Considering the fodder I'm exposed to from living in AZ, I'm thinking of starting a "WTF Friday" series dedicated to the mind-blowing regressive politics of this state.
"Those documents can be either a long-form birth certificate or two or more other permitted documents, including an early baptismal certificate, circumcision certificate, hospital birth record, postpartum medical record signed by the person who delivered the child or an early census record.
If a candidate failed to submit required documents or the secretary of state deemed them insufficient, the candidate would not be listed on Arizona's ballot."
And from Democrat Ruben Gallego: "Arizona is the first state to pass a birther bill. We look pretty much backward," Gallego said. "You might as well change Arizona to Alabama."
Earlier this morning I hard one of our representatives repeating Donald Trump's drivel that this bill is important because it asks for the "long-form birth certificate" not that crappy, clearly forged "certificate of live birth" nonsense that Obama is peddling these days.
Rushing head-first into the 19th century? Yup, that's Arizona.
In other news: No AAUW funding for me, back to the grant-writing board. Anyone else feels like writing for grants is like pissing into a fan? Why do I even bother trying to write a good grant when all I'm going to get is rejected anyway? Something tells me that next year's job search is going to be equally long, time-consuming, stressful, and ultimately depressing.
