In a bizarre turn of events that could only happen in Florida, this morning the Florida House of Representatives chambers have been overrun by a small but steadily growing mass of what appears to be mostly females.
Barricading themselves inside, this swelling group is chanting U ? TER ? US, then inexplicably breaking into fits of hysterical giggling.
When asked what steps are being taken to regain control and restore order, Florida House Sergeant at Arms replied, ?We are working closely with negotiators to bring this to a peaceful conclusion.?
When asked about their demands, he replied, ?It doesn?t really seem like they have any. They sent us a note that says,
We?re not coming out until 2014.
Send pizza and beer please.

Yours truly,
U?TER?US

Republican House members have been evacuated to an undisclosed location somewhere outside of the State. An unidentified source named Governor Scott Walker said they are at his house in Wisconsin. They are rumored to be attending bible studies and deep in prayer.
Florida House Speaker Rep. Dean Cannon (R) was observed being escorted out of the building by rather weary looking security guards. Reportedly, he had his fingers in his ears, and was chanting ?na-na-na-na-na.?
None of the GOP House members are available for comment. ?They won?t come back until the chanting stops,? said one harried looking assistant.
House Democrats appear blithely unconcerned however. In shirtsleeves and loose ties, most are munching on a bagel and sipping coffee, chatting it up with groups of curious onlookers.
When told of U-TER-US?s demands, Rep. Scott Randolph (D) replied, ?Cool. Let me know when the pizza gets here.?
At this time, Governor Rick Scott has not responded to media inquiries. He has promised to address this issue next week at a Tea Party Rally in Palatka. This morning he twatted a tweet saying he will announce a proposed tax on body parts used in reproductive events.
As the pizza arrived, a leader from U-TER-US demanded Rep. Randolph presence in the chambers. Disregarding security forces warnings and with an apparent disregard for his own safety, Randolph approached the chamber doors. He was quickly led inside. After a moment of hushed conversation, the chambers swelled with wild cheering. A few moments later he emerged, unharmed and gnawing on a piece of pizza.
When asked if U-TER-US had any further demands, he said, ?Well apparently they have a bunch. They directed me to this Facebook page.
?Let me know when U-TER-US needs me again,? Randolph continued.

This is not a joke. I'm proud to be one of the first members of the Uterati and pushed for it to trend on twitter yesterday. What's next? Can't say spleen, heart or liver?

'The Uterati' strikes back: Group responds to news that Dem shushed for saying uterus

Full
News that state Rep. Scott Randolph was scolded for saying the word uterus on the House floor has prompted hundreds of people to go online, and to say the word "uterus."
The story, which the Buzz told you about yesterday, has prompted a series of e-protests, and the creation of a Facebook page for the Uterus (632 fans as of this posting).
In case you missed it: Randolph's wife, Susannah, gave him the idea to use time during a House floor debate to argue that the only way she should could protect her rights as a woman was to "incorporate her uterus," since Republicans are fiercely anti-regulation when it comes to business. Democrats were later told not to talk about body parts on the House floor, because teenage pages were in the chamber.
"My #uterus is starting a PAC and a leadership fund -- U-PAC," Susannah Randolph posted on the Facebook page. "Who's in? Time to bring power back to the uterus."
The story has been picked up by Salon.com, and the woman's pop culture and gossip web site Jezebel. People on Twitter have making fake uterus film titles -- "My Big Fat Greek Uterus," and "The Manchurian Uterus" -- and commenters also have been going to the Florida House of Representatives Facebook page to say "uterus."
"Time to chastise Mr. Speaker (Dean) Cannon. Apparently he voted for a bill back in 2009 with the word 'utero' in it," someone posted on the Uterus Facebook page last night.
State Rep. Mark Pafford, D-West Palm Beach, commented below the post.
"That is crazy! In front of pages? little children...? OMG!"

This state embarrasses me sometimes. UTERUS??? There's not even a slang for it. Womb maybe??? WTF??? I just don't recall my crudest drunken bar conversations ever involving the uterus, fallopian tubes, or the seminiferous tubules, or the vas deferens. I hope I don't get banned for this.

There are reports coming in that the birthers are questioning the validity of this group and demanding President Obama prove he is from a Uterus.

I know - freaking ridiculous! :roll:

Uterus is a medical term and is G rated.

Is breast allowed? If not, it will be a rough October.

The Uterati are legion, since everyone has spent time in one. This to me is beyond the right to life argument. This is saying that a viable part of a woman that is responsible for keeping life is a dirty word, therefore making woman of all ages dirty. I'm really po'd about it.
