It Ain’t Easy Being a Hooter Toter in Texas
Texas Governor Rick Perry is running for President. Texas Senator Carnival Cruz (adrift, stinky, and mired in poop) is running for President, too.
So, both being from Texas, they have to decide who’s the meanest.
Rick Perry has a good start.
In the past two years, Texas legislators slashed funds for family planning and passed up $30 million a year in federal Medicaid money, largely to squeeze Planned Parenthood out of the state’s women’s health programs. Researchers say nearly 200,000 Texas women have lost or could lose access to contraception, cancer screenings, and basic preventive care, especially in low-income, rural parts of the state.
His first target is poor women. They vote Democratic so their health is not important.
Women are suffering and dying because of these political cuts, meanwhile Rick Perry used $3 billion in taxpayer passed bonds for cancer research to reward his political cronies.
Look, I know he’s going to hell for this. I know that. But, I just want to make sure he doesn’t go to the White House with it beforehand.
So, call your congressman and ask them to pass a law that no Texan can be President for the next 20 years. Every woman, child, and person with cancer in Texas will be better off.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
I bet if we could get that passed, Bushbaby P would return to Florida or at least move out of Texas.
1I thought Cruz was from Canada. Don’t skeer me like that.
2Star, you would win that bet for sure!
3JJ, I know you love Texas, but honey, I just don’t think the country could survive another Prez from there.
4I just wish that all the folks going to hell would get on with it and leave the rest of us alone.
5The alleged safety net is almost all hole.
6Ray, I just wish all those folks who believe in Rapture would get on with it so the rest of us could live in peace.
7People who make political points by destroying other peoples’ lives are scum. Just flat-out scum.
8I’ve actually been reading online debates about Teddy’s presidential prospects. Now they’re saying he could possibly be president because his mother was American so he automatically got US citizenship as soon as he was born. It’s funny that this rationale would be applied to a Republican candidate but not a (black) Dem.
9Marge Wood, yes, ted was born in Canada. The best I can figure out that his only American parent was his mama. What will really torch his chances for the presidency will be his papa’s association with Fidel Castro. Long time ago papa was an armed member of his revolutionary forces shooting at some of the people who now live in south Florida. Then papa got a divine message and did a U-turn, landing in — are you ready for it? — Texas. My bet is someone somewhere has an old photo of papa cruz in uniform toting a Russian made rifle and maybe even standing over some dead bodies.
10Cruz is one more reason to applaud Canada’s rationality and good taste. They got rid of him. I’d suggest we keep sliding him south, but I just don’t hate Mexico. Maybe just south of the Diego Ramírez Islands would work.
11The good news is that some of this money might come back.

The bad news is, it isn’t because Perry gives a furry rodent patootie about women’s health, or anything trivial like that. It’s just that other people have noted there are some big numbers involved.
