Does it include a prayer to stop being delusional?

He’s all over the media, but one of my favorite lines is here.  Observing how Rick Perry said that we just need to turn the nation’s problems over to God —

Prayer can be meditative, healing, and humbling.  It can also be magical thinking.  Given how Perry has said he would govern by outsourcing to the supernatural, it’s worth asking if God is ignoring him.

I’m gonna tell you one thing – Rick Perry is so dumb that he can’t swallow his own spit, but he’s off and runnin’ for President because Dubya proved that all the American people want is for their President to be sure.  He can be wrong and he can be dumb, but if he’s bullheaded sure about something, that’s all they want.

Rick Perry has a one-word solution to all the country’s problems:  pray.  Remember after 9-11 when George Dubya had a one word solution – shop?

Crazy.  Completely crazy.

I honestly believe that if you told the American people that for sure we could solve all our problems by jumping, we’d have an Olympic hurdle team in every damn zip code.

We have dumbed down education so much in the country that we no longer want bumper sticker solutions – we want 4 letter solutions.

By the way, Texans for Public Justice welcomes Perry to the spotlight with a handy little pdf.

For you folks from foreign states, please let me explain that The Texas Governor has few if any official duties.  He appoints members to the various “commissions” in Texas in exchange for a campaign donation, is in charge of coyote control, liaison to the National Rifle Association, has been instrumental in cutting funding to already abysmal education and Medicaid programs, and occasionally commissions a redneck survey to see if he’s done enough to hurt minorities, poor people and Democrats.

A whole hand full of folks sent me the New York Times article, but I found the Texans for Public Justice on my own.
