There’s a lot of stupid going on around here.

Breaking news. It seems that good ol’ boy Rick Perry is having a tough time raising funds after a series of devastating debate performances and sinking poll numbers. The Houston Chronicle reported this week that “Perry loyalists are working hard to ensure that the Texas governor has enough cash to survive the early stages of the presidential campaign” even though damn near everybody believes Perry “is on a negative trajectory.” Yup.

Perry’s most recent gaffe occurred Friday during an interview on Fox News when he blasted the Obama administration for traveling to foreign countries and not protecting American jobs. Obviously Perry was clueless that’s exactly what President Obama just did on his Asian economic trip … scoring more than 110,000 jobs for Boeing and U.S. manufacturers by selling jets to an Indonesian airline. Duhh.

Bottom line … throwing more money into Perry’s campaign would be a lot like buying extra deck chairs for the Titanic.

God bless Texas, y’all. And I mean this sincerely.
