…First, a tip of my hat to Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis who opposes subsidizing lunches for low income children during summer break because “Hunger can be a positive motivator.” [laughter] Exactly. [laughter] Without hunger how will children ever learn to push a lever with their snouts to get a food pellet? [laughter] And as an owner of the Back to Basics Christian Bookstore Representative Davis knows these kids don’t need a hand out, they need a pep talk. It’s like Jesus said in Matthew, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was hungry and you said ‘Get a job.'” [laughter][applause] So,[applause] Representative Davis is truly looking out for Missouri’s children. But, who’s looking out for Representative Davis? Could it be that she’s never risen above the state legislature because she developed the anti-motivating habit of eating? [laughter] We must help her folks. People of Missouri, if you see Representative Davis at a restaurant or at a hot dog stand [laughter] or even through the window of her own dining room [laughter], do the right thing and, and take her food away. [laughter] [applause]…

Wouldn’t it be more effective to ridicule the people who voted for her? Letting poor Cyn take all the heat lets the real stooges off the hook. Poking fun at the wingnuts she represents might even set the stage for someone slightly progressive to run in that benighted district.
