Salon’s Justin Elliott has some hawt new/old dirt on prancing Texas dingbat Rick Perry’s cozy ties with neoconfederate Rebel Flag types. The question with such revelations is, “Do they hurt Perry or help him?” Because in almost every case over the past forty years or so, a Republican presidential hopeful’s ties to fringe right and [...]
Thank you, Washington Post, our crappy lunch tasted better on the way back up. The killjoys in editorial have already changed this headline to read “Rick Perry has ‘huge’ opening as many in the GOP establishment remain uncommitted,” which does not matter because we now have our screen capture for the rest of eternity and [...]
Sex advice columnist Bristol Palin continues to roam the lower 48 doling out her witty repartee and shilling copies of her college entry essay (just kidding) to thousands of borderline-illiterate consumers who keep asking her when they can see the free teevee version instead. Who will get to play Bristol? We pick, uh, Matt Damon? [...]
The budget heroes of Alt0, Texas have run the numbers, and they have concluded the town’s police force was just not very lucrative when it came to the town’s revenues, probably because police are typical “government freeloaders.” Snip saw hack! So the city council cut the police department from the budget, fired all the policemen [...]
It is Election Season, which means that every legislative agenda item across America is now required to pointlessly pander to everyone’s weirdest fears by passing laws against stupid things like “saying Sharia Law while riding an escalator” or “explaining to children that gay people exist.” But Texas, because it is Bigger at Everything, wants to [...]
The Mexicans might be taking over the rest of America with their anchor babies and their Taco Bells, but God help Texas GOP Sen. Chris Harris if they will try to oppress him with their devil language while he is at work trying to oppress them. Texas lawmakers are busy trying to pass an Arizona-style [...]
Texas Governor Rick Perry’s National “Prayer-a-palooza” abdication ceremony is now officially doomed to failure, because Rick Perry has been holding out on God in the financial department by a serious margin. Rick Perry earned $2.68 million from 2000 to 2009, of which he donated 0.5% to charity. Regular Americans donate an average of 1.2% of [...]
Texas Governor Rick Perry has declared he can’t solve the state’s problems, so from now on official government policy is “pray, everybody.” Perry is holding a day of fasting and prayer called “The Response” at a sports stadium in Houston on August 6th, which everyone can now consider the “effective date” for God’s taking over [...]
Wingnut oppression alert! A judge has banned a high school in San Antonio from using certain religious words at its graduation ceremony, after an agnostic student filed suit claiming he would suffer “irreparable harm” if he had to sit through that. We don’t blame him! But the school’s valedictorian is insisting that she needs to [...]
As every other “serious GOP candidate” but Mitt Romney decides they don’t want to lose to Obama next year, Rick Perry has been sitting in his office in Texas wondering if maybe this is the way God is telling him to run for president. After all, Rick is a white Christian of the approved Tex-American [...]
