I was quick to tease Kung Fu actor/infomercial activist Chuck Norris over his inkling to become the president of Texas. Ah, after further review it appears Gov. Rick Perry was posturing when whining about federal stimulus tyranny: Sorry Charlie; perhaps Oklahoma will accept your tempting offer. I’m assuming the confederation of wealthy southern planters’ intent on keeping slavery as a means to greatly reduce labor costs have been replaced by less chivalrous anti-labor union public relation firms. Ergo armed, open rebellion against the United States consists of mouthy media talking heads -- otherwise known as American Enterprise Institute employees. Then again, Gov. Perry may be upset that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is more popular. And who can blame him? Losing the Republican gubernatorial primary to Miss Kay isn’t what my beleaguered life trainer calls “a step in the right direction”. (Coach Lo Fat has been instrumental in holding my chi back from Downstream Casino).
It’s getting hard to take movement conservatives seriously. I hope Madame Rosa is right: Allowing wage earning Americans receiving federal tax cuts an opportunity to vent against any future progressive taxation against their wealthier populist comrades might prove therapeutic in the way that placeboes ‘treat’ hypochondriacs. Missing a golden opportunity to decry fiscal irresponsibility during the Bush Administration, at the very least today’s tantrums will give the descendants of Glenn Beck’s strange Paine plenty of space to piss, moan and generally bitch about the downside of reasonably free elections. Whether or not “tea parties” can capture the frenzied energy of sock monkey-waving Sarah Palin rallies remains to be seen.
