IS RICK PERRY A DOPE? I think not.

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S approval of the American public slips.

Americans are incapable of providing for their own medical care, insist on buying cars that are safe and comfortable instead of cars that get the highest gasoline mileage, smoke too much, harbor too many of the wrong attitudes, fail to volunteer at sufficient rates, are too greedy, do not separate their recyclables enough, and continue to cling to guns and religion despite being lectured to by their betters about the importance of doing otherwise.

I'm sure his approval rating will dip even lower when we boot him out in 2012.

A COMMENTER named La Raza submitted an off-topic comment about La Reconquista: "We have already RECONQUERED the entire Southwest — California, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. We will soon have control of Nevada, Colorado, Florida, and Utah. After that, we will proceed to invade, conquer, and colonize the entire country. We are repopulating the country. We will eventually drive all you gringos out of the country, to Canada, back to Europe, whatever, just get the hell out of this country because we’re taking over, and we don’t want you racist gringos here. We will drive you crackers out of here as sure as I’m standing here."

To which a Californian responded: "Well, we won't be short of maids and gardeners."

WISDOM: Keep the Faith.

A NEW WHITE HOUSE economic forecast predicts that U.S. unemployment will be near 9% when voters go to the pollS in 2012. The report, released by the Office of Management and Budget, is far more optimistic about the U.S. economy than either the Congressional Budget Office or private sector estimates.

What? Weren't we told that unemployment would never reach 8%?

RED STATE: “Barack Obama might want to run against Congress, but it is not John Boehner’s branch of government fining eleven year olds and hauling men off to jail for saving their children’s lives.”

WE'RE THE NEW YORK TIMES; we don't need no stinkin' facts.

WHY NOT? Domino's pizza has announced plans to conquer the final frontier by opening the first pizza restaurant on the Moon.


I want to know how the take-out window will work....
