I don't blame her for walking out slowly from a room full of nutjobs.... LOL

Touche.

The NC?

I meant to say Congressional Caucus:

Quite simply, Rep. Cohen will have to accept what the rest of the country will have to accept—there has been an unofficial Congressional White Caucus for over 200 years, and now it's our turn to say who can join 'the club.' He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color. Primarily, we are concerned with the needs and concerns of the black population, and we will not allow white America to infringe on those objectives.

I don't agree with it, but until folks are treated the same, this will endure.

So blacks can not join the Congressional caucus?

So blacks can not join the Congressional caucus?

You should ask them. Seems like racism is ok depending on the flow of traffic.

Apparently even Republicans who VOTED for this measure are now trying to pressure the Gov to veto it. Ah, these people.

Pure comedy. You can't make this shite up.

Arizona Confronting Awkward Realization That Gay People Have Money, Buy Stuff

PHOENIX (The Borowitz Report)—The state of Arizona found itself in the middle of a conundrum today as it awoke to the awkward realization that gay people have money and buy stuff.

Just days after the Arizona legislature passed a law that would enable businesses to discriminate against gays, it emerged that gays spend billions of dollars in Arizona each year—an unexpected development that seemed to take many legislators by surprise.

Carol Foyler, a Tea Party Republican who supported the anti-gay law, said that the startling bombshell that gays play a role in the state’s economy put her and her fellow lawmakers “in a tight spot.”

“Quite frankly, we were blindsided by this,” she said. “We had no idea that gays had money and bought things just like regular people do.”

Acknowledging that her vote for the anti-gay law might have been calamitous for the state’s economy, Ms. Foyler placed the blame for it squarely on the shoulders of one group: the gays themselves.

“How was I supposed to know what gay people do with their money, etc., when I don’t personally know any gay people?” she asked. “I’m sorry, but it was up to the gays to tell us.”

The Borowitz Report is satire.

That's prob for the best.

The Borowitz Report is satire.

In the case of Arizona, the difference between news and satire is quite hard to tell.

Looks like common sense and compassion wins the day.

Good, now if they can just stay away from this stupidity for a while and quit wasting tax payer money debating something that's pointless and stupid.

This wasn't about common sense. This was about self-preservation for the governor. Arizona was about to turn gay.

Mass Gay Migration Aims to Make Arizona Majority Gay

PHOENIX — Rejecting calls to boycott Arizona, a newly formed gay organization is mobilizing its members to move to the state by the millions in the hopes of transforming it into the nation’s first majority gay state.

The group, called Americans for a Gay Arizona, has already received commitments from a million gay Americans to move to the state within the next two months, with a target of enlisting over six million gays to move there by the end of the year.

Harland Dorrinson, the executive director of the group, said that the influx of six million gays would be “more than enough” to insure that Arizona would be majority gay, but he acknowledged that he did not have an exact figure of how many gays currently reside there.

“We think it could be as many as a million,” he said. “But if you add in conservative politicians, that number could go much higher.”

According to one associate of Governor Jan Brewer, the plan to move six million gays to Arizona is shaping up to be the governor’s worst nightmare.

“She’s always been against immigration, but nothing like this,” the associate said.

Whew, that was a close call.
