I have tried boys and girls, men and women, oh have I tried to not be punitive or demeaning in my stance toward wingers and crackpot wingers in particular. But this winger really gets my goat, rubs me the wrong way and generally makes my skin crawl. I have had to watch in the papers mainly, I don’t do TV, so thank you Great Spirit and the radio as this crackpot winger of the week has demoralized the once proud and wonderfully competent education system in Kansas.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, I nominate Connie Morris. The author of “From the Darkness: One Woman’s Rise to Nobility, who states quite clearly that illegal immigrant’s children should never be educated by the people of Kansas, even if those same children are US citizens, you know that pesky clause in our Constitution that says if you are born on US soil you are a US citizen. She further stated today that
State Board of Education member Connie Morris has issued a newsletter that criticizes evolution as an “age-old fairytale” and describes board members who disagree with her as liberal, rude, disruptive and phony.
Now I have refrained from implying that wingers and crackpot wingers should seek some help, you know EST would do nicely for this crackpot winger, say 50,000 volts at about 500 milliamps, should suffice. Damn, I miss living in a nice blue state with nice liberal issues to work with and a nice liberal thought process that doesn’t make me cringe and my flesh crawl.
I recommend that if you have one of these crackpot wingers in your area, lets get the word out that they exist, that they are detrimental to a civil society and are at the least a threat to common decency, but more importantly they are a threat to our Constitutional rights as a US citizen.
Please follow the yellow brick road, err the links to the many write ups on my nominee for Crackpot Winger of the Week

They are not in just Kansas anymore – but ohmigawd that is too outrageous!
That woman is right at the top of the list! I would add Dobson to the crowd with Bushco…just so he doesn’t keep showing up as a separate line item.
Okay I’ll keep a list and watch for the diary.
We have our share of of the anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-everything stuff in California – including from our idiot governor.
Ahhrnold could be a shoe in every week.
Great idea Ghostdancer!
We could also have a bumpersticker brigade (best & worse) along with the lightmares of having to deal with those roadhags on the highway (or in my case, I seem to run into them in store lines). Thought for sure the last time I was gonna get hit.
Well next week, my nominee is going to be Sam the brownshirt Brownback, that great American theocrat, who is still pushing a bill to allow churches to politic from the pulpit without losing their non profit status. Now sam is indeed a theocrats theocrat.
I know SallyCat, I used to live in that bastion of Conservative wingnuts, San Diego. Duncan “what do you mean I can’t kite checks Hunter was the representative for the area I lived in, another chickenhawk wingnut. I just couldn’t take all the traffic and the constant harping from the city I lived in, El Cajon. When they the city government were going to impose a 1 dollar an exterior door tax, on landlords to help offset the emergency responses that occured in the 65% rental properties in the city of El Cajon, you would have thought the world was going to end. Landlords mailed their tenants and said if you vote for this, I can guarantee that your rent will increase by 30% so I can offset this new tax. Now let me see, average exterior doors per unit, 2, average units per complex 20, so that is 40 dollars a year, per complex, average. The landlords were going to raise their rents on average, 130 per month. Needless to say that did not pass and the city when I left was cutting out other needs to continue to respond to emergencies in the rental units. Last I heard rentals made up 57%, so their impact is lessening, but their landlords still don’t pay their fair share.
I’m in California, too. I have NEVER understood trying to keep children out of school. Even if you’re a cold hearted meanie(read Republican), sheer self interest would make you want an employable populous. That do they think youngsters with no education, no hope for the future, and no structure to their days, will be doing for a living ? Oh, wait. I get it. We’ll build fewer school, more prisons, and lock ’em up NOW, prophylactically.
Take consolation in reflecting that the answer to “how do they crawl out of the slime, anyway?”
is
“Evolution.”
Thanks for my laugh of the day.
