Herman (Sugar) Cain has come out into the sunlight to endorse Newton Gingrene for president. This is known as destiny. A chubby black guy who'll mainly be remembered for making millions selling pizzas and repeatedly cheating on his wife endorses a chubby white guy who's spent millions on pizzas and repeatedly cheated on his wives. It's a match made in heaven. It'll almost definitely gain Gingrene

The state of Texas was footing the bill for Perrito's "security detail" while he was out on the campaign trail -- and the bills are still rolling in after the campaign crashed and burned. One estimate of the total costs when all's said and done is over a million bucks. Rick says it's proper for Texas taxpayers to foot this bill, because when he's away from Texas, he's always promoting Texas.

The bad news is that Gangrene Gingrich won the South Carolina primary. That's bad news because Newter is such a repulsive POS that it pisses me off to see him as happy and as full of himself as he is tonight. Fuck him. The good news is that Rick Sanitorium is one step closer to the exit door. One by one, the religious fanatics are being culled out and that's a good thing for America. On the

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times -- some conservative asshole on talk radio or a cable news channel repeating the assertion that government cannot and does not create jobs. Now we have soon-to-be-former presidential candidate P-Rick tooling around South Carolina bragging about the million or so jobs he created in Texas. Okay, the motherfucker's lying or he's just so dumb that

Former First Dude Todd Palin has announced his endorsement in the GOP race, and it's the Newter. In the day's top news story, the guy across the street experienced a power outage for several hours. Some ground beef in his refrigerator spoiled, and all his ice cubes melted.

The unemployment rate has dropped for the fourth consecutive month, although it's still high at about 8.5 percent. This is the kind of headline that must have Republicans pissing blood... and the election is still months away. An improving economy, even one that's improving in tiny increments, may take enough pressure off Obama that the GOP can't risk running someone like Santorum or Gingrich,

People who live in Iowa are like certain species of insects that appear in biological cycles. Most of the time, they wander around their cornfields, quietly muttering their prayers, and no one beyond the state borders gives a damn what they think or do. They might as well be in a dormant state. Then, for about six months every four years, Iowans suddenly emerge into the light of day, and we're

When I'm out shopping, I normally park somewhere on the perimeter of the lot. I need the exercise provided by the extra steps, and I want to avoid squeezing into a space between two other vehicles. A few months ago, I went to Half Price Books and for some reason, the parking lot was filled almost to capacity. I had no choice except to slip my Jetta between two of those behemoth pickups that are

Moochele Bachmann continues her campaign to prove that she has no business being in the House of Representatives, much less the White House, by claiming that the Occupy Wall Street (or Occupy Whatever) movement is somehow interested in re-electing Obama. Somebody loan this bimbo a few dollars so she can maybe buy a clue.

Sugar Cain has officially announced the suspension of his campaign for the White House. Not ended, just suspended. This is a marketing gimmick most recently used successfully by snow bunny Sarah Palin. The idea is to exploit an ambiguous, indefinite candidacy to remain in the public eye, selling books (or at least lots of pages bound in hardcover) and appearing on Fox News Channel to pontificate

An influential right-wing newspaper in New Hampshire is endorsing Newter instead of Mittenful, based on his hardcore right-wing credentials. This is thought to be significant because most Republican voters in N.H. apparently are guided by the bullshit they read on an editorial page.

How fucked up is the Republican Party ? Here's how fucked up they are: Newtered is now in the lead for the nomination -- with 24 percent. That may not sound like much support, but it's more than Sugar Cain and El Perrito put together (22 percent).

