Heh!

[ceile]

1. That's awesome! k&r

[lunatica]

2. Well that's right in your, uh, face!

It says it all though. I think I can guess what side the publication is taking on the issue.

Wow!

[kentauros]

26. The Texas Observer is a well-known Liberal publication in Texas.

Molly Ivins worked for them at one time, even as editor

[SamG]

3. WOW, I hope each and every Texan sees this!

Especially, those who hold elective office.

[Spazito]

4. Wow and AWESOME!

There is no subtlety in that cover nor should there be. Kudos to the Observer for providing an accurate and powerful visual for what is happening.

5. Wow am at a loss for words. But it does says it all.

[frogmarch]

6. Wow! That is one

powerful cover!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. Excellent.

I suppose it would have been too much to have the man between her legs holding up a transducer.

[malaise]

8. Freaking perfect

9. Like the good old boys in Virginia, same atmosphere:

Not trying to bump that thread, but this is the attitude women are up against, the brazen sense of hubris and entitlement.

Hey, little lady, what's wrong? It's just a little fun, can't you take a joke? A poke? A jab? Where's your sense of humor? You liberal women are no fun, just lay there and enjoy it.

This picture is good plain, Texas talking. Molly would definitely agree. I miss her.

10. The Liberals in Texas are outnumbered

and that only makes them more ferocious. K&R!

[Chakab]

16. Demographics in Texas are shifting rapidly.

It might be a swing state in the near future. It will be blue eventually.

[yellerpup]

18. That's hopeful news.

The ultra conservatives have frightened people in ways they didn't intend. Perhaps this will work in favor of people who want good government instead of political soap opera.

[CrispyQ]

28. "...good government instead of political soap opera."

Nice.

[yellerpup]

31. The last thing we ladies need

is for politicians to be gettin' all up in our business!

[jtuck004]

11. They wear different hats, but govern like the Taliban. n/t

[JoePhilly]

12. Outstanding. Until you attack these idiots, they will not stop.

[Rain Mcloud]

13. Wow!

K&R!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. It's an emotion evoking article.

Anger, sadness, disgust, pity. They all had a turn.

The comments were at least by a vast majority supportive. The one Zealot was firmly put in their place.

[Orrex]

15. Has that cover been banned for being obscene yet?

[Monk06]

19. That is definitely going to leave a mark. One of the guys should have been a bishop though'

[marshall gaines]

20. yep

Rec 100.

22. No bureaucrats coming between women and their docs in TX!

No-siree, 'cause conservatives wouldn't sit still for that kind of thing!!

=========================

[alfredo]

34. My interpretation of your sig line image

[Beartracks]

37. The sincerest form of flattery!

Thanks! Poor little teabaggers -- they don't even know they're getting themselves into hot water!

We've got that as a design on shirts at Zazzle: http://bit.ly/HKHTFV
I used to link the sig image to our Zazzle shop, but I guess I ran out of room. I'll need to run the URL through a shortener and stick it back in there.

On edit: The link is back in!

38. 2nd image: Even Henry Ford knew his workers had to be paid enough to afford what they made.

[October]

23. Am I the only one who thinks they won't be offended...

and might actually LIKE this image???

Shocking, really. It made me uncomfortable.

[SunSeeker]

24. K&R

[Canuckistanian]

25. Texas MEN, specifically

And if there were any WOMAN lawmakers in Texas agreeing with this..... well, they're traitors to their own sex.

[DFW]

27. But, but, but..............how can that be?

Everyone knows we Texans are all right wing scum, every last one of us!! I see it on progressive
blogs everywhere, so they must know, right? How did those libbruls get among our midst?

(actually, there are millions of us in Texas--it's just not PC to acknowledge it these days).

[WillyT]
