Rick “Mr. 2%” Perry has decided that it’s time to get serious about winning the Presidency so he’s launched OCT – Occupy Crazy Town.

Rick has decided that bankers, you know, his base, should go to freekin’ jail.

In an apparent attempt to revive his campaign, Perry has decided that espousing anti-bank populism is the right approach. Perry said in a speech in New Hampshire today that the bankers who wrecked the economy should be thrown in jail and that he opposes executives at bailed out banks receiving bonuses.

Well, talk about arriving late.  Here’s ole Rick riding the caboose on the Obvious Train.

Rick says the solution is to pass a balanced budget amendment.  Nobody seems to understand how that would work.  It’s kinda like saying the solution to weeds in your lawn is to serve shrimp for dinner.  But it doesn’t matter – it’s all just bumper stickers anyway.

Somebody named Oliver sent me a link that I enjoyed this morning:  Why Republicans Embrace Simpletons and How it Hurts America.   It’s funny but oh so true.

Thanks to Stephen and Oliver for the heads-up.
