Am I imagining it, or are people getting crazier?

I saw a news item this morning about Bob Morris, a Republican member of the house of representatives from Indiana, who is claiming that the Girl Scouts is a radical organization that promotes abortion and homosexuality.  Even his own party is taking a dim view of this, with Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma shaking his head over the statements.

Morris’ comments were the butt of jokes inside the House on Tuesday, with Bosma spending much of the day handing out Thin Mints to lawmakers. He joked that Morris’ comments led him to buy hundreds of cases of the famous Girl Scout cookies.

"I purchased 278 cases of Girl Scout cookies in the last four hours," said a clearly sarcastic Bosma, who closed Tuesday’s session by asking the former Girl Scouts in the chamber to stand up.

Morris’ comments about the Girl Scouts came in a letter he sent to House Republicans on Saturday that said he had conducted some research on the Internet and discovered that the scouts are a "tactical arm" of Planned Parenthood.

Come to think of it, that explains Lady Wife’s Partial Birth Abortion merit badge.

In other news, I’m going to order 500 of these and keep them with my business cards:
