Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls; it's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world.

Fortunately, today's GOP is offering a kid/family-friendly solution to these vexing problems (some people might even call them crimes against nature), and it doesn't involve any so-called "science" or "nation-building."
Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, step right up, and allow me to demonstrate this miracle cure.
It'll only take a few seconds, and—if all goes according to plan—you won't remember a thing when I'm done.
So, now, close your eyes and pretend that you're asleep.
Alright, let's get down to business.
5 ... 4 ... 3 ... *steals money out of your pockets* ... 2 ... 1 ... wake up!
Was that as good for you as it was for me, he asked him/her knowingly.

Right-wing hero Cliven Bundy shared some more thoughts on the Negro.
"Receiving welfare and housing – is that a sense of slavery when you get caught up in that and can't get out of it for generations?" Bundy said, as quoted by The Guardian. "They don't have freedom."
Bundy also told the publication that he often sees well dress blacks when he flies, which he said was a sign of progress for the black community.
"They really are progressing and prospering," the rancher said. "I understand they've raised themselves up to a point where they are equal with the rest of us. And I'm so happy for them. But what about those that are in the ghetto and can't get out?"
Meanwhile...
Glenn Beck, back from vacation in Idaho, credited Rick Perry's prayers with making it rain in Texas.
"Five weeks ago, they [Idaho] had a fast for rain because they were in a drought," Beck said. "And it started raining five weeks ago."
Similarly, Beck said, the state of Texas began to work it way out of its drought after Perry prayed for rain back in 2011, which is a position shared by a number of other Religious Right activists.
"We started ending that drought with that fast," he said. "He was mocked for it and he went ahead and did it and that was the beginning of the end of the drought. We started having rain right after that, and this state was a desert."
And, finally...
Dinesh D'Souza's nighttime incarceration came to an end, but not before he'd learned a hard lesson.
"I experienced confinement in three stages," D'Souza told WND in an interview. "I was obviously elated when the sentence came down that I had avoided prison, and all I had to do was go sleep at the confinement center."
"But then I found out that the confinement center is actually a place where you find hardened criminals, much more dangerous than the executives and criminals who tried to defraud the IRS that you would expect to find at a federal white-collar prison camp,” he explained. [...]
"I've come to understand from my confinement experience that the goal of the Democratic Party, like the hardened criminals I met in the detention center, is to steal the great wealth of America from the private enterprise sector to appropriate to their leftist purposes how that accumulated wealth is allocated, how it gets used and how it gets spent," he said.
And that's One to Grow On.
