Looney legislator, Rhonda Storms, who’s name evicts visions of a lap dancer more than a senator has proposed and passed a new license plate for Floridians. The Jesus plate seen above. While the states drowns in debt and our budget cuts services to the bone, these right wing religious zealots waste time shoving through a pretty gross license. Why is it that Christians love to show images of a  man, tortured to death, hanging from a cross?

Because why worry about a budget impasse or property insurance when you can spend more than an hour talking about Jesus, the devil and license plates?

Religious specialty plates offered by Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, and Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, made it onto a bill Friday even though many members had not seen images of those plates and none was produced for the debate.

Siplin didn’t mince words when asked what his “Trinity” plate looks like, saying, “It has a picture of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.” It, along with a “Preserving the Past” plate offered by Siplin, would benefit the Toomey Foundation for the Natural Sciences. (Source:  St. Petersburg Times)

So while the state budget and services swirl down the toilet this is what the legislature is debating. And the Toomey Foundation? That is a creationist group trying to add their moronic superstitions to our science curriculum in the state schools. They’ve got an explanation for everything, facts be damned.

So what is next? There is already talk about introducing plates with the devil on them now. Personally I think that is not such a bad idea. After all the Governor, Charlie Crist, and I are alumni of the same high school. Our logo is a Green Devil.

So, if you are a University of Florida graduate who loves manatees, you can support both on your tag. Crist, who will offer the amendment Monday, said the senators he has talked to really like the idea.

But those options would come too late for Friday’s debate in the Senate, where Sen. Larcenia Bullard, D-Miami, invoked the devil to make her point: “What if someone comes next year and decides to vote on something that has the devil on it, and horns, horns on each side. I know that people are called the devil, but if the symbol of a devil is on it, I would not vote for that.”

I’m all for petitioning the Governor for our alma mater on a license. Meanwhile, Rhonda needs to get a life.

Thanks Robby for the heads up on this. Go Green Devils!

Governor Perry and some GOP whiners are talking secession these days. What a laugh! Let them. And let them take George W with them.

If they had brought this nonsense up during the last administration they would have been invaded. After all, Texas does have oil.

On a more serious note, if Texas does decide to secede Governor Perry doesn’t stand a chance. Chuck Norris would kick his ass in a gubernatorial race for the President of the Republic of Texas.

All I can say is they are a bunch of asshats who are showing their true colors. The rest of America endured eight years of a phony cowboy’s tenure in the White House and these crybabies can’t make it three months without talking about breaking up the Union. These people are talking sedition and should be prosecuted.
