Yesterday, I heard someone make a reference to "The President."

My mind immediately went to Obama.

Alzheimer's on steroids. Worse than anything that ever came out of Reagan's mouth. n/t

Who disgusts you more?

I like the hairless renderings. They make him resemble Dr. Evil. n/t

Senator Busted Having Sex With His Cousin In True GOP Fashion

Source: Bipartisanreport.com


State Senator Joey Hensley (R-TN) is an anti-gay family values politician who has proposed regressive and anti-gay laws time after time. Recently, the senator has had some pretty horrible family values, as the married man has reportedly had an affair on his wife with one of his coworkers.

But wait, it gets better. The colleague he had an affair with was also a patient of his at the family medical office he practices at and…wait for it… his second cousin.

According to Pink News, the claims come after his cousin revealed the allegations of their affair in court while giving her testimony during her divorce trial with her husband.

Hensley is a Christian of the Pentecostal church and works also as a physician at a family practice. He has been a GOP senator since 2013 and has mainly worked to introduce a list of proposals that are anti-gay and regressive.

A commentary on Pennywise

The following comes from an Episcopal priest I know who is a Facebook friend of mine. As far as I'm concerned, he nailed it.

"when i was hungry, you canceled my food stamps
when i was thirsty, you diverted lead & coal into my water
when i was sick, you tripled my insurance rates
when i was naked, you raped me & blamed me because i was naked.
when i was in prison, you enslaved me to corporations
when i was a stranger with brown skin you deported me
from the lonely you took away social programs
from the elderly, you took away meals & medicine
from the workers, you took away legal protections
from the young, you took away school funding
from the victims, you took away shelter
instead of diversity, you encourage intolerance
instead of caring, you encourage isolation
instead of equity, you encourage military excess
when the 1% has ground us into the dust, taken all of our money, and let us die for lack of insurance - who will you feed upon?"

An apropos quote for the times we've been in since November 8, 2016

I have my home page set to refdesk.com. Every day, they publish a quote. Today's offering, I thought, was quite appropriate, given the situation in which the country currently finds itself:

"The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men." - Plato
