When Life Imitates ... Archie

1. GOP lawmaker calls women “a lesser cut of meat”
http://www.salon.com/2015/02/13/gop_lawmaker_calls_women_a_lesser_cut_of_meat/



Archie: In the Bible it says, "God made men in his own image." He made women after, from a rib. A cheaper cut.



2. Language School Blogger Fired for Writing About Homophones

Archie: No, Edith. Homo sapiens. That's a killer f*g.



3. Go Ahead, Bring a Gun on a Plane, Say Republicans

Archie: Now I want to talk about another thing that's on everybody's minds today, and that's your stick-ups and your skyjackings, and which, if that were up to me, I could end the skyjackings tomorrow ... All you gotta do is arm all your passengers. He ain't got no more moral superiority there, and he ain't gonna dare to pull out no rod. And then your airlines, they wouldn't have to search the passengers on the ground no more, they just pass out the pistols at the beginning of the trip, and they just pick them up at the end! Case closed.

you should send this OP to all the knuckle draggers in the House and Senate. Give them a good long look in the mirror. Sadly, they will probably be proud of the association.



Thanks for another excellent OP, napkinz~

Archie's musings 45 years ago ... mouthed by today's Teapublican Party.

(When conservatives say they want to take the country back, we know what they really mean ... back to the 1950s. To before civil rights, women's rights, LGBT rights.)

and thought Archie was the only one who made any sense because he sounded like their own fathers. They majored in business and pre law and a few in engineering and never saw a reason to adjust their world view. After all, their Ban-Lon shirts were clean and they got haircuts.

They just never understood why they couldn't get laid.

Steve Scalise! The House Majority Whip who addressed a white supremacist group in 2002!

Again, life imitates Archie!
