Oh, man, Kyso wrote the funniest post for you guys today. I’m still wiping the tears from my eyes.
Everyone really would’ve liked it (especially the part about the alleged molestation ring over at Townhall.com), but I’m afraid it couldn’t be posted. Turns out we have a little-known rule requiring all PAB posts to be reviewed by a board of semi-intelligent geese before release. Her failure to follow this rule compels me to scrap the offending material. After all, if it isn’t properly evaluated by water fowl, how can we be sure it won’t fry your brain with Satanic idolatry?
I’d like to thank the Oklahoma House of Representatives for encouraging me to invent rules on the fly to arbitrarily restrict the flow of information. They set the bar for this sort of censorship pretty high today:
Literature which criticizes anti-abortion bills pending in the state House of Representatives was barred from the chamber today. House officials are also trying to stop the literature from being distributed to state lawmakers’ offices.
Turns out the literature lacked the Cliff Clavin seal of approval:
House spokesman Damon Gardenire says the chamber requires that literature distributed to lawmakers first be filed with the chamber’s post office to verify it is not obscene, pornographic or a solicitation.
Anyone wanna bet this little tidbit would be news to just about anyone who ever distributed material amongst the decision-making adults of Oklahoma? It sure seemed to be news to the pro-choice activist:
The head of an anti-abortion group says he didn’t know about the post office rule even though his group regularly distributes material at the Capitol. And he says he used to clear materials through the majority leaders office but was later told that isn’t necessary if the material is clearly identified with the name, address and phone number of the person distributing it.
When it comes to combatting women’s rights, Oklahoma doesn’t just stop at blocking material distribution. Unlike backwards-ass Mississippi, who technically has to wait until Roe’s repealed before abortion’s illegal even in the case of incest, the O-K state’s going after the uterus right here, right now. The House’s pending legislation would restrict abortion performance in state facilities, require extra premiums to be paid for abortion to be covered by insurance, and “change the definition of abortion to include a method in which a drug is injected into the heart of a fetus to cause death.”
Huh. I wonder if a “working to regulations” protest can be made.
“Could you read this copy of the Encyclopaedia Britannica before I send CDs out to the representatives please?”
Also, I’d like to note my dismay that Kyso’s been gagged by the gaggle.
The worst part is that the geese that are assigned to my posts are only semi-literate in Russian, so just getting the request paperwork filled out takes like three days and costs $50 for every page translated.
Junk Science’s posts, however, get rubber stamped right through. Funny, that.
Townhall.com and I are like this.
“Townhall.com and I are like this.”
Do you finish each other’s sentences?…
Why don’t they just declare that women do not have rights to their bodies? They could set it up so it’s like water rights – you don’t get them unless your deed specifically says so…
Hey, it’s why Texas doesn’t float into the Gulf of Mexico!
Do you finish each other’s sentences?…
Absolutely.
“The greatest threat to life as we know it is ___________.”
a) gays
b) Mexicans
c) liberals
d) the AP
I fixed your answers: e) All of the above…
My problem with Townhall links, or Malkin/Coulter/etc. links is I won’t follow them. I can’t stand the idea that I would give them extra traffic.
I know it’s nonsensical – you have to understand what the loonies are saying for self defense, and one more guy looking isn’t noticeable, but I can’t bring myself to do it.
I’m afraid that much stupidity might be contagious…
