OMG, they even make babies be in a corp and march??

The key question for today is "will we be hearing from Ace today"?

Where is he? I missed that yesterday. Unless he didn't say and I didn't miss it.

He went down to Charleston to the Red State get-together where Perry will make his official announcement.

Vote For Biff! 

I just saw the most horrifying program on PBS.

New Scandinavian Cooking with Tina Nordstrom.

I'm still shaken.

Then end is nigh.

I think a side-by-side photo comparison is in order.

Rick Perry in his cadet uniform vs. Barry The Grifter splayed out on a couch with a lit cigarette in his hand.

Old Sailor said hope there is no Jonestown activities here when some of you discover that Rick Perry is Mitt Romney with a drawl.

Could you please elaborate?

As long as Rick Perry did not go to Harvard with Barky and hang with domestic terrorists likey Ayles he is fine with me. Mighty fine, as a matter of fact.

Another interesting fact about Perry's college years, from Wikipedia, in addition to him being an Air Force pilot (which totally rocks compared to Barry's....what did Barry do, anyway?), he knew how to rig up firecrackers in toilets to "surprise" other students. For that alone he would get my vote.

Graduates of the military colleges (West Point, Annapolis, AFA, VMI and The Citadel, Texas A&M) don't see themselves in the same light as graduates of what they call "civilian colleges."  They have undergone an experience, discipline, that is the opposite of the what has come down to the modern ethos of the college experience, partying. Except maybe shoe shine parties, sweat parties and blanket parties. 

All of these schools have traditions that would seem wierd to the outsider.

All of the Aggies I've ever worked with have been head and shoulders above the Ivy types. Their devotion to duty and integrity always comes through.

Perry is the dream candidate the Obama camp is pulling for. Bush Light.

Hey Jordan, the Obama camp better worry about being able to run Obama in 2012. 

You know what you call a Aggie engineer 5 years after he graduates? Boss

Morning all.

So in more than 500 people at this get together in Charleston, is there another Moe Ron (save the biggest of them all) besides me amongst them?

I could use some crass humor, and inappropriate jokes.  These folks are by and large nice, friendly, and down to earth, but I'm a degenerate for crying out loud.

Anyway, if I should get a word with Rick Perry, any good ideas on a one liner?

Some people are reporting that Governor Perry kills babies.

We can't verify those reports, however we would like to know just how many babies did Governor Perry kill.

People are being facetious.  Ultimately he's a two-time governor and has a reputation for being aggressive vs. the Dems, something which we've been sorely lacking for the past twenty years.

The only surprise here is that you somehow think this stuff warrants serious concern and a defensive posture.

It's been reported in other sources that Governor Perry has killed primarily minority babies. With Governor Perry's record as a killer is anyone surprised that these reports are now surfacing.

Later this evening MSNBC will have a special report on Rick Perry Killer!

Al Sharpton and Chris Matthews will report from Washington.

No, he does not support amnesty.  Provide some evidence for your claim or STFU. 

Thanks Dave. Living here in College Station, TX, is not living in Austin ( Thank God!), but we do ok for a backwater school. We don't like t-sips, but we all stood together when stack fell about 10 years ago. We're Americans first, then Texans and then Aggies. Can't wait to have 100,000 LSU fans here. Whoop!

The goal is beat BHO and of the announced candidates, Perry looks darn good. We must elect an actual Governor this time, not some Congress person or present-voting-Senator.

His goal is same as mine - get gov'ment the hell outa the way!

A more important issue is to explain his open borders stance and why he condemned Arizona for taking a tough stance on illegals.

Perry is just another RINO.

Worked for a Colonel who was an Aggie.  Great guy and excellent leader.  Someone always had an Aggie joke to start the weekly staff meeting.  After about a year, the Colonel stated very solemnly; "Someone is going to die today".  There was a long silence and someone finally spoke up and asked; "Who"?

The Colonel repied; "The next SOB that tells an Aggie joke"!

No dagny,

It means Jordan's candidate (John McCain) lost the primary.

Link please, troll.  

Boy, they got nuthin'.  Same recycled and already de-bunked crap. 

From the interview posted yesterday:

You mentioned border security, earlier. You’re the governor of a border state and have been for some time. As you write in the book, Ronald Reagan signed a bill in 1986 trying to reform immigration that didn’t work out—the borders security provisions weren’t enforced—then President George W. Bush tried again and could get it through Congress because “people had been to that rodeo before.” Is there a possible path to pursued in two parts: first, a measure that establishes stricter border security and then, and only then, a later measure that provides a pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants who are here illegally? A one-two punch.

