It’s been said silence is golden - and deafening, too!
You could say, state Sen. Ronda Storms, R- You’re Alllllll Going To Hell!!!, has been hoisted on her own tongue.
Storms was being confronted last week on the Senate floor over her disingenuously titled “Academic Freedom Act,” which is little more than a ham-handed effort on her part to eventually wheedle the teaching of so-called “Intelligent Design” into the state’s biology classrooms, which just this year were allowed to enter the 21st Century to start teaching the settled science of Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
The Tug-Boat Annie of the Bible has denied in the past that her bill was indeed a stalking horse for the wizard-in-the-sky “Intelligent Design” advocates and it certainly would have been easy enough to merely restate her dubious position for the sake of her fellow senators.
Yet when she was asked repeatedly no fewer than four times by her colleagues whether, quite simply, the intent of her “Academic Freedom Act” (hardy-har-har) would allow science teachers supposedly teaching science to instead also teach “Intelligent Design” each time Maybelline’s worst nightmare ducked providing a direct answer.
Or perhaps, Valrico’s answer to the Tower of Babel preferred to that old adage, often attributed to Abraham Lincoln: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than speak out and remove all doubt.”
In any event, you could say, by her vow of silence Storm’s fellow senators received their answer loud and clear and - scary.

Thank goodness!! Just when I was beginning to think what a bunch of air heads we voted to Tallahassee some might have had enough of our local air head and shut her up, albeit, for this one any ways. Could it be they’ve had enough if her preaching & ranting? She’s taken our local ‘embarrassment’ up there for all to view.

Sharon Bevis is correct,we are not all idiots, referring to the possibility that constituants possibly would not re-elect Rhonda Storms next time around. That is to say over 50% of the voters were idiots because they got Storms elected.
Storms ran for State Senator, not for State Pastor, so she needs to keep her preaching at her church and out of Talahassee.

Well, Mr. Ruth, You nailed it on the head! You were absolutely correct in your assessment of Rhonda Storms. That dunderhead is an embarrassment to the folks that live in Valrico. She was obnoxious when she was a councilperson (although almost all of them are crazy), and is even worse now. She thinks she knows a lot, but everytime she opens her mouth, she proves how much she doesn’t know. All she wants is to be on TV! Keep after her...maybe the people that live in Valrico will wise up and not re-elect a moron/painted turd/officious/brain dead person again. We are not all idiots.

Apropos of nothing, is it just me, or does Nancy Pelosi look like Sam Jaffe in drag?

I personally do not think Rhonda Storm will run again. Who would you like to stir up the weather/
