TX Gov Rick Perry Goes Ballistic over Explosion Cartoon (Corporate Profits, interstate, FBI)

[usc619]

I thought it was a great pictorial of that moron's ideology.

From what I hear, Perry kinda liked that cartoon until one of his staffers explained it to him.

Is it distasteful and offensive? Yes. Is the truth also sometimes distasteful and offensive? Indeed it is.

If you have lived in Texas long enough (I have) and you are honest with yourself you know damned well this is a result of lax regulation and our lassiez faire attitude towards such issues. And, quite predictably, there's Perry crying like a widdle baby as usual.

Actually, West Texas (the town) is not in West Texas.

Reminds me day after Boston Bombings a Canadian friend posted this comment on his FB wall it's kinda rude but not cruel.

Its typical of the left in the USA. Conservatives are but "targets of opportunity", while the reverse is "hate speech". Priceless.

Oh, so you hadn't simply forgotten the comma between "West" and "Texas." The town is simply "West," hence the "West Fertilizer Company."

Most people probably think that farmers/ranchers go to the local Home Depot or Lowes garder center and buy fertilizer by the 35# sack. That "industry" is federally regulated.
