“AUSTIN (The Borowitz Report) – Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination today, unveiling his official campaign slogan, ‘What Harm Could a Governor from Texas Do?,’” according to the tongue-in-cheek Borowitz Report.
“In throwing his hat into the ring, Gov. Perry explained his earlier reluctance to run: ‘I promised the people of Texas I would destroy the state by 2012, and now it looks like we’re on track to do that.’
“Gov. Perry said that he hoped to bring down the cost of the federal government the same way he reined in costs in Texas, ‘by making the state no longer habitable for human life as we know it.’
“He said that his plan to eliminate the states one by one was picking up steam, with support from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Florida Governor Rick Scott.
“As President, Gov. Perry promised, he would push a three-part agenda: ‘Eliminate education, eliminate healthcare, and pray for Rapture.’”

Looks like CA Assemblyperson Dan Logue done gone and picked a winner! Wonder if they will repost this charming bit of writing to that new fangled Draft Perry 2012 web site?
As our local dinosaur contingent continues to tout the virtues of working in Texas in the Reader’s Digest 1950′s blogosphere, or at Tea Parties populated by geriatric dreamers and angry middle aged male libertarians, it looks like Texas is just few years behind California (speaking culturally, financially and metaphysically).
Bottom line: $27 billion budget deficit and kicking the can down the road to make Rick Perry look like Ronald Reagan.
