Watch Out for Blow Dart Wielding Prisoners; The Montana GOP Reaches a New Low

by Don Pogreba on February 8, 2011 · 98 comments

in 2011 Legislature

Just when I thought this collection of bigots, idiots, and conspiracy theorists couldn’t embarrass the state any more than they already have, Representative Janna Taylor came along to say something so stupid and offensive that she made Tim Ravndal seem like a rational human being.

Why do we need the death penalty? To stop HIV-positive prisoners from killing guards with blow darts.

How can you have a rational debate with someone like that? You can’t.

How can discourse happen in the absence of reason? It can’t.

Oh, Jesus… Thanks, Don. This is going out…..
And just for anyone reading this: HIV cannot be spread by saliva and generally dies within seconds outside the body. This blowdart nonsense is about as stupid as you can get.
Her ignorance and fear-mongering are shameless….

I LUV THIS WOMAN! Look, folks, this is EXACTLY why relations should not have relations with relations! Janna is a PERFECT example of this! What a perfect teabagger!

I bet Verdell made up that story too and she just repeated it because it saves time not having to make up her own ridiculous stories.

God, the stupid is epidemic in Helena!!! Dang!!!

I’ll point out that we merely attract the stupid here once every couple years – most (though surely not all) of it originates elsewhere before going on a sort of idiotic pilgrimage to the Capitol.

Τα τελευταία οκτώ χρονιά η εταιρεία ALΕXANDRIDIS επεκτάθηκε και στα έπιπλα γραφείου με αποτέλεσμα οι διαχρονικές της δημιουργίες να καλύψουν τμήματα τόσο της Βουλής των Ελλήνων , όσο και του Υπουργείου Εθνικής Αμύνης καθώς και δημαρχείων , γραφείων περιφερειων αλλά και πολλών ελεύθερων επαγγελματιών.

‘Ολοι έχουμε βρεθεί στην δυσάρεστη θέση, ενώ έχουμε κουραστεί να φτιάξουμε το σπίτι μας, ξαφνικά να χρειαστεί να γίνει μία μετακόμιση είτε γιατί η δουλειά μας είναι πολύ πιο μακρυά από το σπίτι είτε γιατί δεν τα βρήκαμε με τον σπιτονοικοκύρη ή και ακόμα για δικούς μας προσωπικούς λόγους.

Ο μεγαλύτερος φόβος όλων μας πιστεύω ότι είναι γενικότερα οι μετακομίσεις ή οι μεταφορές να γίνονται σωστά και επαγγελματικά. Εννοείται πως δεν θέλουμε να γρατζουνιστεί το τραπέζι αντίκα και κληρονομιά της γιαγιάς ή να βρούμε κομμάτια από το στερεοφωνικό μας, κ.τ.λ. και για αυτό το λόγο οι μετακομίσεις ή οι μεταφορές που θα χρειαστεί να κάνουμε θα πρέπει πρώτα να έχουμε βρει τους κατάλληλους συνεργάτες.Αυτό που προτείνω να κάνουμε είναι πριν επιλέξουμε ποια μεταφορική εταιρεία θα μας βοηθήσει για όλες μας τις μεταφορές ή τις μετακομίσεις, να ελένξουμε τις ιστοσελίδες με τις φωτογραφίες των εταιρειών από μετακομίσεις, μεταφορές, αμπαλάζ και αποθηκεύσεις έτσι ώστε να είμαστε σίγουροι ότι η μεταφορική εταιρεία που θα επιλέξουμε για την μετακόμιση σπιτιού ή μεταφορά θα είναι αξιόπιστη.

Αρκετές λοιπόν πληροφορίες από αξιόπιστες μεταφορικές εταιρείες υπάρχουν στον κατάλογό μας, όπου θα μπορέσετε να επιλέξετε με ασφάλεια είτε για μετακόμιση σπιτού, μετακόμιση γραφείου και γενικότερα όλων των ειδών τις μεταφορές και μετακομίσεις.

With the whole thing that appears to be developing throughout this topic matter, your perspectives are extremely refreshing. Nevertheless, I appologize, but I can not give credence to your whole program, all be it exhilarating none the less. It would appear to every person that your comments are in fact not entirely justified and in actuality you might be usually yourself not even fully convinced of your point. In any event I did take pleasure in reading it.
