Someone needs to explain to Greg Abbott where babies come from

Margaret, I hear the fall colors up there in Maine rival the beauty of my spring wild flowers down here in Texas. Well, I find that hard to believe ’cause our wild flowers are mighty pretty. Maybe we’ll have to agree to disagree. But do you know what else I find hard to believe? That Texas could have a Governor more stupid than Rick Perry or even George Bush.

I shudder to think that Tweedle Dee followed Tweedle Dumb in our State Capitol, but this confederacy of dunces is only going to get worse if we elect Greg Abbott this fall. (For those of you who don’t live here, he’s our esteemed Attorney General who is running for Governor against Wendy Davis.)

Yesterday, Abbott argued that the state’s ban on same sex marriage would reduce the number of babies born out of wedlock. Evidently, heterosexuals won’t have unprotected sex as long as Ellen and Portia can’t file jointly in Texas on the off chance they move here. Thank goodness because I had given up on the idea that heterosexuals would ever get on the condom band wagon. Bless his heart. Abbott can’t help being stupid, but he could have stayed home.

And send every republican member of congress (and some democrats) a copy of "What to Expect When You Are Expecting".

It's easy to read, generally pro-birth so not overly threatening, but well grounded in medical fact.

Not sure it would do any good, but it couldn't hurt either.

Republicans a lot more than it scares us. These things are eventually going to doom the Republican party, in the mean time they will cause a lot of misery. But, eventually it will be the ending of their nonsense. We really don't have to worry that this kind of thing is going to hurt the Democratic Party.

If the gheys are not allowed to marry, they will use more condoms and the straight people, who practice natural sex, will encounter a shortage of condoms. More traditional sex couples will have babies due to the condom shortage.

On the other hand, if the gheys were permitted to marry, they won't have the need to use condoms, and more condoms will be available to opposite sex couples. The net result is less babies, except among the brown couples, who screw like bunnies.

I had that revelation shortly after a tree fell on my head.

He thinks it's the role of government to prevent promiscuity.

I mean,...think about it.

Homosexuals set a bad example because straight people will think it's open season to have FUN.

That cannot be allowed.

People need to be like Republicans.

Dry clean only.

Let's hope Wendy Davis can unseat him come next month.
