Riding upon a chariot of Hummers driven by bald eagles, Mississippi Rep. Steve Holland filed a guns blazing cowboy steak of a bill, proudly waving our nation’s red, white and God-fearing blue to protect our American coastal waters. This week, Holland introduced H.B. 150 to Mississippi’s House of Representatives Marine Resources Committee — a bill that, in summary, would “for all official purposes” rename the Gulf of Mexico (or “body of water south of Mississippi”) the “Gulf of America.”
It’s arrogance and nonsense of this sort which makes the rest of the world shake their head in disbelief at the U.S. and opens up the door to well-deserved mockery. And no, Mr. Holland is not a Republican. He’s a Democratic state Rep. which implies that,
a) Republicans don’t have a complete monopoly on the wingnut brand (pretty damn close, though)
or
b) This is the sort of ‘Freedom Fries’ mentality required to get elected as a Democrat in Mississippi.
UPDATE
Dems can breath easier. It turns out that Republicans do fully own that wingnut brand.
State Rep. Steve Holland wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America for “official purposes within the state of Mississippi,” but not for reasons you may expect.
Holland, D-Plantersville, says the measure aims to mock anti-immigrant legislation that he finds mean-spirited and insignificant. Newly elected Gov. Phil Bryant supports legislation to allow the state to crack down on immigration. Republicans won control of the Mississippi House last November.
I’m not changing my map. Sadly, it still reflects the thinking of too many Americans.
Anyone who has ever tried to teach a cow anything knows how damn frustrating it can be. These animals love to play stupid and simply refuse to focus on anything for longer than a millisecond…or at least that’s been my experience growing up on a farm with my beloved Betsy.
I lie. I’m a city boy…but I’m sure it would have been my experience had I been raised on a farm. In any case, our prayers have been answered. If you want a cow to do your bidding simply bring along a jazz band. Watch.
Out of the tragic flooding episode in Queensland, Australia comes this story. Let it serve as a warning to all.
A bizarre decision to ride an inflatable doll down a flood-swollen Yarra River blew up in a woman’s face yesterday when she lost her latex playmate in a rough patch.
The incident prompted a warning from police that blow-up sex toys are “not recognised flotation devices’’.
Police and a State Emergency Services crew were called to the rescue when the woman and a man, both 19, struck trouble at Warrandyte North about 4.30pm yesterday.
They were floating down the river on two inflatable dolls and had just passed the Pound Bend Tunnel when the woman lost her toy in turbulent water.
She clung to a floating tree, calling for help while the man stayed with her. Fortunately for the pair, a passer-by called triple zero while while a kayaker took life jackets to the pair. Police and the SES crew hauled the water-logged thrillseekers to safety.
[...]
The rescued pair were checked by ambulance officers but did not require medical attention.
‘‘The fate of the inflatable dolls is unknown,’’ said Senior Constable Wilson.
I’ll bet you $5 and jar of Vegemite that the Australian government soon starts forcing manufacturers to print a ‘Warning: Not a flotation device‘ label on all inflatable sex dolls. We live in a sick sick world.
Two of the scientists involved in “Climategate” – the e-mail hacking incident at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, UK – have been emailed death threats since the contents of their private e-mails were leaked to the world. No further information can be revealed about these particular threats at present because they are currently under investigation with the FBI in the United States.
Many other CRU scientists and their colleagues have received torrents of abusive and threatening e-mails since the leaks first began in mid-November 2009. Tom Wigley, previous Director of CRU and now at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, US, has been horrified by the e-mails he and other colleagues have received. “They are truly stomach-turning and show what sort of venomous monsters we are up against,” he told environmentalresearchweb.
