Jobs or evolution?

Speaking of Rick Perry, the Left, as usual, is hammering him over his alleged disbelief in evolution. His religious belief actually is their unspoken agenda.

“Unemployment is 9.1%, the economy is in the tank and you’re worried about a candidate’s position on how old the planet is?

It’s the usual Democrat ploy. With Palin, it’s abortion. With Perry it’s evolution. Gotta keep the feckless Obamalot in the White House somehow.

UPDATE: It gets worse. Smearing Bachmann as a racist. Pathetic.

Rick Perry’s first celebrity endorsement

Singer, songwriter, mystery novelist, and sometime failed politician Kinky Friedman says he would vote for Charlie Sheen over Obamalot (“Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay.”)

But, all in all, the famed leader of the Texas Jew Boys band of the 1970s, and continuing iconoclastic Hill Country celebrity, prefers Perry:

“So would I support Rick Perry for president? Hell, yes! As the last nail that hasn’t been hammered down in this country, I agree with Rick that there are already too damn many laws, taxes, regulations, panels, committees, and bureaucrats. While Obama is busy putting the hyphen between ‘anal’ and ‘retentive’ Rick will be rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.”

Worth a read in full, here.

Perry for President

I’ve always liked Rick Perry. I like the idea of the governor being an Aggie, a farmer and a former C-130 pilot. And I like the idea of Anita being the First Lady of Texas. What a babe.

As for Rick’s chances of becoming president, well, he’s already being outed for what looks like a potential kickback scandal, whether it actually is or not. His contributor cronies are getting millions in state tax money which, whatever the legality and good intentions of it, smells rotten.

Meanwhile, I still think no white man is going to beat Obamalot, pathetic as he is, in these times of cultural decline. The first black president, and all that. It will take a woman or a minority to do it. So far, there is no strong GOP minority candidate. Michele Bachmann is the only viable woman. I’m still hoping Sarah decides to run.

Sending a message to D.C.

portrait-webBorn a tenant farmer, graduated an Aggie, flew C-130s in the AF, and now headed for an unprecedented third consecutive term as governor (much to the disgust and dismay of liberals everywhere), Rick Perry rides again. Only the Obama-loving legacy media was surprised last night when Perry (friend of the Tea Partiers and Sarah Palin) beat Sen. Hutchinson and Ms. Medina. The Dems nominated a mayor of Houston. Good luck with that. The Dems haven’t won a statewide race since 1994. And Roger Simon likes Rick, too.

Debra vs Goliath

JD Allen of Mouth of the Brazos likes her. Indeed, he’s planning to vote for her, though, as usual, he’s conflicted with politics. The former GOP chairwoman turned Tea Partier has shot up in the polls. There’s just one problem. Besides running on Gov. Rick Perry’s platform, she has no campaign money.

UPDATE:  And now, thanks to Glenn Beck, we know why no serious money is backing her. She’s over. Adios, Debra.

Rick Perry, piloting Texas

The daily’s Jason Embry has three good pieces today on Gov. Rick Perry. Only one real surprise for me: I never knew Perry flew C-130s in the Middle East and Europe in the 1970s. I imagine, along with most everyone else, that, with or without Sarah to campaign with him, he’s a shoo-in for an unprecedented third term.

Little Bits

* Back when I used to eat sugar with abandon, Necco wafers were my favorites. Just as well I can’t eat them anymore. They’ve turned organic, flavored by such as red beet juice. Sounds dreadful.

* Dick Cheney is backing Kay Bailey Hutchinson for governor. Lordy. While Sarah plumps for Rick Perry. This could be a dustup. What is it about Republicans? Why do they so often choose suicide?

* This weekend I expect to be eating leftover, stale candy corn. A little, anyhow. Might as try a Necco.

* Mr. B., upon learning that his cub scout pack will be picking up trash after his school’s Halloween carnival on Saturday: "That’s the thing about the scouts. There’s the good parts and the bad parts."

* Happy to see this old photo I snatched years ago still draws ’em in. A score or more hits a day, in fact.
