Apologies to Judy Collins not simply for the bastardization of her song title, but also for the subject I’m applying it to today. Namely, one of the newly elected howler monkeys senators from the dumpster fire that is the Tea Party wing of God’s Own Party, the modern day GOP.

Here we meet noted hog botherer, Joni Ernst (R-Dumbfuckistan). That should have read Iowa, but really Iowa WTF?

Joni first attracted attention to her campaign when in an effort to explain to supporters her stand on government spending, she said, that because she had castrated hogs during her youth, she knew how to cut pork. One can only assume she choose to express herself in a language they would understand.

Anyway, Joni also opposes the debunked right wing myth of the UN’s agenda 21. She is soft on voter suppression. Feels strongly that raising the minimum wage will not improve the economy. Voted against Medicaid expansion in Iowa and she is open to privatizing social security.

There is more of course and most of it equally distressing. However, I did find one ray of sunshine and a possible explanation for that sordid pile of bullshit boiler plate GOP policy stands. Seems Joni did vote to legalize medical cannabis oil.

I’d like to think those other policy positions are the result of her being high and not handling her shit as well as she once handled hog testicles. Either way, I don’t see the public good being served by her any better than the hogs came out from their interaction.
 Don’t bother they’re here.
