What a Shame

Mary Lou Bruner lost her Republican primary runoff for a seat on the powerful Texas state board of education on Tuesday night, just two months after a near-outright victory that would have put her on the brink of having a say in what more than five million schoolchildren learn in classrooms and read in textbooks.

The 69-year-old Bruner has posted on Facebook claims that Barack Obama is a gay prostitute, climate change is a hoax concocted by Karl Marx and that Obama’s healthcare overhaul was an orchestrated plot to wipe 200 million people from the US population. She also wrote that the flood from the biblical story of Noah’s Ark is what destroyed the dinosaurs, not a meteor as “concocted” by atheists.

I thought he took two of every kind of animal. Did he have something against dinosaurs?

In an interview with Dallas television station WFAA in the weekend before the runoff, she did not disavow her Facebook posts.

“When I wrote those things, I wasn’t even intending to run for the state board of education. I had no idea that I would,” she said.

Yes. They usually keep those things under wraps until after they're actually on the board.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
