I can’t believe they cut her off . . .
. . . how will our legislators ever learn how to properly regulate Colorado’s rusty trombones or flying camels, not to mention ballcuzzis, if we don’t let our experienced “um, scientists” testify unhindered???!!???
YKINOK, Dio.
I find this very interesting, but not for the reasons one might suspect. I live in House District 23. Even though I try to follow Lakewood politics at least half-heartedly, I didn't know that Chris Kennedy had a Republican opponent back in November.
And speaking of fisting….
Wasn’t it former state senator Bill Carman (R-Colorado Springs) who once threatened to fist one of his colleagues during a floor debate? I think it was Val Vigil who was the object of Cadman’s attention.
And still, there are people who WANT to be legislators. My compliments to REP. BUCKNER for being willing to put up with this sort of thing for HOURS at a time.
Buckner is my rep. I had to work, otherwise I would've seen her at her town hall yesterday, and personally congratulated her for her supreme ability to avoid, all week long, reacting with extreme cringe and uproarious laughter.
I don't get her math. 26.6% of adults are straight? Really?
Typo in the transcript, most likely. If you add up the other numbers it comes to 3.4% leaving 96.6% for straight (which is not the generally accepted figure anyway).
She;'s not a uh, mathematician. She's an uh, scientist.
Why you gotta try and set the bar so high?
I presume she will make a video so it can be shown in sex ed classes.
She doesn't want to, but she'll be forced to do it if the bill makes her explain it all to school kids.
Next on Joan Fiston, Healthcare Scientist:
The Cleveland Steamer … and You!
Just remember, whenever it seems like public discourse has hit bottom, someone will always take it deeper!
Poston is an "um scientist", because she is a medical lab technologist. That is a two year degree beyond a bachelor's degree, and enables one to analyze biological samples in a laboratory.
Poston's candidate page for HD23 doesn't mention sex ed; her main issues are denying funds for building or providing affordable housing, and reporting to ICE immigrants who are not criminals (no "sanctuary cities"). She also believes in miracles – she wants the roads fixed without raising taxes or tolls.
I've written slash fiction before, some of it explicit. And I've read many times that amount.
I'll be generous and assume that Joan Poston wants to post her fic of Draco fisting Harry or Goku fisting Vegeta online, but either her computer has crashed or she doesn't know how to navigate the forms on the slashfic sites.
Or she's simply afraid of the criticism and ridicule that would be likely to come her way. Because if her writing skills are as good as her verbal skills, she's unlikely to see a lot of kudos. And those commenters can be brutal.
I really hope they have her scheduled for an encore at budget time.
There is always the hearing before the Senate committee which will take up the bill.
