The shape of things to come…2011: Yay, congratulations to the Libyan rebels and good luck on their new Democracy…2013: This Civil War between the Libyan rebels just gets worse and worse, Warlord A killed Warlord B today. Some stability sure would be good for U.S. oil prices…2015: New, U.S.-backed dictator, Omar Saadafi, takes control of Libya.
The farce that is the Republican presidential primary will probably be decided in the first five states, as the GOP likes to goose step behind one guy early. We should know by mid-Spring if it will be Romney or Perry, and it’s virtually decided to be Perry even a year out from the actual RNC convention.
So with the nominee all but set that leaves Huntsman to try to convince GOP moderates (all 12 of them) to come out of hiding, Gingrich to try to get on television as much as possible to line up a new commentator gig on Faux News after he drops out, and for Santorum to do what Santorum does best…lose epically and annoy the shit out of everyone until he is finally forced out of the race.
NY hit by an Earthquake this last week, I guess the Earth is warming up to end if Rick Perry becomes president in 2012. Luckily, Perry prayed for the Earthquake (“God’s tummy rumbling”) and last week’s floods to stop so we don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Asshole of the Week: Whoever is talking to pollsters about climate crisis. Apparently, Huntsman all but signed his own political death certificate last week by coming out as “believing” in evolution and climate crisis. According to most polls, only 8 percent of the GOP believes unequivocally in evolution and only 36 percent believe pollution is behind climate crisis. AND only half of “independents” believe in climate crisis…I mean, you expect it in Bubba-Nation but so called independents can’t read a carbon emissions bar graph?
