Where are Jake and Elwood when we need them?

Art Jones, who hopes to challenge Democrat Dan Lipinski in Illinois' 3rd Congressional District, neither denies nor repudiates his past affiliation with the neo-Nazi Party. Republican Congressional Candidate Says 'Holocaust Never Happened':

Arthur Jones, 64, a Lyons, IL, insurance salesman who organizes family-friendly, neo-Nazi events around Adolf Hitler’s birthday, hopes to be the Republican candidate chosen to run against Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski in Illinois’ 3^rd Congressional District.

“As far as I’m concerned, the Holocaust is nothing more than an international extortion racket by the Jews,” Jones said. “It’s the blackest lie in history. Millions of dollars are being made by Jews telling this tale of woe and misfortune in books, movies, plays and TV.

"The more survivors, the more lies that are told."

A member of the Nationalist Socialist Party in his younger days, Jones took part in the Nazis’ march on Chicago’s Marquette Park in 1978. While he doesn’t deny nor repudiate his “past affiliations,” he says he votes Republican “90 percent of the time.”

“Philosophically, I’m a National Socialist,” Jones said. “Officially, I don’t belong to any party except my own, the America First Committee.”

Well, for those Tea-Publicans in the GOP primary running against this Nazi, all you will need is this classic scene from The Blues Brothers (below the fold) for an ad:

Now that the "strike everything" bill HB 2625, the Christian Taliban aka Center for Arizona Policy bill (similar to the "Blunt Amendment" in Congress) to give employers and insurance companies the right to make healthcare decisons for women by denying them contraceptive coverage has passed our Tea-Publican House, I would urge the Democratic Caucus to offer innovative amendments in the Senate.

Virginia state Sen. Janet D. Howell (D-Fairfax) didn’t think much of a bill that would require women to have a transvaginal ultrasound before undergoing an abortion. Viagra regs paired with abortion rules:

When the proposed legislation came up for a preliminary vote in the Senate Monday, Howell offered a floor amendment that just about floored her colleagues.

“Prior to prescribing medication for erectile dysfunction, a physician shall perform a digital rectal examination and a cardiac stress test,” Howell said, reading the amendment aloud. “Informed consent for these procedures shall be given at least 24 hours before the procedures are performed."

“I just think we should have a little gender equity here,” Howell added.

The amendment failed, though not by much, in a 19-21 vote.