Obama recently said Americans are lazy, so he's pathetic (according to Little Ricky) and doesn't understand the American people (according to Mittenful). There are plenty of reasons to criticize Obama, but this isn't one of them. Republicans are getting desperate, and Perrito may be the most desperate of them all. That lying motherfucker is an embarrassment to the whole fucking state of Texas,

Moochele Bachmann has her undies in a wad over the flaming liberal media bias that prevents her from getting first crack at every question asked by the moderators in televised GOP debates. Somebody should explain this falls into what once was referred to as the T.S. category, and she should shut her pie hole about it. Hell, Huntsman never gets any hugs either... do you hear him bitching about it

I fell into one of my dark moods while driving this morning and switched the AM radio station to Lardass Limbaugh's program, just in time to hear fat boy's attempted wisecrack about the women with harassment complaints against Sugar Cain wanting to "synchronize their menstrual periods." It's obvious that Limbaugh hates women. It doesn't require a degree in psychology to figure out the reasons

More stories keep popping up about Sugar Cain and women other than Mrs. Cain. The latest story in USA Today attaches a name, a face, and some details about the misconduct, and now I'm asking myself why Republicans are so crazy about this guy. What is he putting on the table that causes conservatives to make excuses for his sorry ass ? Are they really that fucking desperate ?

El Perrito is hinting that he may cut back on his participation in what seems like an endless series of Republican debates... additional evidence that he's probably the most chickenshit individual to ever seek the White House. Bachmann needs to give him pointers on manning up.

El Perrito, pushed into a dark corner of the GOP campaign by the godfather of pizza, has emerged with an announcement that he'll implement the so-called flat tax when he's president. This horseshit reminds me of G.W. Bush in 2000, after reform candidate John McCain kicked his sorry ass in the early primaries. Bush, never an original thinker, began referring to himself as The Reformer with Results

This afternoon we saw the new George Clooney movie called The Ides of March. It's about politics, and the film's title suggests the direction in which the events in the story are headed. Clooney plays a governor running for the Democratic nomination in a presidential election, and at first glance he would seem to be the ideal candidate.

Slate has a brief analysis worth reading. It deals with the pizza guy's attractiveness to GOP primary voters which boils down to this: Herman is appealing because his ideas are simple and easy to understand. If there's one sure thing in life, it's that conservatives love simple solutions to complicated problems. High gasoline bills got you down ? No problem, just open up ANWR to drilling.

Well, the guy many Republicans were relying on to lead them to glorious victory won't be riding a white stallion next year after all. Christie decided it wasn't his time, whatever that means.

The latest campaign headlines involve Governor Chris Christie, who is apparently reconsidering a run for the White House next year. The Wall Street Journal explains why so many Republicans want this dude to jump in. I've seen Christie on TV and if he does jump into the pool of candidates, he'll make a big splash. That's a play on words, since President Christie would bring physical proportions to

There was a GOP straw poll in Florida this weekend, and Jimmy Dick was expected to win since he's hot, hot, hot and his campaign had devoted its resources to the effort. Instead, Herman the pizza guy won. Herman has some peculiar ideas, one of which is that somehow he's qualified to be president. Anyway, some people are saying the straw poll results are a sign that El Perrito is fading as a

From all indications, the tea party people are packing the audience at Republican debates with nose-picking, semi-literate assholes who erupt with applause any time El Perrito is asked to explain something stupid he said. On television, this creates the illusion that a worthless fuck with an expensive haircut is wildly popular -- or at least that seems to be the goal. Somehow I've lived in Texas

I thought I would watch several college football games during the Labor Day weekend, but as it turned out, the Oregon vs LSU game was too one-sided to be worth watching, and I couldn't get interested in the rest of the Saturday warm-up exercises.

Between ungodly heat, drought, budget wars, and El Perrito leading the GOP race, there hasn't been a lot to smile about recently. But... finally a little bit of good news. Talking Points Memo reports that the tea party movement is fading in popularity. Maybe there's still hope for America.

This week, El Perrito implied that Ben Bernanke was a traitor and possibly guilty of treason. This created a bit of a stir among the few intelligent people keeping up with the 2012 election campaign. Frankly, I'm glad Perrito said it and has so far refused to recant. Perry seems bound and determined to play the part of a shit-kicking good ole Texas boy, just as his predecessor did. The more

For weeks, El Perrito has been behaving like a diva, teasing the media with coy hints and suggestions about his candidacy in 2012. Those jackoffs eat it up with spoons. My feeling all along has been that Perrito was already running, but would withhold any formal announcement until two conditions were met: first, that he was positive he would win the GOP nomination, and second, that he was highly

Although conservatives had probably been daydreaming about it much earlier, Karl Rove is the guy who gets credit for putting the goal of a Permanent Republican Majority in the media spotlight. The more I watch the Democrats and Republicans sparring over an increase in the debt ceiling, the more it looks to me as if the GOP has decided their best chance to destroy the Obama presidency and get PRM

There's a story circulating in the news today regarding Rep. Michele Bachmann and her periodic migraine headaches, which she claims won't affect her performance when she becomes the commander in chief. That's good to know. Still, I have a question about those headaches. Are they caused by something trying to get out, or something trying to get in ?

