I'm sure they meant the name in a really positive way.

Right?

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

"After Shooting Himself in the Foot, Rick Perry Reloads at His West Texas Hunting Ranch"

Just the title alone had me laughing.

Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?

Yeah, me neither....

You had me at "After Shooting Himself in the Foot, Rick Perry Reloads"

I think that describes the man to a tee.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Not a Perry fan anyhow, but I was almost afraid to look at this story. Another classic demise.

No surprise to me. After all, it IS Texas, which gave us Bush and Perry, who both "ran" the state before running for Prez.

Ya know, It's not even a particularly clever insult, so double stupid.

"It's just a name," said Haskell County Judge David Davis, sitting in his courtroom and looking at a window. "Like those are vertical blinds. It's just what it was called. There was no significance other than as a hunting deal."

So y'all hunt black folk in Texas? Wha? He confuseled me.

Obama for the win - can we just swear him in now so we can skip the commercials?

Perry is turning more and more into a bad joke. I guess they can keep reaching for a "viable" candidate; they certainly don't have one NOW, in my opinion. Isn't the deadline coming up for Palin (hahahah) and Christie to shit or get off the pot? Won't it be nice when that passes, and we can get on with...oh, yeah, the endless commercials, you're right... Oh, well...

Actually, although I know you're half joking, and much as it shames me and my state to say it... YES. Yes, there are people here who actually DO "hunt" black people. Sometimes when they catch one, they chain him to the back of a pickup truck and drag him down the country roads until he comes apart, littering the roadsides with bits of people.

Seems we still have to go through the motions.

I know people have "youthful indiscretions", but Rick Perry was in on this deal when he was an adult, and more than a few witnesses recall seeing the sign there well into the 90s, so it's not like he was just some kid who didn't know better, or that's just how folk were back in those quaint days of the 80s and 90s. I was raised in Texas, too, and *I* knew the toxicity of that word well before the 1980s, and I'm not Rick Perry's age.

To me, such a sign and such a name would be a deal-killer on any kind of hunting venture if I were an aspiring politician. Hell, it would be a deal-killer for me, and I'm *NOT* an aspiring politician!

Kinda funny that while Rappy is busy running around the boards calling everyone a racist who disagrees with Herman Cain's policies, he hasn't had a goddam word to say about this issue.

Wonder why that is...