We have a pathway to citizenship in this country today: itÂ’s get in the line and do what it takes to get here legally. You cannot have a comprehensive discussion about immigration reform until you secure the border. IÂ’ve got a 1,200 mile border with Mexico and itÂ’s not secure. We have American citizens being killed, we have drugs coming across, we have illegal immigrations and all types of other human trafficking going on. Our border is not secure because our federal government has been an abject failure at it.

I think everyone can agree on that, but...

HereÂ’s what everyone should agree on: get the border secure, then we can have a conversation about what type immigration policy we want to put in place. If thereÂ’s a revolving door at the border, your immigration policy is not worth the paper itÂ’s written on.

But just to be clear: if border security is accomplished, you can envision some sort of path to citizenship for people who are here illegally.

Sure.

To me it sounds like seal up the border, then we'll talk. Good enough for me

Breaking News:

It is now being reported from multiple sources, including an anonymous source, that Governor Rick Perry, the putative GOP Presidential nominee, actually joined the US Air Force to kill babies. An anonymous source, speaking on background, said that the Governor actually asked military recruiters which branch of the military had the resources to kill the most babies.

Posted by: MSNBC News staff at August 13, 2011 09:21 AM (HbKP5)

Not mentioning of course that Obama has voted to kill more babies!!

'To me it sounds like seal up the border, then we'll talk. Good enough for me."

Amnesty would be a disaster for the country whether the border was sealed or not- it would mean tens of millions of new Democrat voters, since once the 12 million are citizens they would have right to bring in their family members from Mexico. 

Posted by: Oldsailors Poet at August 13, 2011 08:58 AM (ZDUD4)

No he does NOT support amnesty. I know some of "enemies" will reference that "long interview that Drew linked yesterday and this particular statement when taken out of context:

Sure.

An Air Force General is being briefed one morning at a base that he is visiting.  The four briefers, all captains, happen to be graduates of a military school.

After the briefings are over the general turn to the first captain and says: "You're a graduate of the Air Force Academy aren't you?" 

The captain replies, "Yes sir, I am.  May I ask how you could tell?"

The general says, "I could tell by your in-depth knowledge of Air Force systems and doctrine." 

The general turns to the second briefer and says, "And you went to VMI, didn't you?"

The second briefer replies, "Yes sir, I did.  May I ask how you could tell?"

The general answers, "Your firm grasp of military strategy, which is a tell for distinguishing a Keydet."

Then the general turns to the third briefer, "And you are the product of The Citadel, aren't you."

The third briefer responds, "That is correct sir.  May I inquire as to the indications that led to your accurate conclusion?"

The general tell the third briefer, "I have always noticed that impeccable bearing and poise are the mark of a Citadel Man."

Then the general turns to the last briefer and says, "You went to Texas A&M, didn't you?"

The fourth captain beams, puffs out his chest and replies, "Yes sir, I did.  How could you tell?"

"I saw your school ring while you were picking your nose"  

SPRING HILL, Tenn. – Police in Spring Hill arrested a local music teacher Thursday morning after he was caught engaging in a sex act with a doll outside a local elementary school.

Officers were called to Allendale Elementary School on Prescott Way in Spring Hill amid reports of a white male with a duffle bag under a bridge on school property.  The bridge provides access to the school from the main road.

Spring Hill police told Nashville's News 2 the responding officer witnessed the man, identified as 56-year-old Daniel Torroll, performing sex acts on a child-like doll police later discovered he'd cut holes into.

The officer reported the man was naked and in a location where he could be seen by people driving up to the school.

From the long interview with the Daily Beast

But just to be clear: if border security is accomplished, you can envision some sort of path to citizenship for people who are here illegally.

Sure.

Not sure what to make of that statement. If you take the entire Q&A in context he implies that there already is a program in place for citizenship but because the border is wide open it is a meaningless program.

Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don't know, I don't know. That's a good question.

As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?
There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.

Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.

To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

With the rise in prominence of Governor Rick Perry as the likely GOP pick for the Presidential nomination, several animal rights organizations, prominent among them Save the Coyotes, have called on their followers to demonstrate at Governor Perry's rallies.

Spokesperson Travis Goodfellow of Save the Coyotes said "sure killing babies is a serious issue, but in the aggregate the death of another Coyote at the hands of a murderous Governor Perry is a step too far." Goodfellow pointed out that Governor Perry kills Coyotes with a gun, and that babies, thus far had only been killed with a sword.

Until the interview, everything i've heard about his stance on the border and immigration came from the comments here. It sounds like Texas is in a hard spot and a politician has to walk carefully there on those issues. But it still seems clear that Perry wants some fed enforcement of the border to keep the killers to our south. It just so happens that anything that would keep those unwanted out, would also help keep the illegal immigrants out, or slow down how easy they cross. I'd be very happy with the moat and alligator plan, but maybe throw in some skynet drones too. Does Perry support anything like this? I don't know. For those who keep saying that he doesn't even want the fence, link please? If its so very obvious hes to the left of McCain on this, there should be lots of evidence that i'd like to look at.