One of my all-time favorite movies is DR STRANGELOVE (OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB). And one of my favorite scenes in the movie is the one in which Gen. Buck Turgidson (played by George C. Scott) tells the POTUS (Peter Sellers) something like this: "I don't want to judge before all the facts are in, Mister President, but it's beginning to look like General Ripper exceeded

I read an article in the Houston Chronicle that sums up the sorry state of politics, government and the news media in this country. It's all about the Rickster's haircut and rugged good looks, and the advantages his personal appearance furnish him in his race to the presidency. When this kind of shit makes it into a newspaper, it's just discouraging. And sad. What makes it even worse is that

According to USA Today, Bristol Palin has written her autobiography and it's now on sale at WalMarts everywhere. Bristol is twenty years old, a little young to be cranking out memoirs if you ask me, but nobody asked me.

I was at Walmart yesterday, scanning old analog snapshots, and discovered the 2011 edition of Texas Football magazine was for sale. That's a sure sign football season is just around the corner, with new conference alignments being tested for the first time.

Nate Silver submits for our consideration the possibility that if (or when) the Newter drops out of the race for the GOP nomination, his spot will be taken by Ricardo Perry. Excuse me while I look for a place to puke.

Rick Santorum has added his name to the growing list of assholes seeking the GOP presidential nomination. He's apparently a male version of Bachmann. I'm waiting for some Republican that I could tolerate for four years to emerge from the conservative swamp. Right now, Mittens comes closest, and I have a feeling it won't be long until he turns my stomach, too. Maybe Pawlenty ? Or maybe Jon

I found an interesting article by Paul Burka which causes me to think that Rick Perry, his campaign donors who make up the Board of Regents, and the so-called Texas Public Policy Foundation will eventually turn back the clock and restore TAMU to its former status as the best little cow college in the state.

As a U.S. Senator, John Cornyn is about as close to a piece of furniture as they come. It's sad, but this guy can probably hold his Senate seat until he's too old to get out of bed, since all he needs are the votes of Texas Republicans.

In the world conservatives live in, education = intelligence = elitism = bad. As a rule, the more recognition someone receives for scholarly achievement, the more despised he (or she) will be among right-wingers. Prime example being Paul Krugman, who has the unmitigated fucking gall to suggest that tax increases in addition to spending reductions would be a sensible approach to budget balancing.

Here's what life is like in my world: If I find a shady place to park in the summer, when I return to my car it'll be covered with bird shit. If I wash my car to remove the bird shit, it will rain. The cleaner I get my car, the sooner the rain will begin. This week I went to a memorial service at our church, and the turnout was so large I had to park on a dirt lot under some shade trees. Sure

There's a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that bears watching, involving a campaign finance law in Arizona. The people challenging the law claim it violates their right to free speech, and they'll probably win a 5-4 decision since the five conservative justices seem to believe that government should be for sale to the highest bidder.

From an AP article by Paul Wiseman in USA Today, 04/05/2011: "Panicked by the 2008 financial crisis and deepening recession, U.S. employers cut jobs pitilessly. They slashed an average of 780,000 jobs a month in the January-March quarter of 2009.

I don't know what's in the air or the water in Wisconsin, but that state certainly produces a toxic strain of Republican politicians. Rep.

During the 1990s, I learned who Richard Mellon Scaife was. In 2011, I'm learning who the Koch brothers are. If you want to wield real power in this country, it helps to have several billion dollars in ready cash. As things stand, the Koch boys and I have very different views about who the dangerous people in America are.

