Dear Republicans, Do you know that women vote?


Rush Limbaugh

When will Republicans stop their vagina monologue?

March is federally recognized as Women's History Month, and Republicans have been celebrating the occasion in a most unusual style: with a burst of interest in women's private parts.
Recently, the U.S. Senate took up a Republican proposal that would allow employers to deny women birth-control coverage if the employer found the pill morally objectionable.

A 7th advertiser backs away from Limbaugh's show after he calls law student 'slut'

 Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh

NEW YORK - A flower company is the 7th advertiser to pull its ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's radio program in the wake of comments he made about a law student who testified about birth control policy.
ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."
The six other advertisers that have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.

Dumb Crook of the Month Award


Sat, 03 Mar 2012
 
Dumb Criminal: Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point the robber took his drivers license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

My Cat


It's just dawned on me....
  
 My cat sleeps about 20 hours a  day.
      
He  has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants.

His meals are provided at no cost to him. 

He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical
needs arise.

For this he pays nothing and nothing is required of him.

He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs and he is
not required to do any upkeep..

If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. 

He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. 

He receives these accommodations absolutely free. 

He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever..

All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick  ........


 OMG! I think my cat is a member of Congress!
