   Senate Republicans have never heard of Roy Moore

   Senate Republicans say they know almost nothing about Roy Moore, their wildly controversial candidate in the Alabama special election. But they really, really want him to be elected to the Senate.

   What about Moore's history of racially insensitive comments? Haven't heard anything. Homophobic remarks? Nada. Moore's claim that some American communities are living under Sharia law? Crickets. Moore's statement that 9/11 happened "because we’ve distanced ourselves from God"? Nothing for you on that. Moore's assertion that Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison shouldn't be allowed to serve in Congress because he's a Muslim? We'll get back to you. Moore saying Mitch McConnell should be replaced as Senate majority leader? Uhh, zip.

   1. Well, on that last point, I happen to agree with the hateful old bigot. McConnell should be replaced. By Chuck Schumer.

2. Some light reading for our resident potted plant:

   The Christian case for drug law reform

   From a Christian, Tea Party, Republican, Legislator from Texas: "The time has come for a thoughtful discussion of the prudence of the prohibition approach to drug abuse, the impact of prohibition enforcement on constitutionally protected liberties and the responsibilities that individuals must take for their own actions. The Bible warns about excessive drinking, eating and sleeping (Proverbs 23:21), but it doesn't ban the activities or the substances or conditions associated with them–alcohol, food and fatigue. Elsewhere, feasting and wine are recognized as blessings from God."

      2. I'm guessing his #ProsperityJesus owns a license or two in the marijuana space on the down low (and has still found a way to keep his gunz).  'Fleecing the flock' isn't just a Sunday event…

   2. the impact of prohibition enforcement on constitutionally protected liberties and the responsibilities that individuals must take for their own actions

      Just guessing, but Mr./Ms. Christian Tax Party Republican from Texas is probably not planning on rethinking his or her attempts to interfere with a woman's right to an abortion, which is on much stronger constitutional ground than his or her right to snort crank.

6. Oh noes!!! Some old, fat white guy (who couldn’t get up if he took a knee) that made his fortune in PayDay lending is withdrawing his ads from the NFL for the rest of the season.  Just how will they EVER recover?!?!?  Are we tired of winning yet?

   1. Cool!  The less this fucker advertises the better!  . . .

      . . . And, btw, if Colin Kaepernick is the person most responsible for finally ending taxpayer funding for NFL owner's stadiums, then I think we should consider putting him on a flag and singing his praises before the start of every game!

      (PS — do read, however, as Jones suggests, all about Francis Scott Key — more than just the 140-character DonnieTweeter version — besides being an abominable poet, he was also a world-class racist. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/wheres-debate-francis-scott-keys-slave-holding-legacy-180959550/)

      1. Who wants to break it to the potted plant that the NFL is one of America's premier socialist organizations?!?!

      2. Jones Said His Town Had Just Enough Blacks to Make a Decent Basketball Team, But Not Enough for People to Worry About Crime, “That’s Why I Can Leave My Keys in The Care with The Door Unlocked.”

         Jones’ Check into Cash Had a Black Man Come in to Shine Their Shoes Every Thursday; Executives Dubbed Him Their “Little Chocolate Man.”

         Jones Childhood Friend Who’s On Payroll of Jones Management Suggested That Jones Hire “Female Barbers with Big Titties” At The Barber Shop He Owned.

         He owns jets, a yacht, exotic cars, a house based off the Biltmore complete with a regulation-size football field (with bleachers), and a 223 acre Jackson Hole retreat. Despite his wealth, Jones still complains that he hasn’t made enough and compares the profits of payday lenders to minimum wage workers without cracking a smile.

         1. Sounds like a guy desperately in need of a Republican tax cut.
