Former Texas Senator Phil Gramm, who is uglier than a mud fence and that’s his best point, retired from the Senate after starting the fire that led to the economic meltdown.  He now runs UBS, a bank whose sole purpose is to allow rich Americans to hide money from the IRS.

Paul Krugman called him the high priest of de-regulation.  CNN ranked Gramm number seven in its list of the 10 individuals most responsible for the current economic crisis.  He shoved The Enron Loophole through congress right before he retired, which is what allowed the scandal to happen.  If you work for a living, Phil Gramm wakes up every morning dreaming of ways to hurt you.

If you addressed a letter to the devil, the mailman would put it in Phil Gramm’s box.  That’s the truth.

If the big dogs are ganging up on the little dogs, you can bet your last dollar that Phil Gramm is behind it.

However, let it now be said that Phil Gramm is just pure evil.  He’ll even bite the hand that feeds him.

Lookie right here.  It’s a PDF from the SEC saying UBS ain’t the PTA because they are having to pay a $32 million fine.

So, dude, if you’ve got something that needs running, I wouldn’t be hiring Phil Gramm.

Phil was last seen at his ranch in Helotes, Texas, counting his money and screwing Dickie Flatt.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads-up.

Big News.

Washington (CNN) – At least five members of Newt Gingrich’s senior campaign staff resigned Thursday, sources told CNN, but the Republican presidential candidate pledged he would start his campaign “anew.”

My bet?  No gifts from Tiffany’s.

Plus, I’ve heard from two women that he’s real hard to get along with.

I have often said that the only reason I write a non-blog is to read the comments. I have the best commenters on the web.

Now we know why.

Israeli researchers found that when people overheard anger conveyed in a sarcastic way, they were better able to solve creative problems, according to a recent report in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

I am not terribly creative, but apparently I am a carrier.

Sarcasm is just another of the free friendly services offered here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.

Check this out.  If you can speak bimbo, you need to volunteer.

Over 24,000 e-mail messages to and from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska’s governor will be released Friday. That’s a lot of email for us to review so we’re looking for some help from Fix readers to analyze, contextualize, and research those emails right alongside Post reporters over the days following the release.

History buffs may want to stand down.  It might be frightening.

Folks in these parts know for sure that Juanita is not a fan of Texas State Senator Dan Patrick.

“That man is as worthless as cornflake recipes,” she sighs at the mention of his name.

He may well be the the Prince of Pander on Pander Hill.  He’s also thinking that Texas Republicans are dumber than bean dip.  He is, of course, right.

Dan The Pander Man

Dan is heavily pondering on running for United States Senate.  Now, the front runner for the GOP nomination is a guy named David Dewhurst, who is the Lt. Governor of Texas.  Dewhurst has not announced yet because  the Lege is still in session.

So, real quick like, before the Lege ends and Dewhurst announces, Dan Patrick runs out and commissions a poll.  The poll gives him 19% of the vote, with the next highest guy getting 11%. And even though 58% of the people polled said, “Are you stinkin’ kidding?  These jokers are my only choices?” Dan Patrick announced himself as the front runner for United States Senate among Republicans.

So, he’d strutting around the state capitol with his pudgy little chin all stuck out and hasn’t a clue that everybody is snickering.
