A couple modest questions

1. If employers should be required to pay for insurance that provides contraception to women, should they also pay for dental insurance that provides free toothpaste? After all, your employer shouldn't tell you that you can't have birth control. Therefore, my employer should not tell me I cannot brush my teeth.
2. This November, Democratic voters must ask themselves this: How many Iranian civilians am I prepared to sacrifice for free healthcare?
3. Should auto insurance be required to pay for new tires and brake pads? Whenever a car with bald tires causes an accident, we shouldn't blame the driver for not maintaining his car. We should blame Congress for not passing the appropriate legislation.

US SPECIAL FORCES CAPTURE ALLAH

Allah, the deity revered by all Muslims world wide, was apprehended in
front of a mosque in Basra a month ago, according to a recently
declassified report. His prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus,
and Mohammed, are all believed to be dead.

Allah is allegedly responsible for numerous plagues, wars, and the
creation of the universe. He is currently being held at the detention facility
at Guantanimo Bay, Cuba.

He is alleged to have several aliases including God, Lord, Yahwell,
Jehovah, Gott, and Dios. There are many conflicting reports on this
person. He is believed to occasionally take the form of George Burns or
Alanis Morrisette.

An anonymous Marine NCO posted at the naval base commented on the
military's attempt to confine an omnipotent being.

"We took a suggestion from the Kansas state board of education. We've
placed copies of 'On Origins of Species' around the facility. The book
has been credited with keeping God out of schools, so we hope that it
will keep Him in jail."

Allah’s spokesman, the Arch Angel Michael, also known as “Mecca Mike”
made a statement. "By what ever name you know Him, He is very pissed off at all 7,128,725,923 of you assholes. Wait, make that 7,128,725,926. Some lady in Calcutta had triplets."

Is Newt Gingrich the "stick"?

There was an episode of "King of the Hill" in which Bobby Hill joined the track team. For those of you not familiar with the show, Bobby Hill is an obese adolescent. The kid is obviously not an athlete. But the coach had a role for the boy. Bobby Hill was the "stick". Whenever one of the stars of the team was caught doing an offense such as smoking or missing practice, the coach would sub in Bobby Hill for that player. This would cause the team to lose. Since no student athlete wants to be replaced by a fat kid, this motivated the track team members to clean up their act and they started winning more track meets.

I wonder if Gingrich is a "stick" meant to punished the GOP rank and file for not lining up behind Romney.
