Last week I introduced a post regarding Stupid policies of the week.
This week I bring to you nothing more than an absolute waste of time in the Oklahoma State Legislature.
State Legislator Sally Kern (R) wants to introduce a proclamation declaring the economic recession as the result of America's "debauchery." (Read the Huffington Post article here.) I knew that was the problem. We can blame the recession on the gays, babies born out of wedlock and Obama not attending National Day of Prayer. Honestly, you've lost it Sally Kern. This piece of trash legislation is nothing more than a waste of time, energy and money.
As if that wasn't enough, Rush Limbaugh took it a step further. He's blaming Mark Sanford's (R) extra-marital affair on the financial stimulus package. Backed into a corner, they'll say and do just about anything. Idiot.
I could go on and on about the hypocrisy dished out by the GOP on these sorts of moral and cultural matters, but I don't think its necessary. We all know anyway........EPIC FAIL.

Stupid policy of the week
Proof that stupidity reaches all corners of the political spectrum.
The Democratic Policy Committee is considering proposing legislation, known as the Travel Promotion Act of 2009. (Read the brief here.) The TPA is supposed to help recover the waning numbers of tourist that have stopped coming to the US since 2001 (and their money). This new organization would be responsible for marketing the US abroad, promoting travel and explaining the stupid security regulations put in place.
Oh great, how are they going to fund this new organization, you ask? By charging each foreign tourist a $10 fee. That's right. Attract tourism by charging them even more money. Fantastic idea.
If you want to get these foreign tourists and their money back in the States....why don't you stop turning us into Fortress America? Fingerprinting? Excessive landing cards? ESTA authorization 72 hours prior to departure? Its not that the world doesn't want to come to the US because the cities aren't nice or they don't feel safe inside the country, its because the United States government has turned them (and the citizenry) into criminals. And nobody wants to visit a country where they feel and are treated like criminals.
