This was quite a week. Not much can top the shenanigans at the Texas Capitol, but here are a few WTFs to get your blood boiling anew.
– This headline says it all: “Bigoted Gun-Nuts Create Pork-Tipped Bullets to Send Muslims ‘To Hell.'” They allegedly sell ammo coated “with a special ballistic paint infused with pork to make it ‘Haraam’ or unclean to a radical Jihadist.” As AATP points out in their article, these idiots “don’t seem to understand that the penalty mentioned in the Qur’an is meant for those who voluntarily consume pork, not get shot with pig-infused paint covered bullets.”
– A woman in Georgia noticed that her birth certificate erroneously listed her gender as male. This proved to be a problem when she went to renew her driver’s license, at the age of 37, and was required to prove that she was, in fact, female. According to The Raw Story, the Georgia Department of Driver Services required her to undergo a pelvic exam and get a doctor’s note. Yes, a doctor’s note saying she’s a woman. The state’s Vital Record Service, who must have hired all the smart people, said that requiring the test violated protocol, and confirmed her gender (again) by checking her son’s birth certificate.
– Back in Texas, this shit happened:
