OK that's it, let's just kill all the queers before gay marriage leads to ... animal husbandry

From Classically Liberal:

Apparently goat fucking is a problem in Florida. At least Sen. Nan Rich thought so. She was horrified to find out that bestiality is not a crime in Florida. While the Florida legislature, in their infinite wisdom, did ban gay couples from adopting children, they never got around to criminalizing bestiality—I suspect the latter hits too close to home while the former does not....

Sen. Rich went absurd when she said: “There’s a tremendous correlation between sexually deviant behavior and crimes against children and crimes against animals. This is long overdue. These are heinous crimes. And people belong in jail.”...

While Senator Rich was tripping over her own tongue, and making false statistical claims, the height of dumbth was reached by her fellow Democrat, Sen. Larcenia Bullard. Apparently the legislation that Rich is proposing makes it illegal to derive, or help others derive, “sexual gratification” from an animal. But there is some clause in the law saying that conventional dog-judging contests and animal-husbandry practices remain legal. Odd clauses, but then Sen. Rich is not particularly bright, as we’ve already seen.

However, the mere mention of animal husbandry put Sen. Bullard, or is that Dullard, into a frenzy. She shouted out: “People are taking these animals as their husbands! What’s husbandry?” Duh!

Fellow-legislator Sen. Charlie Dean attempted to explain to dullard Bullard that husbandry is the care and raising of animals. But Bullard was still hung up on the idea that people were marrying animals. Referring to the chimpanzee attack in Connecticut she said, “So that maybe was the reason the lady was so upset about that monkey?” Sure, that’s it. The chimp was her husband and the woman was upset because the police killed her husband. Exactly how dumb do you have to be to get elected in Florida?


And as my nomination for best philosophical musing of the day (in the category of What thoughts would social conservatives most object to?), here's a delightful little paragraph I cut out of the above for the sake of brevity:

Personally, I find human relationships quite complex enough and have no desire to walk on the wild side, But I’m not entirely convinced that said activities, as revolting as they tend to be, are a matter of criminality. Surely if one can eat an animal, and that goes on constantly, then a little hanky-panky is not nearly as severe. I personally would prefer ending up in someone’s bed as opposed to finding myself on his or her dinner plate. On the other hand I can’t say I’m strongly opposed to the law. There are thousands of laws far worse currently on the books. No doubt Nan Rich helped passed many of them.


Ah, it's Monday.

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
