Dr Adequate writes: I see that Rick Perry has officially declared. Yeah, and Michele Bachmann won the straw poll in Iowa. The only logical conclusion one can make of this is obvious. Once again, Charles Manson didn't make parole.
Rick Perry. Governor of Texas. Under his leadership Texans have become the only people in the United States who have to drink their own sewage, thus saving us all the trouble of trying to think of a metaphor. Not all of Texas (yet), just one small part. Guess which part.

From Bachmann:
quote: I had my daughter do the HPV vaccine, it was free, why the hell not? After that she graduated junior college 3 weeks before she graduated high school, and unlike Bachmann's later educational "achievements," the JC is accredited. Perhaps Bachmann either doesn't understand the reliability of personal testimony as evidence or she doesn't understand the definition of the term retarded (although I thought that by the rules of the PC and anti-vaccination crowd, we are supposed to use the term "autistic"). A dictionary may be in order. Good thing for her I didn't write it, may have had to ask her campaign staff for a photo.Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

Whereas, as I pointed out, and as you can see, my one allusion to Herman Cain's well-known, widely-publicized "bimbo eruption" was to say that I'm not even going to talk about it right now. And I'm still not going to. I've let the whole thing pass and talked about his inexpertise in foreign policy. The very nastiest thing I've done is to mention in passing that the story exists, something that we all know. Dr A, congratulations on allowing the hypocritical promoters of cleanliness in politics show their true sleaze colors. You deserve something more than a POTM after this PWNED, How about the Jonathan Swift award for making ideologues look like the unexamined life folk they truly are. And I mean that for all 'sides' of the sleaze promoters. Argue the policy, not the peccadilloes (sorry, sometimes you have to spell it out and even then they still insist on misspelling {ex. Buzsaw}). After seeing Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin at their finest the wife said all candidates should be forced to be on the TV show "Are you smarter than a fifth grader". I learned about China having nuclear weapons from the 1965 World Book Year Book back in the third grade. Perhaps the grade level she asked for was a bit high for America's best and brightest potential representatives that are so vehemently defended by our political equivalent of creationists. I hope that you do not feel I have stepped on your irony game here, but I feel that even if in their face, the ideology will take precedence over the truth and we can both still find laughter out of tragedy in subsequent posts. OK some other posters, make us laugh, not necessarily till it hurts but because it hurts, and laughter is the only way to overcome the feeling of hopelessness when sharing this reality with infallible ideologues, be they political or religious in excuse. Ain't I terrible? Well back to studying Mideast history and Islam, the next grad class I have. Thanks folks for keeping me thinking and writing in the interim.Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

Awhile back you criticized me for using too many commas.
Can you handle a bit of constructive criticism for using too few spaces and paragraphs? Your post, while great in content, is poor in readability..Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

DBlevins writes: I'm fairly sure that there is nothing in the constitution that mandates English to be the primary language in order to become a state. At least I couldn't find it. I could be wrong, though. No, not wrong. This source, among hundreds, is as good as any. As if it is that difficult to verify. Guess Santorum doesn't know how to use the 'intertubes'. He must have been one hell of a lawyer, not knowing the core federal laws and cursing all others who do actually know how to look it up as snobs. Rather surprised he is not actively campaigning to lower the literacy rate. That is not the worst of it IMO, what is his and other Republicans problem with women having basic human rights? I don't want them nosing around in the wife's or daughters privates. What's the major malfunction, do they have mommy issues? Great, what's next, Ed Gein for president? Then again perhaps he is angling for his own entry in the upcoming DSM 5 to replace that 'intertube' definition. {ABE} How about a fun factoid.

I just find it rather ironic that those who praise the use of family connections over upward mobility in their economic thinking have, what would be to their followers, such interesting characters in their own background.
