The blog title comes from a tweet by John Dean, which got my attention immediately. Rick Perry the birther strikes again. “It’s a good issue to keep alive.“

What fun! Questioning the first black president’s citizenship! Hey, R.P., that is SO five billion racist insults ago! But we’re all thrilled to pieces that you’re enjoying yourself.

Meanwhile, there are a few things he might try addressing, like how many jobs have the Republicans created? Who eliminated Osama bin Laden again, and what exactly are your foreign policy positions? How about those Occupy protesters? What might possibly be bothering them?

In short, while there are many, many more urgent issues at hand, Ricky is fixated on having all kinds of fun kissing Donald Trump’s ass, perpetuating lies, and failing miserably at attempts to sound coherent during the endless Teabates.
