If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

One of those reelections was 2010, IIRC, and this was late 2009.

There's more stuff that surfaced around the time of that election here:

Amazing that he got reelected, yes.

Nope.

I'll go one further and say it seems a prerequisite to be the Governor of Texas is unusually high levels of blood lust, and a willingness to send people to the chair for suspect reasons (let us not forget Bush Jr, who refused to grant clemency to a grandmother, who killed her husband in self-defence after decades of of physical abuse from him.  Or several other "killers" whose threat to society was severely lacking, or their conviction was a sham.  In fact, the only person Bush Jr ever granted clemency to was an unrepentant serial killer).

i like pointing out the findings of the Innocence Project of Texas whenever the topic comes up.
some of the instances seem to really make an impact on people.

Perry's not very subtle threat to Bernanke is going too far even for Karl Rove, who said it was "not Presidential".

In fact, that more than anything makes me wonder if Perry can win the race.  You don't threaten the Fed and become politically powerful - quite the opposite, in fact.

If the Fed wasn't planning to pump billions into the economy in 2012, well, they certainly are now, if only to, as I'm sure they're whispering to each other "keep that nutter Perry as far as possible from the levers of power".

Elder Iptuous

Ron Paul was quoted as saying that Perry's remarks made even him look like a moderate!
:lol:

This was a fantastic article in part because she had limited space and had to be incredibly concise.
