Senator Shortey – OK, You’re CRAZY. Embryos in Food??!
Crazy. Not a term one should use lightly, I’m told. That doesn’t stop it from being a regular part of this 80′s kid’s vocabulary. However, in this case there really is no other fitting word.
CRAZY.
I was reading through the website of Komo4News.com when stumbled across an article titled:
“Okla. senator wants ban on human fetuses in food”
Yeah. You read it twice, didn’t you. I did. Then I read it again REALLY slowly — just to be sure I read it right. I did. You did, too.
I’m shamed to admit this man is a Republican. Oklahoma, get this boy out of the office.
A Republican state senator from Oklahoma City introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban the use of aborted human fetuses in food, despite conceding that he’s unaware of any company using such a practice
Of ALL THE IDIOTIC THINGS I HAVE READ, HEARD, or SEEN TODAY [and I watched the 2012 State of the Union Address by President Obama], this is by FAR the dumbest thing I’ve read in 2012.
Oh, and it gets better:
He also offered an amendment to a bill that would have allowed legislators to carry firearms anywhere in the state, including the floor of the House and Senate.
AND (Yeah. There’s MORE):
This year, Shortey has introduced a bill seeking a public vote on amending the Oklahoma Constitution to abolish the Court of Criminal Appeals.
I have decided to do a little research on this boy. Clearly to be this ignorant, or feel such trivial matters are worth consideration you must have reached the age of senility.
WHAT?! REALLY!!?
Well, then maybe this man knows what he’s talking about. Maybe he’s just ahead of his time in thought processes.
Damn It, Oklahoma!!
I was hoping that right now I’d go to Senator Shortey’s website to see that maybe there was more to this man than meets the eye. Seriously, I was looking for SOME redemtion for the man {maybe learn that they just didn’t put anything in the “Education” field yet). Instead, I was greeted with a poorly designed website and the hope that with my webskills and carnal internet knowledge I could go in to District 44 and run for his Senate Seat and WIN! Because clearly these people are uneducated idiots:
I hear crickets.
What does this man stand for? I have no idea. Apparently he was
First elected in 2010 to a heavily Hispanic district on the city’s south side, Shortey has grabbed headlines with other bills he’s introduced that have not become law. He sponsored a measure last year to crack down on illegal immigrants by authorizing law enforcement to seize their homes and vehicles, and to deny Oklahoma citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants.
Awesome job. A Hispanic area elected him, and then he basically said “GET OUT!” – OR he was elected by the non-Hispanics who could vote, and then just created a super hostile living environment for the non-Hispanics vs the Hispanics.
Either way… THIS GUY IS NUTS.
$1,025.
$1,025.
That’s all it would take to take the Online “Constitutional Law” class for undergraduate credit at Harvard. I have a child, I’ll never actually be able to attend Harvard. At least not until she’s 18. And at that rate, I’ll be 42. While thats the universal answer to everything — it is not the answer to my education.
But, along with saving the cash to get my pilots license for my birthday — I’ll be saving up my pennies for that class. I’ve heard more than once its a great class to take, but I do not want to wait to the possibility of law school to take it, and I do NOT want to take it at the Community College level. I want a challenge. Community College is not as challenging as I would really like it to be.
Working!
So, after 300 applications, and three interviews I’ve gained two jobs. Currently I’m waiting for the background check on one. . . and then I’ll be working in a call center 1hour and 20 minutes away from my home, but for $5/hour more than I’m currently making as a Target Over-Night Team Member. That is VERY much worth the drive.
I got to work today [it felt GREAT to finally be DOING something!] wearing my tattoos visibly, which I love — but yes, my shirt at work covered more than the one below. I don’t expect I’ll often wear shirts low enough to show the whole tattoo, at least without some liquid courage.
I was stopped by a few employees [women, I doubt the men would dare] to check out my newest tattoo:
On my way home I stopped by the gas station after work this morning at 7:45 (I worked from 4:30a – 7:30a, for training. Can I just say that is FAR too early!!) and the employee working LOVED my tattoo and emphasized that she’d be telling EVERYBODY how awesome it is. I was completely exhausted, but that nice lady made my morning, early as it was.
