OH, YEAH!?  Well, Mickey Rat's ears are an abomination unto the LORD, and we're going to have Florida Man run him over with a lawnmower to get rid of those ears! 
I'm truly hoping that this little slide out of reality doesn't come to pass.

Not to be too dark but we should switch those. Being in a wheelchair makes Abbot a little low to the ground for a longhorn goring.

Speaking of the rat and his war with the mouse - an update. Ronny D has decided to quit, says they should drop their lawsuit, and claims that no one has made disney more money than him. Got the trump act nailed.
He's moved on to bombing Mexico.

Quote:Under a new rule adopted by the Florida Board of Education in July, parents must fill out a consent form before their children can go by a nickname in public schools. If Thomas wants to be called Tommy in the classroom, or Katherine prefers that teachers refer to her as Kat, they will need their parents' written permission.
The Board of Education said the change was made "to protect the fundamental rights of parents." If the form is not completed and a parent does not sign off, school staff must refer to students by their legal name.
https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/back-...a-17625525
I urge parents of school age children in Florida to 1) refuse to sign the permission slips and 2) trot their children down to the local registry office and change the child's name to something like 'Stiffwilly Jones' or 'Nipples Smith'.

I would have my offspring call all staff members by their first names.
Let them know if the wish to be addressed as Mrs./Ms./Mr., I would need a permission slip.

It's just a shame that tree didn't finish the job it started.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Neil Gorsuch is preparing his revenge
Republicans on the Supreme Court are, it appears, planning to gut most of America’s regulatory agencies.
If they pull it off, they could destroy the ability of:
— the EPA to regulate pollutants,
— the USDA to keep our food supply safe,
— the FDA to oversee drugs going onto the market,
— OSHA to protect workers,
— the CPSC to keep dangerous toys and consumer products off the market,
— the FTC to regulate monopolies,
— the DOT to come up with highway and automobile safety standards,
— the ATF to regulate guns,
— the Interior Department to regulate drilling and mining on federal lands,
— the Forest Service to protect our woodlands and rivers,
— and the Department of Labor to protect workers’ rights.
Among other things on the rightwing billionaire wish list: virtually the entirety of America’s ability to protect its citizens from corporate predation rests on what’s called the Chevron deference (more on that in a moment), which the Court appears prepared to overturn with a case they just accepted this year.
Declared Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he wants to eliminate the Department of Education “on day one” if he’s elected president. If the Supreme Court has its way, he wouldn’t have to bother. It’ll become impotent.

The idea that congress will individually make laws in place of regulatory decisions is ridiculous. They will do nothing - and that is what the polluters and corporations want. They want no limits to their own power to make money at the expense of the public good.
