Y’all, Rick Perry is not just an average idiot – he’s a nuclear powered, lightning bolt, steam driven idiot.

So he trots off to speak at a coal plant in West Virginia, promising to get those poor people their crappy jobs in the coal mines back.

Then he opens his mouth.

Demand follows supply?  Oh, okay, if you say so.  On the other hand, this pretty much explains Republican economics for the past 50 years.

Honey, this news just thrills Thelma’s cousin, Betty Lynn Bodacious, whose collection of Beanie Babies fills two warehouses and a Hoarders episode.  She’s finally gonna make that big killing in the Beanie Baby market ’cause she’s got a mess of ‘um.

Somebody tell Rick that nobody is buying coal because (1) it’s too expensive, (2) it’s freekin’ sooty, and (3) it’s heavy to transport.  Hell, even when Donald Trump promoted “clean, beautiful coal,” people giggled.

Here, think about this.  If you’re a real bad kid, what does Santa Claus leave in your stocking? There ya go.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