He also had this line, "We have a pathway to citizenship in this country today: itÂ’s get in the line and do what it takes to get here legally." Even if this was just lipservice, it was a nice change to actually hear a politician say that.

An update on our latest report on the hit and run death of a reporter from our MSNBC affiliate in New York.

It appears that the reporter was struck by a fussilade of bullets fired from a handgun, presumed fully automatic with a bayonet attached. Credible sources report that the gunman-terrorist was driving an Oldsmobile CUTLASS!

Rick Perry must have a lot of people freaked out with the ammo deflecting off his kevlar.

The talking points Kay Bailey Hutchinson and others fired at him: the HPV vaccine, amnesty, highway, blah, blah worked well in that last election for governor of Texas. Even with the Bush machine behind her she could not beat Perry, but his enemies are trotting out the same talking points which don't ruffle a hair on his head.

Re: illegal immigration...this is 2011 not 2008. The economy sucks and many Mexicans have deported themselves back to their casas as the economy is better than ours. I don't see as many illegals here in my section of Florida, anyway. But then, I live with a moat of alligators surrounding me, so whatever.

Rick Perry states he wants to put National Guard at the border and have drones. This is an issue that is important to me for national security. People have said for ten years to seal the border FIRST then deal with the issue later. No, I do not like the DREAM Act. No, I do not like illegals taking jobs from the working poor. No, no, no I do not want another welfare state. NO I do not want illegals to bog down Social Security. What Rick Perry said, in the past, for Texas may not be what he will say for the nation we have now. I hope he will have the illegals, the ones who are not deported as they are in gangs or felons, get in line for citizenship (required to speak English, etc.). The barn door is open and we need to close it (the border) with military force first. The imaginary fence Obama built is not working. Less illegals, less drugs into country= less crime and less fear for the non-Mexican (aka Middle Eastern terrorists) coming over the border, which has gone on for a decade. Seal the damn border.

Perry is strong on state's rights. He is strong on gun rights. He is a Christian who believes what he says. He is a straight shooter, as proven when he shot a coyote while jogging, and he will knock Obama down off his politically correct throne. Perry will be strong on the military as he is a former Air Force pilot.He believes in the Constitution. He believes in smaller government, no increased taxes, oil production, JOBS. He is a conservative. I don't care if he was a Democrat. I don't care what rocks anyone throws, he is going to win.

Huckabee is jealous to whine and snarl about Perry on teevee. The White House and the Republican Party will attack him. Other candidates will attack him. The MSM will spin against any threat to Obama. Perry knows this and he does not care. Bring it on.

If asylum seekers lose out, that's fucking tough.  The American government's only task is serving the interests of AMERICANS.  Alien asylum seekers are waaaaaaay down the list of priorities of our federal government and ALWAYS come behind the interests of the American citizenry.  That you would even bring the poor "asylum seekers" (and most are NOT, anyway ... like Auntie Zetuni) up as a "problem" is insane.

We need immigration law that does the following AND that is enforced:

1. Eliminate the BS anchor baby interpretation by providing a definition of what the term “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means, which is not dashing across the border to deliver a baby.  Personally, I would require that at least one of the parents of any child born in the U.S. be a citizen before that child was eligible for “birthright” citizenship. If not, then the child would have to undergo naturalization.
2. Provide a reliable means for employers to check the status of employees.
3. Provide severe punishments for knowingly hiring illegals (or reckless disregard). That punishment should include jail time for repeat violations.  
4. Eliminate ALL benefits for illegals including schools for children.
5. Rewrite legal immigration to allow in immigrants with a desirable education and/or skill set and arrange the waiting list to have the most skilled/educated at the top of the list. (Australian system) Also include a check for communicable diseases (as we did in the past) and provide for immunization. Immigrants from countries on the list of terror support need not apply.
6. For groups that already have large populations in the U.S. who have not assimilated, reduce the allowable numbers until they do (eliminate whole towns that do not speak English)
7. Provide severe penalties for mules.
8. Provide the death penalty for people involved in sex slavery.
9. Eliminate all forms of asylum. That system has been abused to the point of making it a joke. Any true case that needs to be let in should be a case by case special act passed by congress. Get them on record.
10. Immigrants who become involved in any serious crime prior to becoming a citizen should be deported back to their home country.
11. Absolutely no dual citizenship allowed.

It is not known whether any ancestors of Governor Rick Perry, the GOP Presidential nominee to be, ever resided in New Jersey. However an anonymous source reports that authorities haven't ruled out this possibility.
