Thanks to some friendly persuasion by readers of Bildungblog,

Lady Fearguth (aka Roseann) has launched her own blog,

Lady Fearguth's Garden of Earthly Delights. If you enjoy

viewing beautiful photographs of what's going on in her

butterfly garden, head on over there and tell her

Fearguth sent you.

Lee 'Scratch' Perry

Rick 'Crotch' Perry

You can see why Rick Perry made a 'D' in his 'Feeds and

Feeding' course at Texas A&M.

Big Dog Sez:  "I got tickled by watching Froggy

announce for President. He's a good looking rascal."

"Before we get started, let's all say 'Happy Deathday'

 to Elvis Presley today!"

"The other day, Governor Perry, you referred to Barack

Obama as a 'big black cloud' hanging over America.  In

your estimation, is the President more stratocumulus or

cumulonimbus?"

To a crowd in Iowa, Rick Perry said if Ben Bernanke

 "prints more money between now and the election I don't

know what you'all would do to him in Iowa but we would

treat him pretty ugly down in Texas."  For those of us

Texans old enough to remember, this is the same 

sort of poisonous rhetoric that incited a crowd to

assault UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson in Dallas

on October 24, 1963, and that created the toxic

atmosphere in which JFK was assassinated

on a Dallas street on November 22, 1963.

"Help me, doctor!  When I woke up this morning, I had

gold bugs crawling all over me!"

"Look, I'm John Culberson, a Republican and  a

member of the House of Representatives from the

great state of Texas.  So why is it that when I walk

down the street, people frequently confuse me with

 curbside rubbish?"

"I'm John C. Calhoun, and I would like to

join Phil Gramm in endorsing Rick Perry

as the next President of the United States.

I've been dead, of course, since 1850,

but I'm still not as dead as Phil Gramm."

"When are you going to stop teasing us, Mr. Bolton,

and enter the GOP race to decide who really is 

the 'Boss Walrus'?

Q:  Why did the sloth cross the road?

A:  Because it was hoping to move up from #5

on the list of the Seven Deadly Sins.

No, President Obama is not grieving because his approval

rating, according to the latest Gallup Poll, has fallen to

39%.  No, it's because Mitt Romney still won't eat his

 dog food and Sarah Palin is eating a deep-fried

Twinkie-on-a-Stick, instead of her peas.

Some people are probably wondering why Pam Geller

has appeared 21 times (so far) in the Bildungblog

 series, 'Ghastly Monsters and Blond Giants'. 

Well, you see, it's like this:  Pam Geller is

the Ghastly Monster who hangs out with

more Blond Giants than anybody else.

The United States has been spending hundreds of

billions of dollars---even, perhaps, trillions---trying to

 make friends with people in the Middle East. Couldn't

 the U.S. do this a whole lot cheaper on Facebook?
