The S.O. dragged me to her doctor yesterday. It confirmed for me why I need to change doctors. First they found that this a bacterial infection of my sinuses. Thus my head feels like it is going to explode when I cough-which is a lot. (Much to the chagrin of my co-workers). So after a battery of X-rays, blood tests and an thorough examination. I am now taking anti-biotics and sleeping a lot.
Problem is-it appears the S.O. is coming down with the same thing. Two of us sick at the same time is not a bright prospect to think about. Neither one of us is in shape to take care of the other.
This weekend ought to be fun.
So I will steer you to the rather scathing indictment of Rick Perry, my Canadian Counterpart penned a couple of days ago. Its great-analyzing in detail why Perry and his retarded followers are the really deluded people they are:
Modern Republicans aren’t conservatives: They’re liberals with even more inhuman priorities. They differ from Obama only in how they want to funnel the public lucre to Wall Street kleptocrats. The current president wants to directly subsidize the criminal cocksuckers, whereas idiots like Sarah Palin want to do it through the fucking tax code. Today’s welfare queens are wearing $3,000 Brooks Brothers suits. Or they’re farmers. But they’re all welfare queens, and the GOP wants to be their sugar daddy.
Which brings me to Rick Perry. Governor Perry might be the perfect Republican, full to the brim of what people imagine Ronald Reagan was, while remaining woefully ignorant of his actual record as both governor and president. Perry, like the overwhelming majority of modern Republicans, isn’t just at war with science, he doesn’t cotton well with math and history, either.
Rick is a Texan, who like most of his kind pretends to be more American than anyone else, all the while nurturing a healthy secession fetish that most reasonable people would consider treasonous. Your average balanced adult would recognize this as schitzophrenic, but, luckily for Perry, psychitary is a science, and science is something that Republican primary voters see as demonic and something that should be stuff in a well, if only they could find a well big enough.
The Governor has openly mused about seccession at least four times in the last two years, which has to be a post-Jefferson Davis record. I’ve read more than my share – and yours – about the life and career of George Wallace, and I can tell you that he never considered secession an option, even as he battled to preserve the evil of Jim Crow in Alabama. More importantly, despite running four times, Governor Wallace was never considered a frontrunner for his party’s presidential nomination.
He also has our tri-corner hat wearing “friends” described pretty well too-and in the process exposes the truth about what a thug Rick Perry really is:
What Republicans and Tea Partiers are too awesomely stupid or desperately dishonest to tell you is that the Ryan Plan basically does the same thing to Medicare, except that it limits coverage instead of expanding it. If anything, the Ryan plan is more inflationary to coverage costs than even ObamaCare is because the lack of an individual mandate doesn’t broaden the coverage pool and minimize the risk to insurers. Facts are annoying things, which is why simpletons like Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are so popular with the GOP’s fuckhead base. They simply make up their own facts and intellectual misfits celebrate them for it.
My reasons for hating Rick Perry are many for they are legion. Firstly, his public talk of secession makes him little more than a fiucking traitor who, in more honest times, would have been hanged. Second, I believe that he murdered an innocent man – Cameron Todd Willingham – and spent years covering it up, undermining my faith in the death penalty in the process. Third, he’s a creation of Karl Rove, and Rove has never elected a candidate that didn’t go on to destroy everything he touched. Fourth, Governor Perry actually personifies the Republican elevation of stupidity into a goddamned virtue. Palin and Bachmann are, if nothing else, highly fuckable, which can’t be said of Perry.
Not that it matters much. Rick Perry isn’t going to be the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney is. It’s Romney’s turn, and that’s just how the GOP has operated since the days of Eisenhower. If Romney doesn’t get the nod, he’d be the first runner-up from a previous cycle to not get the nomination since Bob Taft in 1952. The fact that Romney is a soulless whore of the Giuliani mold and destined to have his ass handed to him by Barack Obama is incidental.
In a lot of ways, that’s too bad. The Republican Party needs to flush this nonsense out of their systems with a Goldwater scale electoral blowout every so often. It brings them back to reality.
That’s not to say that Barry Goldwater would be a Tea Partier today. He was the furthest thing from it. He was for a small government across the board, including on moronic social issues that he mostly stayed the fuck away from because he understood that homosexuals are not the business of the federal government. He hated the Chritianist busybody motherfuckers that embody the Tea Party with a fury that no subsequent Republican imagines even existing today.
And that is why I will continue to mock our Galtian Overlords at every opportunity. Now if you will excuse me-I have to go barf up a lung.
