Sage Religion
The Scriptures are full of silly nonsense... talking bushes,
talking snakes, boats carrying the whole of Earth's vertebrate
fauna, etc.
Perhaps the silliest story
we let slide by unremarked is that of god boinking a virgin
so she'll squirt him out a savior. Why a virgin? Why even
a woman?
God
could have impregnated a man, or a sheep, or a rock if he
so chose. I mean, he's god, you know. Wouldn't a woman who
was already a veteran of the gestation wars be a better nursery
for god's precious, celestial sperm than an untested rookie?
Without doubt this "virgin" nonsense is just a simple reflection
of the social mores of the time, not unlike contemporary
ones, where young women gravid outside the accepted social
structure
is Big Trouble. For the girl, that is. So what better way
for a damsel in such a delicate condition to shut the local
Council of Cranky Elders down than to claim He Who Hath Done
Created Everything made a furtive, midnight rendezvous to
one's maidenly restricted area and got all deflowery one
hot summer night.
The yuckier version of this myth is that even way back yonder
there were certainly plenty of horn-dogs macking on sweet
young thangs. A virgin
teen
was probably a pretty hot fantasy date so considering the
stories of legend were written by men it should come as no
surprise that it
occurs front and center in such fictional works that we
currently call "The Bible". And we put this smutty thing
in school libraries. Tsk-tsk.

What I wouldn't give to have had Al Franken pretending to
grab his date's boobs while sitting next to Lauren Boebert
as she and her date practiced the button-fly bassoon just
to watch Republican head's explode trying to justify Boebert's
actions
over Al's.
---------------
I'm becoming of the opinion that we NEED to send millionaires
to Congress. Whenever we send those from underprivileged
backgrounds we always seem to get Boebertses and Sinemases
and Santoses.
At least with pre-millionaired Congressmen we know they
arrived pre-crooked. (Republicans only.)
Like Mitch McConnell, who arrived
in Washington metaphorically wearing a cardboard belt and
now he's a multi-millionaire. I guess that Virginia paper
route he had
really
fattened the old
bankroll.

About thirty years ago a giant asteroid slammed into Texas
killing every vertebrate Republican in the state, leading
to the current epoch of the Cockroach Congress, one that
rapturously wades through lagoons of black, oozing, stinking
corrupt petro-bribes as though it were milk from mama's
teats.
But that's completely separate from the Texas Senate vote
that vindicated Ken Paxton. He's still the Texas AG because
the Trumpski's threatened the Senators with Trump-backed
opposition
in the coming primaries if they didn't play along. What
those Senators don't realize is that they were marked men
from the
beginning. If
they had to bow to outside pressure to free Paxton then
they weren't
Trump men anyway, now were they?
Everything Trump touches dies. Good luck, gents. Actually,
screw you guys.
--------------
If I may be so bold, Texas became a stinking political
shithole because, while all the major cities vote Blue
and get plenty
of funding for voting security, all the small cities are
wide
open to electronic vote fraud. Texas is famous for small
towns of "Population: 312 and a mule" somehow reporting
11,780 votes for anything with an (R) after its name.
