Oops Doesn’t Disqualify Perry

The whole world thinks that Rick Perry ruined his chances of becoming president when he forgot the third federal agency he would do away with and he said “Oops.”

The OWS crowd forgets the Golden Rule

My Jewish friend is in favor of OWS. He doesn’t care that many of the protestors are anti-Semitic and that the mob would reapportion his money and perhaps rearrange his face. He is naïve.

Why sacrifice to carelessly corrupt government institutions?
