I don't have a church, Dave.



I'm a secular humorist.

O MY GOD. I just realised fonpr is Fredricks!  My mind has been blown!   :o         Hi Fredricks!  I'm your biggest fan!! 

In replie to that Rick Perry video, if he becomes president, I'm calling it quits and moving to Brazil. I watched a segment about there BOOMING economy on 60 minutes recently.  It seems like such a nice place.

Typically good Matt Taibbi scare piece on Rick Perry. "Perry is a human price tag – Being There meets Left Behind. And sometimes there's nothing more dangerous than nothing at all."

I don't see Perry making it out of the primaries.

It's Romney or bust, IMO.

I think they keep on with this debate charade until the summer, when they whip out the REAL candidate. Maybe at the convention. It'd be a good reality TV twist and we could watch Romney's face fall as they give the nomination to somebody else at the convention.

This will sell more of his books, which is why he's running in the first place.  Every time I talk about Cain I get a pizza jones.
