Letter to Publix CEO Re Adam Putnam

May 21, 2018October 3, 2018 B. John 1646 Views 2 Comments Adam Putnam, florida, Todd Jones, Governor, Anti-Immigrant, Publix, Anti-LGBT

Florida headquartered Publix Super Markets, has contributed nearly $670k to Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam ($250K of the recently), now the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Tampa Bay Times has recently published an article calling this to the attention of everyone, and Publix’s has been in damage control ever since, issuing the typical PR-written, Lawyer-approved bullshit form letter. I’ve written my own letter in response to the form letter I’ve seen posted all over social media. Let’s see if Publix gets the message.

Kansas Sen Steve Fitzgerald – Douche Bag of the Day

May 8, 2018October 26, 2018 B. John 1537 Views 0 Comments Homophobes, senate, Bigots, White Supremacists, Kansas, Steve Fitzgerald, Rep. Tom Cox, LGBT Adoption

Well, Senator Fitzgerald came to our attention when he was mentioned in an article about yesterday’s Douche Bag of the Day winner. Fitzgerald went on an all too common rant on the Kansas Senate Floor about the “Gay Agenda,” as his argument for a bill allowing funding to adoption agencies that object to placing children with LGBT couples.

Republican Tom Cox of KS – Douche Bag Award Winner

May 7, 2018September 29, 2018 B. John 1062 Views 1 Comment Idiots, White Supremacists, Kansas, Adoption, LGBT, Tom Cox, @TomCox4KS, Steve Fitzgerald, Bigots

This one is just kind of outside our usual realm of notice, but we decided his action was just deplorable enough to warrant recognition with our Douche Bag of the Day award. Republican Tom Cox is a member of the Kansas house of Representatives representing the Shawnee-Lake Quivira district of good old KS, and he underhandedly changed his vote to make it possible for adoption agencies in KS to receive state funds AND discriminate against LGBT people.

The Swiss Gun Control Argument

March 23, 2018March 23, 2018 B. John 789 Views 2 Comments Switzerland, Swiss, Guns, Militia, Military Service

The Swiss argument about gun control gets bandied about with some regularity. There’s this claim that “The Swiss require everyone to have a gun,” or “The Swiss government issues everyone a gun.” Except, no they don’t. And as a matter of fact, when you look into gun violence statistics, Switzerland supports the position: “the more guns, the more gun violence.”

That Law Wouldn’t Have Stopped….Another More Guns Argument

March 11, 2018September 29, 2018 B. John 467 Views 0 Comments NRA, Mass Shootings, School Shootings, Gun Regulation, Guns, Waiting Periods

The NRA has trained well their minions. One of the most common arguments after every mass shooting is, well a waiting period wouldn’t have stopped; an age restriction wouldn’t have helped in this situation; or a determined person will get a gun. No one regulation will stop all shootings (with the clear inference that means there should be no regulations).

A couple of weeks ago, as Hurricane Matthew was churning it’s way up the east coast of Georgie and South Carolina, bearing down on North Carolina, where it ultimately did the most damage, McSquinty was doing what he does best, and whining at a party of bigots.

N.C. Senator Phil Burger – Douche Bag of the Day

North Carolina Senate Majority Leader Phil Burger has his knickers in a bunch because he claims Democratic faculty members at the University of North Carolina out-number Republicans by 12:1. He claims it is because of discriminatory hiring practices. People in the real world know better, so Burger has earned our Douche Bag of The Day Award.

Let’s Talk Restrooms…Or Not

March 25, 2016September 29, 2018 B. John 799 Views 0 Comments HB2, North Carolina, Bathroom Bill, Tim Moore, George Wallace, Pat McCrory

I’m getting tired of hearing about and talking about public restrooms. I don’t particularly like having to use them, but I’m sure thankful they’re there sometimes. I suspect most folks feel the same. But alas, the public restroom is under attack. Where once one could go for some semi-private release, it’s now a place where evil-doers and gender-obsessed perverts lurk.
