I went into Dirty Martin's Kum-Back Place (yes, that's it's name, with no irony) on Guadelupe St. near the U. of Texas in Austin earlier this year.
This is one of our dislustrious Gov's favorite hangouts. Dirty's is THE quintessential burger dive. I ordered a bacon cheese, mayo, mustard, ketchup, no pickles, extra tomatos, with a side of onion rings, and a root beer, which shows I'm not a real Texan, cuz they only use mustard, and drink Dr. Pepper.
At least Texas is safer with greasy haired Gov. in a greasy spoon than out on the street:
Besides Perry is an Aggie, and the drag don't need no aggies!
Rick Perry was sitting in the corner booth. I almost engaged him in a manner that would have brought me into a losing argument with this DPS body guard. Instead, I just gave him a dirty look mixed with dissapointment and disgust. He caught my look and returned the look with disdain. I was going to tell him that I worked for a certain public safety agency, and that having the Gov's mansion burn down on your watch doesn't really engender confidence in his leadership.
When georgie porgie beat Ann, lil' Ricky beat Jim Hightower as Ag Commissioner.
I excpected GWankerB to beat one of the best Gov's Texas ever had, but when Hightower lost to Little Boy Blue, I knew Texas had just totally f*cked its big ol' self. I was right. I saw Hightower in the capitol once many years ago, and I just knew that that guy was stand-up, a real Texan, what one should be, and not all hat and no saddle like Ann described GwB. Perry is just creepy. Perry at least has a saddle, but it is on the Devil's Horse
I have seen him a few times, and he is exactly what you might think, a slick huckster that would stoop to use God and everyone esle to gain power and prestige. after all he learned from one of the best:
This man does not respect people. Like the Bushes, he serves to enrich himself and his friends, not to lift up the citizenry.
Now that the even the Bush army is embarrased by him, they are mounting a counter offensive against Perry,
Back in better days
and he came down with the dreaded Texas cattle killer hoof-in-mouth disease,
The Texas governor was responding to a question from a little boy in New Hampshire, who was prompted by his mother to ask the Republican candidate about the age of the Earth and evolution.
“I hear your mom was asking about evolution,” Perry said today. “That’s a theory that is out there — and it’s got some gaps in it.”
Perry then told the boy: “In Texas, we teach both creationism and evolution [the former is actually not part of the Texas curriculum]. I figure you’re smart enough to figure out which one is right.”
Guess who is getting schooled:
(I feel dis-ease every time I see him), he gettin' some of it back at him.
Another reason not to trust Rick Perry is because he is using religion to advance his political carrer. Is that something that Jesus would endorse?
But he is consistent with Republican methodology:
Meaning, of course that he operates without a hint of scandal:
How could anyone think that the US of A would elect another Governor from Texas anytime in the next 100 years?
Burnt once kind of deal, ain't it? Well I guess we have proven ourselves to be idiots on many occasions, haven't we?
My hope is that that person will come forward that can win the presidency that we can all get behind.
- Rick Perry
I could get behind someone with the values that maybe a guy like John Wooden had:
Get a hint, that ain't you, mofo
After all, if you didn't want your state to be part of the US of A, why would you want to be it's President?
After therse last two Texas Governors, I am beginning to think that maybe Texas isn't God's country, that maybe Ed Miller was right, that the Devil made Texas:
I haven't been back to Dirty Martin's since then. It gives me the creeps.
