This sucker arrived in my email box at 1:00 am in the morning.  Team Perry has to be nauseous this morning from all the spin.  Click the little one to get the big one.

Comparing himself to President Obama, Ronald Regan, and Gerald Ford, Rick Perry is trying to raise money off his … uummm, let’s just call it his “little problem”.  He wants you to send him $5 for every governmental agency you want to do away with.

Seriously.

No, seriously.  He’s serious.

You can email him at forgetmenot@rickperry.com  and let him know which governmental agency you would like to get rid of.  How ’bout the Office of Oopsy General?

After the debate, Rick Perry said that he was glad he had his boots on because he “sure stepped in it.”  No, Honey, you are it.

Okay, I feel kinda bad for suggesting that somebody needs to bite Joe Walsh’s wagging finger.

Somebody took it to heart.

A poll worker suspected of trying to bite off the nose of a voter during an Election Day argument surrendered to sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday.

James N. Williams turned himself in at the Justice Center, which houses police headquarters and the courts, and was jailed to await possible charges, police spokesman Sgt. Sammy Morris said. The case was investigated as a suspected felonious assault.

Williams, 53, is accused of trying to bite off the nose of a voter who helped a campaign volunteer in an argument over signs posted near a Cleveland polling place on Tuesday.

Trying to spite someone else’s face maybe?

Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.

Rick Perry wants to get rid of three governmental departments. Department of Commerce, Department of Education, and the Department of My Campaign is Over.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.”

Barry Goldwater, 1994

Thanks to Larry and Sue for the heads-up.

Polls closed in Mississippi. All fertilized eggs must return to the womb even if already in line to vote.

Thanks to Sam in Pearland for the heads-up

You know, hopes went high yesterday when the three judge panel ruled that Texas Republicans really screwed up redistricting.  We are hoping to get some new Democratic seats in the Lege.

But, if that doesn’t work, we can always just sit back and watch while they march off to prison.

Republican State Representative Joe Driver, who would steal a widow woman’s kindling, has been indicted for double billing his campaign account and the State of Texas for travel expenses.

Or, we could just sit back and watch them talk themselves into a ditch while having it floored in neutral.  The Colbert Report did a dandy job on Texas Republican State Representative Larry Taylor, who remembered a tad too late that he wasn’t talking behind Republican closed doors.
