Rebounding with fierce memorization after his iconic “Oops” moment, Rick Perry will never forget three things again.  Which three things, however, is a little iffy.

In a radio interview Friday morning on Savannah, Georgia’s WTKS-AM, Perry was asked which three departments he planned to shut down if elected president.

“Three right off the bat, you know, Commerce, Interior and Energy are three that you think,” Perry answered.

Well, think about it.  Interior and Education certainly do sound a lot alike.  Most of us are damn proud that he could name any three departments.

And for Friday’s Most Weird Campaign Website Ever, try this sucker.

Thanks to Jose for the heads-up on the weird website.

Rush Limbaugh went on the radio this morning and said that my Governor,  Rick Perry, is like Castro.

After hearing Perry attack so-called “vulture capitalism” and hit Romney for presiding over layoffs at companies Bain helped buy out, Limbaugh was incensed.

“That is indefensible!” he fumed. “It’s absurd … this is the language of leftists! This is the way Fidel Castro thinks, or says he thinks.”

That’s just crazy.  And it is not true.

Fidel Castro talks in complete sentences.

Fidel Castro knows when to quit.

Fidel Castro never, ever named anything the N word.

Thanks to Richard for the heads-up.

And, of course, headlines like this —

And there’s this by a little website called Winning Our Future, which was a actually their second choice for a name.  The first choice:  Swiftboat Veterans for Newth.

So, hell, if Armageddon is coming to Republicans in South Carolina, I need some damn popcorn.

Let’s keep our priorities straight.  You cannot watch Armageddon without popcorn.  Okay, so maybe you can.  In all honesty, I haven’t read the rules.  However, the question is this – why would you want to?

In the comment section, please review your favorite choice for popcorn.  Somebody do the research – are their any popcorn makers who donate to Democrats?  Is microwave popcorn better than home popped?  Do they still make Jiffypop that you do on the stove top?  That stuff tasted like cardboard but it was cool to watch.

Popcorn reviews and recipes in the comment section.

Trying to explain economics to Republicans is like trying to shovel smoke.

Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer, who makes Sarah Palin look like a physics professor, decided to make some money for the cash-strapped state by selling the State Capitol and some other public buildings to a private company and then leasing them back.  So, in 2010, she sold them for $81 million.

Now she wants to buy them back for the Capitol’s 100th anniversary … for $105 million.

I’d love to be her banker because the way Ms. Brewer sees it, the $24 million loss is  actually a savings, because , in her words, “If the state had taken the full 20 years to pay off the debt, the cost would be far more.”

So, Honey, $24 million is fair interest on $81 million for two years.   Who did you sell it to?  Payday Lenders or American Express.

Thanks to Stephen and Ralph for the heads-up.

Last night, Bubba was sitting watching the teevee.  Out of the clear blue, he said to me, “Ya know, I bet more people came to your little website yesterday than voted for Rick Perry in New Hampshire.”

“Nah,” I replied.  “New Hampshire is a whole state and I’m just a little ole beauty salon in a small Texas town.”

But, out of curiosity, I went to check.

Oh good Lord, Rick.  Hang it up.  I whipped your butt.  That has got to hurt, mainly because I spend $20 a month on this website and Rick spent $5 million so far.

But I ain’t getting the big head, because right off the top of my head I can think of 70 or 80 things in my little town that are more popular than Rick Perry.  Starting with my dog.

And the Ebola virus.

Okay, okay, I’ll quit.
