Alaska Anti-Mask State Senator Banned by Airline Can’t Get Back to Capitol

The Anchorage Daily News reports that anti-mask Alaska State Senator and Oral Roberts University graduate Lora Reinbold (R), is complaining about not being able to make it from her home to legislative sessions in Juneau, unless she drives for two days through Canada, because American Airlines banned her for repeatedly harassing boarding staff and flight attendants over mask requirements. That said, Sen. Reinbold claims she was really banned for political reasons and is demanding she be paid her state senator salary, even if she doesn’t show up for work.

Gee, getting paid for not working? I thought that’s what Republicans call socialism? All kidding aside, I realize these are some serious allegations Sen. Reinbold is making! Go ahead and laugh, but the way I see it - getting banned from flying during a COVID pandemic is nothing to scoff at, or was that “cough at?” Or, how about, “sneeze at?” Anyway, one of those. Besides, even if voters decided to send her packing, how’s she gonna travel? Maybe Sarah Palin could give a ride?

Hey, I've got an idea. Perhaps the airline might consider letting her fly “unmasked” - in the cargo bay? Or, how about she take a hot air balloon? She’d definitely have no problem filling it up with “hot air.” Of course, if it were up to me, I’d simply tell her to take an Uber. On the other hand, given the way she’s been treating those poor airline employees, she sure sounds like the kind of “ogre” who could probably just fly right on up to Juneau - on her broom. Problem solved!

Iowa Republicans Pass Bill to Repeal Child Labor Laws

The Republican-dominated Iowa Senate just passed a child labor bill that "allows 14-year-olds to work six-hour night shifts" and "allows 15-year-olds to work in plants on assembly lines moving items up to 50 pounds.” In addition, “16 and 17-year-olds will now be permitted to serve alcohol.” Good grief! Sounds like these fun-loving Republicans wanna make every day a “Bring your child to work day.” Well, I suppose they figured all those fetuses that aren’t getting aborted - gotta have something to do. “All aboard! Next stop, the 19th century.” Gee, I can hardly wait to see what’s next. Indentured servitude, debtors' prisons, poor houses? Hell, they may as well bring back the poor houses, given that its nearly impossible for regular folks to afford to buy a home or even rent an apartment these days. Anyway, now that Republicans have pushed this through, perhaps its time for patriarchal Christian fascists to begin working on other pet projects. You know,

Study Finds Habitual Nose Pickers Have Greater Chance of Contracting COVID

Researchers in the Netherlands found in a new, peer-reviewed study of hospital workers that people who pick their noses habitually have a three times greater likelihood of contracting COVID than those who don’t. Nearly 85% of those surveyed reported they picked their noses at least once in the previous month with varying frequencies. Gee, whiz! Now that’s some interesting news! Hell, now I'm all set for trivia night. That said, and if I’m understanding this correctly, this study conclusively proved that “most hospital workers pick their noses.” Who knew? Now, if you ask me, the REAL NEWS here has nothing to do with COVID. It’s that “a whole bunch of hospital workers actually admitted they pick their noses.” The funny thing is, there was a small group of those nose-pickers who were kind of bold about it all and proudly pointed out that, “The beauty of nose-picking is that each of us have two completely separate nasal cavities, so there’s never any waiting .” When asked which

Trump Leads Chorus of Conservative Cheers Over US Women’s Soccer Loss to Sweden

Former President Donald Trump led a chorus of conservatives who cheered this past Sunday after the U.S. women's soccer team got knocked out of the World Cup by Sweden. Posting on his “Truth Social,” Trump wrote, "The 'shocking and totally unexpected' loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden,” adding that "Many of our players were openly hostile to America - No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot, Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA.” The “Megan” reference was about US star player Megan Rapinoe with whom Trump has maintained a long-running grudge after she refused to accept an invitation to see him in the White House after leading her team to victory in the Women's World Cup four years ago. Wait a minute! The guy who has just racked up 78 felony charges against him - including trying to violently overthrow th
