Rick Perry has a new ad in Iowa.  It’s dripping Jesus and flags and stuff

Really?  He’s still running ads?

As my friend Kary says, “Isn’t it time he cashes in and releases a line of barbeque  sauces or scented Bibles or something productive to add to his millions?”

And Texas taxpayers are paying every day to keep him safe in Iowa.  I think it’s money well spent if they keep him in Iowa.

Thanks to Kary for the heads-up.

Bubba Jr just texted me this picture from the Charlotte airport —

Anybody want to go?

Y’all, it’s Louie Gohmert again.

Somebody gave him a microphone.  Louie used it.  Not for good, but for evil.

GOHMERT: Mr. Speaker, there are those who don’t want people to mention the word ”Christmas,” and there’s an easy solution. For those who don’t want to mention Christmas, don’t want to observe Christmas, then if they take the holiday, just agree to give back the money, because the money earned on a holiday shouldn’t be taken for those who don’t think it should be a holiday. That’s easy enough.

Oh Louie, that level of nuts almost hurts.

Thanks to Robert for the heads-up.

I love Fox News charts, especially this one.

Customer Brian sent us another one:

Okay, notice that the drop between October and November is the largest change but the line stays the same.  The 8.6% is the lowest number but the chart shows that it’s the same as 9.0%.

Personally, I’m wondering how that chart would look if the title was “Unemployment Rate Under The Republican Controlled Congress.”

And Fox News viewers are surprised that they are dumb as fried dirt.

Newt Gingrich does not lie.  We know that because Newt Gingrich says the the Clinton impeachment was not about sex, but about perjury.  Surely a man so set on punishing perjury would not hisownself be a  liar.

Oops.

Newt Gingrich claims that it was his first wife, not Gingrich himself, who wanted their divorce in 1980, but court documents obtained by CNN appear to show otherwise.

Newt claims that his first wife was the one who wanted a divorce, not him.  He even says that on his website.  From the case documents, it’s obvious that’s not true.

Now, I understand that Newt has been divorced so many times that it’s hard to keep them all straight.  But, it appears that both his previous wives were surprised that he wanted a divorce.  And, personally, I think that’s why he married Calista – bless her heart, her face has been botoxed into a perpetual state of surprise.  That way, Newt won’t know her reaction when it’s her turn.

That last thing is just a guess on my part.  I don’t know that for sure.

Thanks to Brian for the heads-up.

Sometimes Rick Perry’s ego is bigger than his brain.  Okay, not sometime, pretty much all the time.

When he started this “Any Ole Boy Down At the Icehouse Can Be President World Tour” thing, he said of the tax dollars he was spending for security —

“I’m going to be promoting Texas,” Perry said in July, as he began to traverse the country. “I’m going to be traveling to places where the Texas story needs to be told, and we will tell it.”

Democratic State Representative Jessica Farrar, who is one of my favorite people for many reasons, one of them being her uncanny ability to see the obvious, replied that Perry’s travels have been more of a black eye for Texas than a benefit. She said the governor deserves to have state-provided security but said he should use some of the $17 million he has reported raising for his campaign to help defray the costs.

“If he’s promoting Texas, he’s been an embarrassment,” Farrar said. “He could have paid for this out of campaign funds, especially given that he’s asked the Texas taxpayers to tighten their belts. “

From September to mid-December of this year, Perry’s out of state security has cost Texas taxpayers more than $1.4 million.  We’re firing teachers and have a shortage of cops.

I guess I’m saying that Rick Perry needs more of those teachers and fewer of those cops.

Since he started running for President, Americans now have to look at the actual statistics to see that Mississippi is dumber than Texas.  You cannot tell that by listening to our Governor.

Rick, come home where we are perfectly willing to spend $10,000 a month to hide you out in a gated community away from the spotlight or the Governor’s mansion.
