Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Feel The Perry-neum!

Didja hear?  Didja hear?  ZOMG!  

So, my tout for the GOP 2012 nomination appears to be getting into the race.

Rick Perry is - by most accounts - a perfect GOP candidate.  He is impossibly rugged looking but with immaculate hair.  Seriously, that hair is something else.  He is a gun nut who goes jogging with a pistol, because...

He talked idly about secession.  He has a state so mired in red ink from cutting taxes that its schools are so far at the bottom of the barrel they are looking for a new barrel.  Oh, and he's a Christianist - though maybe less nutty than Bachmann.

If Perry succeeds in becoming the anti-Romney, and the rumored skeletons in his closet don't come out before the convention, then I think he's the nominee.  And I think - barring the unforeseen - he loses.
