It's Salvation Friday! Rejoice! Rejoice! The dummies are going back home!

Welcome all, to Salvation Friday, the day we’re delivered from further harm by those rat-bastard morons in the Oklahoma State Legislature.

Glad I got that off my chest.

Their 2016 session ends today and while there are ugly rumors that a special session will be called, it won’t happen. Each and every one of them…male or female…Senator (hic) or “Representative” (sic)…incumbent or rookie, is too eager to get back among their constituents to make Memorial Day speeches about the great things he or she accomplished.

Which, was…not much really.

I guess they got a new budget hammered together, by cutting services to the people they’re supposed to serve…oh, and declaring war on rural healthcare by making cuts that will force more rural hospitals to turn their buildings into carpet warehouses.
Well, cuts to every agency except the one that serves the legislature…the Legislative Service Bureau. Over the past few days, we’ve heard legislator after legislature defend the 184% increase in funding that the LSB received. How else are these brokedick dumbasses going to get paid? Paid? They should be paying us!!!!

I’m sure every newly elected legislator throughout the history of this great state has gone to Oklahoma City thinking they had the answers to fix the state government or at least they went there with a personal agenda in mind. In the end, they wind up like the rest - broken, angry, and pathetically useless. And, plotting their reelection.  

This session, we’ve seen these parliamentary punks raid the CIRB (gives money to counties to fix roads and bridges – gee, that seems important), spend FAR too much time agonizing over stuff that really isn’t a problem (transgender bathroom bills chief among them), and generally scratch their collective legislative asses as they attempted to fix education in the state by cutting funding for teachers and schools even more than they did last year, just to name a few.

Now I guess we’ll be left with a state of poorly educated people who can’t go anywhere anyway because there aren’t any roads to get them there. But I suppose there will be employment for those brave individuals willing to stand outside of restrooms and make sure your biological sex matches the frigging picture on the door. Now, that’s diversifying the economy!

Oh, and let’s not forget that in addition to scaring every teacher to another state, the state legislature is also doing their best to drive doctors out of state as well. Thank you, Oklahoma State Legislature, thank you! I know, I know, we’ll use the Ph.D.’s to patch us up! Yeah! There’s plenty of those!

Enough is enough. You want to do some good? Impose term limits on your exclusive club. Hell, I’ll even go for imposing a term limit that would make you sit out the next term and then you can run for election again.

“Oh, but Mr. Robin, we wouldn’t have enough time to finish the work we went there to do,” State Legislator X said.

“YOU DON’T DO ANYTHING ANYWAY!,” Mr. Robin responded.

I’m sure glad the liquor modernization bill with all of its weird language and hidden landmines made it through. That is undoubtedly this Legislature’s legacy…and, I thank you for that.

Seriously.
