O-Kern-Homa, Where the Hate Comes Sweepin' Down the Plain


Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern (R) has introduced a bill to officially change the name of the state from Oklahoma to Okernhoma. Kern stated, "By putting my name in the state's name, the people in our great state will be reminded that my opinions are more important than any one person's individual rights." Kern's latest bill joins three bills that she filed earlier: (1) a bill allowing businesses to refuse service to gay people, (2) a bill promoting gay conversion therapy, and (3) a bill penalizing anyone who issues a marriage license to a same-sex couple. Kern is considering introducing another bill which will allow any citizen to slap the face of a gay person without provocation.

5. Also note that huffingtonpost is a clickbait site

that has no redeeming qualities.

Somehow I'm reminded of MSNBC.COM, a self-styled destination for "news, video and progressive community."

sheeee..it. A difference: msnbc pays big, Ariana got her start from sucking in bloggers, then appearing at places like msnbc as a "progressive pundit".