At one time, Elizabeth Taylor was considered the most beautiful woman in the world, and when I saw her in a movie called Raintree Country, I recall agreeing with the description.

I've started carrying a Sony Walkman when I'm out doing my three miles, and I have it loaded with MP3 music files from Amazon.

There was a rally held in Austin a few days ago. About five thousand people showed up at the capitol to protest budget cuts that they believe will have a negative effect on public education. Rick Perry saw the crowd, did the mental math, and realized 99.9 percent of the protesters would never vote for him anyway. Perry understands that at least 51 percent of the voters think he's doing a great

I had never heard of R.L. Burnside until this track appeared on a soundtrack CD from the HBO series The Sopranos. I borrowed the CD from R. and burned a copy for myself. This may be the funkiest blues song ever, and is perfect background music for the times we live in, at least my share of them.

About half the eligible voters can't be bothered to go out on election days, but the ones who show up tend to keep things fucked up.

From much of the commentary I've read, it seems like there are a lot of people who envy public employees. I was a state employee for 28 years, and I never thought my job was enviable. Anyone who believes state employees have a soft life has never worked for the state of Texas. Every month, I paid roughly equal percentages of my salary into both the state employee retirement system (ERS) and

I read a good article in the paper about the growth of ethnic minorities among the population of Texas, and the implication of the changes for congressional redistricting.

Finally some good news ? According to this article, ratings indicate that audience interest in hardcore right-wing talk shows may be declining. Of all the things I can live without, AM talk radio is near the top of the list. Before retirement, I spent a lot of time in my car, commuting between home and office, between offices, and to out-of-town training and meetings. I usually passed the time

I predict the Texas legislature will slash funding in every program that is remotely unpopular, those that primarily benefit non-voting poor folks in particular, and make intermediate-level cuts in big ticket items like public education. They'll piss away a lot of time on social issues like abortion and voter ID to keep everyone distracted while they quietly jack up fees and surcharges. If they

Most of the news these days is too damned depressing to cope with, and an item like this one makes me want to laugh, then it makes me want to yell my favorite 12-letter cussword (the one that starts with an M). Seventy-six people have filed the necessary paperwork with the FEC to run for president next year, and not a single one has any chance of ever setting foot in the White House, other than

Not that he'll ever serve a minute of it, but the notorious waste of oxygen Tom Delay was sentenced to do a little prison time. As I watch the Republicans who now control every inch of state government deal with the budget shortfall by pushing Texas closer to Third World status, I'll try to remember that for one day at least, one of them got what was coming to him.

An article in the Washington Post by Dan Eggen describes freshmen GOP congressmen who are already making the rounds in Washington DC, raking in lobbyist money as fast as they can. I'm willing to bet that the gullible Tea-dium Party fools are in for a huge surprise if they really believed the dickwads they elected are going to be anything other than typical American politicians, for sale to the

Kathleen Parker continues to be one of the few conservative newspaper columnists I can stand to read, and I hope she's correct in her assessment that a new movement for people who are politically moderate could win popular support. As one who is fed up with Democrats and can't stomach Republicans, you can put me on the list of interested potential customers.

Although I'm told there is no basis for it in statistical reality, I still believe in the law of averages -- especially when it comes to football. The law of averages, as I use the term, refers to the likelihood that everything tends to even out over the long haul. For instance, if you flip a coin enough times, you'll eventually end up with roughly the same number of heads as tails. Footballs,

Not all conservatives are convinced yet that Sarah Palin is the long-term answer. I have a hard time imagining President Sarah Palin, but I had a hard time imagining President George W. Bush, and an even harder time imagining President Barack Hussein Obama. American voters are always faking me out, often in a sickening way, and I should probably stop trying to predict their behavior. At any rate,

Yesterday was the return to Central Standard Time, and I was roughly halfway through a three-mile walk when it got dark. It was daylight when I left the house, and for some reason it never entered my mind that it could get dark in the next thirty minutes or so. At any rate, I was walking briskly and nearing home when I stumbled over some irregularity in the sidewalk's surface and took a spill.

