LoL!!
Was Rick Perry actually drunk? A computer says it knows
..At a computer station in the back of the laboratory, the team was eager to finally show off its new system. Black put on a headset and sat in the pilots seat, where he began saying commands to familiarize the program with his voice.
He uttered three "sober" sentences, three "drunk" sentences and then a test sentence.
"Now its going through and training the system," said Narayanan. Its extracting spectral voice quality features, extracting prosodic features, intonation and so on, its now crunching, organizing it in order of importance.
A few minutes later the results were in. The computer came up with a score of five out of seven, or about 70 percent. Narayanan said it was a pretty good score - about on par with human accuracy, in fact - and said it was time to try a clip from Rick Perry's speech.
They ran the audio and waited. The results appeared. Perry was sober.

I have no opinion on his condition at the infamous NH speech. More to the point, the “Tea Party” candidates haven’t exactly panned out in every instance. Haley is endorsing Romney. Brown is now being targeted for replacement. O’Donnell was a flop.
I could have overlooked a lot of things I didn’t like about Perry, EXCEPT for the whole Guardasil fiasco. That one forever tainted my opinion of the man. Stunk of both chrony capitalism at its worst, and the overreaching of the government to strong-arm very young girls to get vaccines for STD’s. Two strikes and your out Rick.
Actually makes me wonder if it wasn’t the back pain meds that may have make him sound that way.
