It must be all that time I've worked with right-winger spewing what they just heard on talk radio and not being able to respond without rocking the boat whereas here I can.

Arizona Tea Party senator: Church service should be mandatory to push ‘moral rebirth’

Arizona state Sen. Sylvia Allen (R) derailed a discussion on gun legislation by expressing her support for mandatory church attendance nationwide, KPHO-TV reported.

“Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth,” Allen said during a Senate subcommittee meeting on Tuesday.

According to the Arizona Capitol Times, the bill in question involved allowing licensed concealed-carry weapons owners to bring their firearms into public buildings. The Tea Party senator said she did not understand the measure before offering her opinion on the country’s “moral erosion.”

Make that mandatory to take your gun to church and we're on to something.

CONGRESSWOMAN CLAIMS CLIMATE CHANGE WILL TURN WOMEN INTO PROSTITUTES

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government ... ostitutes/

“disparate impacts of climate change on women,” and goes on to demand that Congress use “gender-sensitive frameworks in developing policies to address climate change.”

She needs some spleef, some religion, some bourbon and some love. Huggies for all.

I'm trying to find Pennsyvania's exact wording on the statute... I can't seem to find it. Here's the list of the individual laws. Some may obviously be written much different than others, so I was curious as to what PA's looked like.

Hollywood, FL pays to get rid of its homeless population.
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/browa ... story.html
Basically, its costing the city 4.8 million to get rid of 100 homeless people for 30 years by shipping them 100s of miles away. People are lauding this as a good thing and in some respects it is. The people get moved into some newer, safe, permanent housing. Interesting that they chose to buy their way out of the problem. I can see both sides in the argument. I mean, they didn't have to do it, but they wanted a cleaner city with room for progress. Interesting.

Is that the same FL town where it was illegal to give food to homeless people?

Nahh, that was right down the street in Ft. Lauderdale. I don't think these numbskulls in local government realize the level of bad publicity this brings to the area. There are a lot of homeless in FL because, lets face it, the weather is conducive to sleeping outside. You don't solve the problem by criminalizing being poor. I understand their position, but I'm sure there's a better way.

I don't know if I buy that fracking is dangerous, but this is interesting.

Two retirees from the Pennsylvania Department of Health say its employees were silenced on the issue of Marcellus Shale drilling.

One veteran employee says she was instructed not to return phone calls from residents who expressed health concerns about natural gas development.

“We were absolutely not allowed to talk to them,” said Tammi Stuck, who worked as a community health nurse in Fayette County for nearly 36 years.

I'm curious as to how much hush hush stuff comes from the higher ups in the science world (government, armed forces, etc) are due to actually not wanting people to know or just thinking it's best that they don't know.

True story: I delivered public comment recently before the MD judiciary subcommittee on a bill which would de facto ban drilling in the state, after having sat through an hour or so of "anti" comments questioning the safety of drilling, most of which was hyperbolic and horribly misinformed... I opened with, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time. My name is so-and-so, I am an operations manager for XYZ O&G services company, I am regularly on drilling locations, pads that are being 'fracked', etc., and based on what I've been hearing today, I guess I should be dead or dying!"

Got a hearty chuckle out of the pros, and a lot of awkward stares from the antis.
