Texas Governor Rick Perry, signing two pieces of legislation on Sunday at a church:
During the 1 1/2-hour program, Perry also signed a resolution to amend the Texas Constitution by banning same-sex marriages."Texans have made a decision about marriage and if there is some other state that has a more lenient view than Texas then maybe that's a better place for them to live," Perry said.
Yeah, you don't want none of them uppity homos in Texas. The best part was that he was accompanied by Pastor Rod Parsley, an Ohio televangelist who is great fun to watch. About 10 years ago, I was watching his show and stopped dead in my tracks as he said this:
"How do I know that the Bible is the word of God? Because it's the only book that claims to be the word of God. So I don't need the Koran....I don't need the book of Mormon...."
And no, I'm not making that up.

Last week, Rick Perry made some factually false and deeply disturbing claims about how evolution is and ought to be taught in Texas.
Rick Perry was asked about evolution by a kid; his answer was both condescending and wrong.
I was recently contacted by Heather Perry, one of the few people in the world who has performed self-trepanation.
He did not say that ... ?
Hmm, I'm not sure I understand the reference to George Wallace. I was stationed at Craig AFB in Selma, AL when MLK was there marching across the same Edmund Pettus Bridge that I took to get back and forth to work everyday. I don't recall Gov. Wallace ever suggesting that Negroes who didn't like segregation should high tail it out of Alabama. Am I missing something here? BW
Perry's last comment reminds me of "Kissing Hank's Ass."
