Rick Perry Tried to Sell Corpses of Texas Teachers to Wall Street
http://www.wonkette.com/

How is the “death industry” doing these days? That whole funeral home, flowers, Jell-O-and-ham potluck, casket and cemetery plot thing that Americans used to do when there were still a few crumpled dollar bills left in the “rainy day jar” for a dignified burial? No, we mean that “other” death industry, the one where Rick Perry makes millions of dollars allowing mutant humanoid speculators to place bets amongst themselves about when retired Texas school teachers would croak, and then give Rick Perry a cut of the “winnings” for the privilege. That one, apparently, was Rick Perry’s one-time brilliant plan to make the state of Texas a pile of cash.

2. What a ghoul.
Every day I discover something new NOT to like about him. Already knew he was yet another candidate who'll never get my vote (republi-CON and/or CONservative) but I didn't anticipate this many reasons why, already. And some of those reasons are deadly serious! I find him not just revolting, but alarming.

5. From "Capitalism: A Love Story"...
Wal-Mart no longer takes out dead peasant policies on their employees. But they still call them "associates".
Michael Moore's magnum opus. See it already.
