Georgia State Rep. Terry England has managed to outdo Stinque’s Department of Lady-Bits’ previous Georgia highlight, the Peach State Uterus Police with a new piece of legislation that made my jaw drop, which is saying something, given I’m at least a Lieutenant or a One Star General in the Lady-Bits Army.

Rep. England splained on the floor of the Georgia Legislature that women who learn they are carrying a fetus that has died or is near death should carry the festering fetus around inside of them, because that’s what cows and pigs do.  Oh, and he knows somebody named Jethro who is a cockfighter who will give up all of his chickens if the ladies just stop killing the unborn zygotes.

In all the distraction of Breitbart dying, Rush Limbaugh opened his trap yesterday.  After a Georgetown University law student was infamously prevented by Republicans from being the one woman to speak at the opening panel at the hearing on contraception coverage, she spoke at a “counter-hearing” organized by Rep. Nancy Pelosi about the issue.

Apparently that tied Rush’s knickers in a big knot, and on Wednesday he denounced this young woman as a “slut” and “prostitute” for wanting birth control pills covered the same as any other medication by her insurance plan.  Yesterday he called on her to make a sex tape and post it on the Internet to compensate taxpayers for having to cover her pills.

We shall see what insanity spews out of his hole today, but what Nojo said about Breitbart made me realize I can’t wait to speak ill of a dead Rush.

From the Internal Revenue Service:

Jeopardizing Tax-Exempt Status

After an organization qualifies for 501(c)(3) status, it must continue to act in furtherance of its exempt purposes to keep its tax-exempt status.

There are five types of activities that can jeopardize that status. These are:

• Private benefit/inurement,
• Lobbying,
• Political campaign activity, and
• Activities generating excessive unrelated business income (UBI).
• Failure to comply with annual reporting obligation.

Some of these activities are absolutely prohibited, while others are restricted.
