Unemploy Rick Perry – here’s how

If you’re disgusted and angry, as an actual or potential unemployed Texan — Republican, Democrat or unaffiliated — with Gov. Rick Perry’s letting the state’s unemployment benefits system get so ridiculously far out of whack the state is having to borrow $650 million from the federal government after Perry petulantly declined $550 million in unemployment-related federal stimulus funding this spring — you know Perry needs to be unemployed next year.

If you’re a Democrat, beat the November 2010 rush and do it in the spring. Tom Schieffer’s a nominal Democrat anyway, but with bucks enough to probably scare off others. If he does get the nomination, he’s better than Tricky Ricky, anyway.

But, if we get Kay Bailey Cheerleader the GOP nomination, then there’s no worry about Tricky Ricky.

Put up campaign signs for your favorite Democratic gubernatorial candidate, but register Republican and vote Kay.

Greens and die-hard Naderites, ditto. This isn’t a presidential year, so you don’t have to sit out the primary season to sign a ballot access petition.
