Here's something that made me scratch my head and then see if I could find a job in Portland, Ore.
Many of you know that we have some questionable "representatives" in our state and, tragically, in national government. One of the strangest nutters with a little power is Sally Kern. Ms. Kern resides in Oklahoma City, but her brain is in a jar in NeverLand. Unfortunately, her mouth is in the State House.
So, Ms. Kern (who I honestly thought was either dead or at least muzzled since her debacle several years ago), suddenly pops up with several bills to present to our legislators. Bill #1: Businesses would be free to discriminate against gay patrons. Bill #2: Parents would be welcome to place their gay children in conversion therapy. Bill #3: State funds would be prohibited from going to agencies that support gay marriage.
Ignore the fact that Ms. Kern looks like the first Bride of Frankenstein--you know, the one Dr. Frankenstein threw out in favor of the second Bride of Frankenstein--it's what comes out of her mouth that is the REALLY scary thing.
Now, all of the above isn't really all that funny. It's tragic, wrong-headed, blatantly homophobic and completely ridiculous. Where it got just too funny was when a reporter asked our GOVERNOR, The Righteous Mary Fallin, what she thought of Ms. Kern's bills. "Well," says Ms. Mary, "I never comment on things like that, " (WHAT????) "but I want you to know that last night I went out to dinner with (wait for it............) TWO OF MY GAY FRIENDS."
I'll bet Ms. Mary has best friends who are black, too.
