Arizona - "Meth Lab of Democracy"
More bat-shit crazy shit from the Arizona Legislature...


(This would have been enough to get Molly Ivins to move to Phoenix if she were still with us... The Texas Lege is WAY too tame compared to Arizona's right-wing assholes)


Arizona Senate passes SB1201 -- putting an end to "No Guns Allowed" signs on PRIVATE PROPERTY!!! If passed by the bat-shit crazy House and signed by the bat-shit crazy Janet Brewer, the fucked up local "gunnies" could bring their firepower onto YOUR private property or place of business whether you want them to or NOT!


Arizona Senate passes SB1610 -- Two months after the Massacre in Tucson, joining the 'Saguaro Blossom' as the state flower, The 'Palo Verde' as the state tree, and the 'Cactus Wren' as the state bird will be the Colt Single Action Army as Arizona's official State Firearm.


Maybe they'll make it retroactive so Jerrod Loughner can get another charge added on for using an "illegal alien" firearm to kill 6 and wound 13 folks out in front of Safeway on January 8th...


But, wait folks, that's not all...


SB1402 was passed by the bat-shit crazy motherfuckers in the Arizona Senate to create a

Tea Party Vanity License Plate!!!



I shit you not, boys and girls. The proceeds from the plate will go to state tea-baggers since, as that fuck Russell Pearse (R-Insane MotherFucker) said, "it is not a political plate because the "tea party" is not a political party."


And you thought Scott Walker in Wisconsin was crazy...

1. AZ has seen my last tourist dollar.
Lovely place, but really screwed up these days.

3. Come to Tucson!!!
We're the only bastion of semi-rational thought...

And we could use your dollars... :)


There's a serious move afoot here in Baja Arizona to seceded from bat-crap crazy Arizona and re-join the United States...

"The 'Start Our State' political committee has officially registered in Pima County. The group says they're dedicated to creating the 51st American state in Southern Arizona."

2. I lived in the Phoenix area for 6 years. Sadly, the area is full of this kind of dipshittery.
Why else do you think thugs like Sheriff Joe win by landslides in every election?

6. My LTOE -- just sent to my local paper...
Ft. Sumter Redux

So instead of addressing jobs, education and important economic issues, and on top of increasing the deficit to give more tax breaks to the rich, trying to put a gun in every classroom, craft their own foreign policy, nullify Federal Jurisdiction over American citizens, and criminalize brown people (and anyone who gives a Mexican a ride), the seriously deranged Arizona State Senate has decided on a state gun and promoting a “tea party” license plate.

I suggest that it would save a lot of time and taxpayer money if Russell Pearce and Co. would strap on their Colt Single Actions, procure a few cannon, take their bad selves down to Sierra Vista, fire on Ft. Huachuca and run up the Stars and Bars and be done with it.

7. "Lab" is an understatement
We have skipped the lab moved bad government to an industrial mass production scale. They can pass anything, so every right-wing fantasy can be enacted here.

8. It's a truly amazing display of insanity, isn't it?
Edited on Wed Mar-09-11 08:23 PM by ProudDad
I'm still waiting for them to begin discussion on how to close the budget hole...

Other than shutting down the public school system, that is...

The new Arizona State Motto should be, "If ya' cain't afford a educashun, ya' cain't have one..."

It goes along with the stupid state gun... I'd take a Glock with a 33 cartridge magazine over a Colt Single-Action any day of the week." Morans...

9. Yes really
If ya have to keep wasting time reloading some libruls and them what can read might get away. If this legislature doesn't understand the advantage of extended magazines, I'm not sure the state flag is worthy of having stars and bars added (I expect that to get floated by the end of the year).

:crazy:
