Governor Rick Perry is having bad luck in the thinking department again.

He has decided that the blame for NSA spying is one place:  our congress meets all year long.

Perry says this doesn’t happen in Texas because our legislature meets for only 140 days every two years.  Perry thinks if congress meets less, they won’t think up things to do.

No, he seriously said that.  I dunno know if he listens to himself talk but I doubt it because it would give him a real bad headache.

“The reason I truly believe we need a part time Congress is because when they’re not there all the time, they’re not sitting around dreaming up new things to do to us — or for us, in their opinion,” he explained.

Just think, America could be next to  last in education, last in health care and first in teen pregnancy if only congress would quit meeting so damn much.

According to Kenneth D. Ackerman, who keeps information like this, congress met for exactly 126 days last year, so they met less than the Texas Lege.

Bless his heart, watching Rick Perry try to think is painful.

Thanks to Frank for the heads up.
