A spokesman for Tall Birds Against Perry 

said Thursday he has never forgotten when Rick

Perry--then Texas' Agriculture Commissioner--

said, "Breeding and processing emus represent

a new direction for Texas agriculture.  This is a

product that is raised, processed and manufactured

right here in Texas, which means we are keeping

jobs, opportunities and dollars at home working

for all Texans."  Just a few years later, the

Great Texas Emu Bubble burst, leaving

 Texas investors saying, "Charles Ponzi

was a saint, compared to Rick Perry!"

Jethro's Ponzistein, the first known instance of
Epic Fail in world literature.
