The comments at "Althouse" are great.

Best headline of the day.

I get that feeling when I think about Pelosi

When you think about Rick Perry, The New Yorker would like you to think about squeezed testicles

When I think about The New Yorker, I think of no testicles...

Another thing. You know those photo shots of Perry that are evidently entirely too masculine and attractive for the NE liberal/RINO crowd, where he has one boot hiked up on the bale of hay? I wish to start a rumor here. Anybody with back pain tends to do the very same thing. I’ve seen it and know it to be true and just wonder if that could be one reason for the more relaxed pose during part of that stump speech. Not that his pose even matters in that casual setting among like minded farmers enjoying their state fair or wherever it was. The fact that he is recovering from back surgery made me think about the criticism he was getting for “swagger”.

Without getting to graphic, let me just say that it helps to have brass ones. It just might, could be that we need a leader with brass ones to lead us out of THE VALLEY OF DEBT.

Down here we see New York City to be the armpit of the USA. Also, they make bad choices when eating salsa.

, in 1968, the student body looked much like him: white, male, determinedly rural

This may be a little bit peripheral to the thread, but...

I haven't been everywhere in this country, but I live in Ohio, have been to several southern states, along with Texas and Oklahoma, and we now have property in WV.

Every rural area I've been to, is nearly exclusively white.

I don't believe people in those areas are racist and would create a hostile environment for non-whites (although non-whites may believe that and it would be enough to presumably deter them) - in fact, I think rural people are some of the most accepting there are towards racial and/or ethinic differences.

Are there rural areas of non-white farmers, ranchers, etc. that I just haven't seen, or is there something about either the area or the type of work/mindset that is not compatible with the average non-white?

OMG he did crazy things in college, outrageous! LOL!

[ArrogantBustard]

When I think about the "New Yorker", I don't think of squeezed balls.

I think of lack of balls.

Those Aggies do have some bizarre rituals.

All this info about the college days of a guy who entered the race days ago and no info about the sitting president.
