(a GOP stalwart to be sure) is shocked to discover that the voucher bill she just voted for means that state funds will now go to religious schools including Muslim Schools.
"She doan lahk dat" and makes it clear Muslim Madrassas should not get the State Funding that Governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal wants to funnel to parochial schools and every two bit Book Worshipping Kindergarten up and down the Delta.
Most peeps would look at the above link and call Ms. Hodges an idiot.
Humble Elias however sees this as an example of the "praetorian mindset" trickling down to the State Representative's level.
Clearly Rep. Hodges worships power and thinks said power should support and prosecute on behalf of her own personal prejudices. She is so corrupted by power worship that she feels no embarrassment at making this crude notions part of the public record.
Frankly Dick Cheney could not have said it better or more concisely..."Power must reward what I love and punish what I hate and god damn what the law says!"
Good Lord but they are a long ways from Earl K. Long down there....A Long Ways.

Comrade Kim Jon Un
has apparently legalized Mickey Mouse and the Disney version of Winnie the Pooh.
This is what passes for "Reform" in the Famineocracy that is North Korea.
We will know something is up when Bugs Bunny gets recalled from cultural purgatory, but that seems like a long shot, Bugs was and is, a terrific anti-establishment character.
Look up what he did to Herman Goering on Youtube if you don't believe me.
Meanwhile I wonder if Komrade Kim 3.0 paid Disney for the rights to use their characters?
If I was them, I'd pay up, hurling defiance at Washington DC their "puppet fascist clique in Seoul" is one thing, but no one trifles with the copyrights and trademarks of Walt Disney Inc.
Not if they wanna survive and prosper, shit those mooks supposedly "cease and desist" Day Care Centers!

It is an idle article of faith for
Humble Elias, that Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman would love to run for President on a Kamikaze 3rd Partei ticket this year. Really the only thing that restrains him is the sure knowledge that he'd suffer abject humiliation at the polls and likely be consigned to whatever chilly Nifleheim the GOP keeps for rebellious bolters.
So instead, Huntman goes the surly passive aggressive route and loudly proclaims his intention to stay home during the RNC. Other big names that are skipping Romneyfest 2012 include Wrestling Executive & Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon and the Former Senator from Virginia George Allen.
Either of whom would make a dandy vice presidential running mate for a notional Huntsman partei...
Meanwhile, our own Scott Brown is attending the RNC, so I guess he is off Huntsman's list.
I'd love to see what sort of an itinerary Brown will be keeping at the convention, given the closeness of his current polling you just know he doesn't wanna be photographed with Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum or John Boehner etc etc. Other than casting his ballot for Mitt what is Scott gonna do hang around his hotel room and watch TV?

Tim Pawlenty and Piyush "Bobby" Jindal have been
tasked by the Romney Campaign to dog the President's bus tour of Ohio & Pennsylvania as a sort of two-act truth squad.
This is akin to sending up two stool pigeons against a very hungry Pteradactyl...A Pteradactyl in it's prime, I might add.
Jindal is the luckless and charmless Governor of Louisiana whose every screed against "Big Government" usually ends up with him begging the Feds to bail his state out of some monumental disaster.
Pawlenty is a complete nullity, no one within or without Minnesota can recall a single thing he has done as Governor moreover most voters therein are hard pressed even to recall that he ran for President very briefly this year.
Both men are auditioning for the Vice Presidency to put it simply, their chief qualification seems to be either of them makes Mitt Romney look like Mick Jagger in the charisma department.

Prof. Cunningham has a interesting
piece about Grover Norquist's ironclad "no taxes" pledge the one that gets foisted on almost every GOP candidate for Dog Catcher and above, all the way up to Scott Brown and Mitt Romney.
Well, of course, Romney would pledge his soul to Lucifer to win this fall, and Scott Brown likely reads very little of what is put before him for signature what with all his family commitments.
My own view is that Norquist's pledge originates in passive aggression, in that compelling the congressional wing of the GOP to eschew all tax increases is supposed to somehow shame congress into making radical budget cuts along the lines of the myth of small gummint when the deficits explode.
The problem with this scenario is, congress is a pretty shameless institution from the git-go they will tax and spend and or tax-cut and spend or do whatever the hell they want sans demure.
Far from being a means to cut spending and shrink government down, the Norquist pledge has really been a license for the GOP to "go mental".
Thus we get governance that is neither sparse nor budgets that are balanced but we do end up with a political milieu that is largely the externalization of Grover Norquist's disordered and neurotic psyche.

Rush Limbaugh proclaimed in 2010 that
he'd leave the country if HCR was ever enacted and upheld.
I think some of us bloggers up here in Boston ought to organize a fundraiser to buy him a plane ticket. Perhaps a $50 a head screening of "The Sweet Smell of Success" or "The Man with the Golden Arm"....
Limbaugh could broadcast from the back of one of those no-questions-asked pharmacies he loves so much in Haiti....

There is a biiiig front page article in
Today's Globe detailing Former State Senator Scott Brown's bonhomie with his fabled "House Full of Women" (Wife, two daughters or is it three...can't keep track, daughters seem to be preferred issue of US politicians for some reason)...The man fairly lactates freely in this piece.
Well building up some appeal for female voters by depicting oneself as a humble co-equal partner in a marriage, is an old GOP political ploy.
While said politician is hugging his wife and driving his kids to field hockey practice he is usually simultaneously throwing all other women under the policy bus.
The nadir of this ploy is self evident, as Brown famously voted against HCR in the US Senate thus potentially denying care to millions of faceless female citizens but then turns around and blatantly uses HCR's own generous tenets to keep daughter Ayla covered under his own plan.
As Humble Elias has said before, hypocrisy works, especially for Scott Brown. However at the very least, let us try to distinguish between the man's devotion to his own family and his blatant disregard for the woes and needs everyone else's family.
