds and outmaneuvered the small minority of Democrats after Perry called the legislature back.

As of today, abortions are now banned in Texas after 20 weeks of pregnancy and all but five of the abortion providers in the state officially face closure by 2014 if the law is upheld in court.

Texas, where the only thing that is regulated are the women.

Geller has a pathological obsession with Muslims, to the point that it’s basically a monomania. Over time, she’ll become increasingly unhinged - yes, she’s hasn’t arrived at her ultimate destination - so I’d say Geller would win, just for sheer insanity.

These demons weren’t hiding behind bushes, they were out in the street; they were in the streets possessing the people who were demanding the right to murder babies.

I hope this is sinking in to our audience of the severity of the Satanic attack that the church is under right now. Make now mistake about what is happening; this is raw Satanic sewage coming up out of Hell. The sewer pipes of Hell have broken open and this is raw hate against Jesus Christ, against God, against the Bible, against righteous men and women, against life, against anything that is good and decent.

This is the face of the Obamanista revolution and this is only the beginning. This is only the beginning of what these people have planned.

That space cadet glow.
I’ve got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn’t well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We’re gonna find out where you folks really stand.

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There’s one in the spotlight, he don’t look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one’s a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There’s one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I’d have all of you shot!

There was a nice riff on that in an old Jack L Chalker SF book “And the Devil Will Drag You Under”. Parallel realities story and in one of the worlds a main character incarnates as a vampire. He meets another vampire* who tells him that he (the character) had become undead because when he got a serious injury in a big football game half the crowd was wishing he would pull through, and half were wishing he would die. Since magic worked there he came out half and half.

* - The vampire he met had been the mayor of New York. ;)

My grandfather was arrested for carrying a loaded rifle into the White House (true story). My dad was about 5 or 6 years old at the time, and they went to take a tour. My grandfather’s truck didn’t lock, and because he was afraid someone would steal his gun, he carried it with him into the White House (this was back in 1940). He was summarily arrested, and according to my father, he sat on grandpa’s lap in court and testified about his daddy not wanting his gun stolen. Grandpa got his gun back and charges dropped.

Still, he was one paranoid guy, my grandpa. Wrote a book about different radiation types and how they were dangerous. I used to have a copy (it was about 40-50 pages, pocket sized, hard cover). It had his pencil edits for future versions he never wrote. One that I can recall from memory was something along the following striking original and bolding penciled edit:

Gamma rays can kill you. If someone points a gamma ray device at you, shoot that man with a load of buckshotSON OF A BITCH.

Mark Twain hit this point hard in his War Prayer.

…

You have heard your servant’s prayer — the uttered part of it. I am commissioned of God to put into words the other part of it — that part which the pastor — and also you in your hearts — fervently prayed silently. And ignorantly and unthinkingly? God grant that it was so! You heard these words: ‘Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!’ That is sufficient. the *whole* of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory—*must* follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!

O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle — be Thou near them! With them — in spirit — we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it — for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

“Baseball season resumes tonight. Which reminds me of how baseball’s radar guns are just like Obama’s drones.”

“Baseball season doesn’t start up until tomorrow. Which reminds me of how the Obama sequester ended White House tours for little kids.”

Cafe Press doesn’t carry one. If you want to work up a hoodie, I’ll get my wife a couple for when she teaches classes.

You are awesome, but I’ve decided not to promote St Thomas.

I’ll be on the lookout for a similar quote tho. NO worries.

What was he, nuts? I mean, look at women - they’re beautiful!

Men? Not so much. Funny looking, more like. Especially with all the hair and the outdoor plumbing. Yeesh.

Could only be spoken by one who has never carried a pregnancy, given birth or been the primary caregiver of infants and small children.

Passive is not what I would describe it as.

Perhaps a more recent Catholic thinker:

“Women think with their whole bodies and they see things as a whole more than men do.”
Dorothy Day

Wiles: ‘Raw Satanic Sewage Coming Up Out Of Hell’ Ran Through The Streets Of Austin During Abortion Legislation Protests

How do adults listen to horseshit of this magnitude and not laugh themselves sick?

It’s often said, “think of how stupid the average American is, now bear in mind that half of them are worse than that”. And I try not to think about it, but every so often something like this comes along and forces me to face that fact. People take this guy seriously. There are adult humans, with all the same rights and privileges and responsibilities as I have, that actually believe this man as telling the literal truth, rather than seeing him as a sad clown going through a pathetic routine.

About…. oh, ten years or so ago I went on a trip with my good childhood friend to Utah; we were going out to spend two weeks with his dad’s side of the family. I hadn’t been warned beforehand, but these folks were hardcore baptists. We went to one of their church services, in this tiny little one-room roadside church, with a congregation consisting of his dad’s family near and extended, a couple of neighbor families, and his grandfather as the preacher.

They had a section of their service where we read some random part of the bible, I forget which, and then had a big ‘share what I think this passage means’ session. By the end of it, when I’d said my piece, I got a lot of approving nods and people commenting on how insightful it was.

I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I was an atheist that had been bullshitting them for the past 15 minutes.

Upding for having the fortitude to wade through Salon comments. While I’ve read some thoughtful, insightful posts, it’s usually an episode of Turbo Charged Troll Time. Actually, I’m having difficulty with most Salon articles anymore. I mostly scroll quickly.

Here’s a similar quote I came across some time ago:

“Never trust a man who reads only one book.”

― Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Purity of Blood

I haven’t read the book, but the review made it sound interesting.
