Some things are truly embarrassing.

I've lived in the South all my life (or what's commonly included as the south), and I've always maintained that people from the south are not the backwards-ass, stupid, ignorant, and bigoted people that those damned yankees up north make them out to be. 

But for every illogically ideological soggy-pancake-brained quasi-socialist from San Francisco who spews something moronic about "economic justice" and progressive bullshit, there's one person from down south who spews an equally ridiculous statement. 

I give you Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern (R).

She's an embarrassment to Oklahoma. I love my State, but we've got some nuts. She has started a little campaign known as the Proclamation for Morality, where she blames "abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery" for the nation's economic crisis, among our other problems.

I set out to write a post about the absurdities of issuing permits to shoot off fireworks, but I just couldn't let this little nugget of shame go by.