An interesting day that began with an impromptu appointment with the dentist to check the fit and appearance of my new dentures, utilizing wax-based mockups. Two things were rapidly apparent. First, after many years of having far fewer teeth than is customary, it's weird to look into a mirror and see my mouth full of what appear to be normal, healthy teeth. That will take some getting used to.

All factors considered, it is substantially easier to help your adult child move into her new house than it is to buy and move into a new house of your own. This is especially true when there are plenty of capable hands available to share in the division of labor.

Tonight we were watching "Seinfeld" reruns, and when they were over, reruns of another sitcom from roughly the same time period came on. The show is called "The King of Queens" and although I'd heard of it, I've never seen a single episode. About five minutes into the first of two episodes, I realized that I had missed out on a really funny show. The main character is one of those guys whose good

There are mornings when I wake up and feel relieved as I realize the world I was just dreaming about is not reality. Some of my dreams are so vivid I can remember segments of them long enough to write about them. When I saw the trailers for the new Leonardo DiCaprio dream movie Inception, I decided to watch it on a big screen, since dreams both mystify and fascinate me. The movie is based upon a

Just what America needs: another House caucus. It isn't very surprising that wastes of oxygen like Pete Sessions and Louie Gohmert would be trying to jump aboard what they perceive to be the Tea Party bandwagon. The surprises are going to come after the next round of elections this fall, when the tea people vote for career politicians thinking this will get their half-assed agenda enacted into

In the aftermath of the implosion earlier this week, I've been reading the comments from readers on the various state newspaper websites regarding the survival of the Big Whatever. One conclusion I've drawn is that many college football fans in Texas are disgustingly provincial. For them, if something didn't involve a former Southwest Conference team, it never happened.

I went to bed late last night and revisited familiar territory in my dreams: I work in some abstract government position, and for some reason, people refer to me as "Ray." I'm responsible for making a presentation to a large group of people, maybe a college seminar, on the subject of UAR, which I think stands for United Arab Republic but may not. In any case, I know nothing at all about UAR, and

This picture was apparently taken at a Tea Party rally in Austin. The guys on the right and left, huddled under their parasols, fit my Teaperson stereotype. The chick in the center, wearing Old Glory and sandals, is a new twist. I know the TPers like to wrap themselves in the flag in a figurative sense, and maybe that ditz missed the memo about trying not to behave like an asshole. I'd be curious

In the early 1970s, I had just started to appreciate country music, largely because of Bob Dylan's album Nashville Skyline, and the excellent LP Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds. A buddy of mine bought an LP called The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy by some dude named David Allan Coe. This song was on it, and served as my introduction to Guy Clark, who wrote it. The best country songs paint

This Associated Press report deserves a lot more media attention. I recall the ridicule heaped on John Kerry in 2004 over his tendency to be for something before he was against it, so there's no way the whole Republican Party should get a free ride on the flip-flop described in the AP story. In politics, what goes around always comes around, or at least it should.

Uh oh... things aren't working out for Republicans this week. The new Gallup poll indicates public resentment toward health care reform may be fading, with more people warming to the notion. Republicans don't worry about Obama failing as much as they worry about him succeeding. The last damned thing the GOP wants or needs is a majority of voters feeling good about health care and unworried about

If every conservative was like David Frum, who wrote this analysis, America would be a better place and life would be simpler. Like David Brooks, Frum is a conservative who walks among the sane people, and there aren't many of them remaining. If there were more Republicans like Frum, I doubt that I would join their party, but a lot less of my time would be wasted on unmitigated hatred. The

I decided not to waste time voting in the Republican primary on Tuesday. It turned out to be a wise decision, but because I skipped the election I wasn't aware of five ballot propositions that Republicans were voting on until this morning. It's ignorant shit like this that keeps me from giving serious consideration to joining the majority party in Texas and being on the winning side for a change.

This afternoon I finally got around to skimming through the voting guides prepared by the League of Women Voters for the primary elections on Tuesday. I hate to admit this, but I didn't see anything in nearly thirty minutes of perusing candidate profiles that really inspired me to vote in either primary. The Democrats are a total lost cause, and the only ones I'd waste a vote on are generally
