With all that is going on in the political scene these days with these moronic Republicans that I have been hearing and reading about in the NEWS, you can't satirize this!
No, it's impossible to satirize the latest NEWS reports. Not even THE ONION can satirize what's going on in the NEWS anymore because it has all become so ridiculous in real life now! You just can't make this up!
THIS IS REAL!!!
OK, here is a link to the latest article on Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Yeah! As I have said earlier, you just can't make this up! Not even THE ONION can satirize this!!!
Gov. Perryâ??s History Lesson FAIL
By Dan
Sounds like Texas Gov. Rick Perry might be taking history lessons from the State Board of Education â?? you know, the panel that adopted heavily politicized and distorted social studies curriculum standards two years ago.
During a post-debate gathering at a Dartmouth frat party (seriously) last night, someone asked Gov. Perry about statesâ?? rights. His response:
â??Our Founding Fathers never meant for Washington, D.C. to be the fount of all wisdom. As a matter of fact they were very much afraid of that because theyâ??d just had this experience with this far-away government that had centralized thought process and planning and what have you, and then it was actually the reason that we fought the revolution in the 16th century was to get away from that kind of onerous crown if you will.â?
Good grief. The governor who so claims to revere the nationâ??s founders and the Constitution was off by two centuries â?? the American Revolution happened in the 18th century. (And never mind the governorâ??s dizzy comment about â??centralized thought process.â? He seems to have confused the Declaration of Independence with 1984 â?? yet another two centuries away.)
Gov. Perryâ??s history failure has sparked a Twitter storm of other suggested â??factsâ? he might want to study â?? #PerryHistory. One of our favorites:
OK, I must confess.
When I was in grade school, history was not exactly my most favorite subject. Perhaps it was the way the teachers presented it that made it kind of boring. I was more interested in science, especially Astronomy.
But then, after reading a little bit of history in some Astronomy books, some history about Copernicus and Galileo, and about Galileo's conflict with Catholic Church doctrine concerning the cosmos, and about The Holy Office and The Inquisition, then I became more interested in history, especially the history of The Dark Ages, and The Renaissance.
I also became more interested in American history, especially after reading about the Puritans, The Salem Witch Trials, the Civil War in later years and about slavery.
So, even in grade school, although history was not my most favorite subject, I knew that America won it's independence from Briton back in 1776, the 18th century and NOT the 16th century. No, the 16th century would be the 1500s and not the 1700s. So, Rick Perry was way off by about 200 years!
Here is another little treat, or rather, a tweet from Twitter!

Well, I really don't know if Rick Perry actually said this. I mean, like, seriously! Even Rick Perry can't possibly be such a moron!
(Or can he!!!)
NO! Please tell me it isn't so! PLEASE!!!
I've had it! I'm so disgusted! America is out to fucking lunch!
I know far more about science, and history, than all these rich sons-of-bitches in politics, and I'm living in poverty while all these drooling morons in our Republican party are raking in big bucks hand-over-fist!
FUCK THIS SHIT!!!
I'm outta here!
I'm fat and sassy! I love to sing & dance & stomp my feet & really rock your world!
