It’s nice to see political mockery is alive and well in Texas.

It’s no secret that I dislike my governor. Rick Perry has been a horrible governor for Texas and just keeps getting worse. There were a couple of corruption stories about him, but they have faded into obscurity.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ve all seen him recently. He’s the douche bag who stood up at a San Antonio rally of proud Tea-Baggers and said Texas can and should secede from the Union. That asshat. Despite Texas Mythology converning our weird state laws and what our constitution does or doesn’t allow, the reality is that there is no provision allowing Texas to secede. The closest provision we’ve got is that Texas has the option of dividing into 5 seperate states. Which is an amusing thought, but will never happen.

Why is he doing this? Because he faces an impossible primary against U.S. Senator Hutchison, a moderate – for Texas – Republican who’s respected by the majority of the state. So Gov. Goodhair is running to the right. The FAAAAAR right. Into the waiting arms of the Republic of Texas crazies. Because in the Republican Primary, it’s usally the far right that participates – they aren’t crazy about Hutchison.

The image at the top of this post is a t-shirt that the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee has created to mock our endangered governor. Good job guys. Remind me to donate some cash.

Let’s Tea-Bag, Baby!

He voted for Bush's massive expansion of the government twice.

Urban Dictionary defines Tea-Bagging as:

To dunk ones scrotum into the open mouth of another person
Usage: “Man, Brenda was all passed out with her mouth open and Billy tea-bagged her”
Tea-Bagging is also what the fake grass roots movement of the Far Right is calling their protest this tax day over President Obama’s administration. The protests scheduled around the country have been hyped by Fox News – which claims they aren’t promoting them – and they are expecting a massive turnout. The first pictures from these events are making their way onto the internet, and now we can all laugh at people wearing stupid hats like this douche while we’re stuck at work. I’m not going to cherry pick a bunch of photos for you all to look at, I’m too lazy. I’m sure you can find your own photos that’ll make you laugh your ass off.
The Tea-Baggers seem to have forgotten that they were Bush’s hardcore base who never stopped supporting him as he weakened an already crippled financial regulatory system and oversaw the largest government spending increase since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

I don't think she means "George W. Bush."

The Tea-Baggers also don’t seem to realize that the adjustments to the tax code will LOWER taxes for the majority of the country while only raising them for a fraction of the population. And that 1% who will have their taxes raise will still be paying less than they have since the Regan administration. Another thing to remember: These nuts are protesting Bush’s taxes. The adjustments that President Obama has proposed won’t go into effect until next year.
