Tar-Heels need to Tar and Feather!

You can skip the news for a day and count on the insanity being there when you get back. Let’s begin, shall we:

We have an article over at the Star News Online that has some jack-assed republican in the North Carolinian state Senate selling elevator tickets in a one story building.

Raleigh Citing the controversy surrounding the Dakota Fanning film Hounddog, the leader of the state Senate Republicans says he wants the government to review scripts before cameras start rolling in North Carolina.

First thing that pissed me off, why in the hell is everyone involved with Hounddog still walking around as free citizens? I have not seen this smear of a movie, but if what I am hearing is true – lude and lascivious acts on a minor, reckless endangerment of a minor, etc. The girl is 12 years old!

And yeah Senator Swaggert, that’s the ticket. I want you idiots to review scripts before the subsequent movies are shot in Tar-Heel country because you hold the high-ground when it comes to morality. Ah, but my friend, the article only gets better.

That system, said state Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, would apply only to films seeking the state's lucrative filmmaker incentive, which refunds as much as 15 percent of what productions spend in North Carolina from the state treasury.

"Why should North Carolina taxpayers pay for something they find objectionable?" said Berger, who is having proposed legislation drafted.

Hey dip shit, why are North Carolina taxpayers paying ANY taxes to have some beanie wearing sycophant come and burn some film in your state? Refunds up to 15% of the production costs of monies spent in NC while filming? Is this a joke? It is called a movie ticket you mental midget. If the fine citizens of NC or any other state want to see a movie, they can bee-bopp their ass up to the clueless teen, entrenched behind the dirty glass at the movie theater, and buy the “refund” to production costs.

"We want to see if this film is doable and a good investment for the people of the state," he said.

Yeah, and a few more intellectual statements like that and I might have enough fertilizer for my tomatoes.
