We are SO outta here...

It looks like it's a done deal. The Aggies have issued an official announcement that they're leaving the Big 12 Minus 2, and at least one sports columnist thinks the longhorns are probably jealous. I don't know about that, but I hope it's true. The short-term consequences of a move to the SEC are pretty grim to contemplate, unless it turns out that TAMU really IS a legitimate Top Ten team at this point. I keep thinking back to the 2010 season, when the Aggies went on a run that by their standards was just short of a miracle. As good as the 2010 Aggies were, though, they still lost to Arkansas and were hammered by LSU in the Cotton Bowl.

So... I'm reserving judgment on the SEC move for the moment. The positive aspect that leaps out at me today is that A&M is probably no longer joined at the hip to the longhorns. The negative aspect is that for several seasons, the Aggies may be closer to 6-6 than to 12-0.

Got another one for me to sign ?

El Perrito, having surged into the the lead in the Dipshit Derby, wants to cement his position as frontrunner by signing every pledge the lunatic fringe groups shove in front of him. What is it with these worthless motherfuckers and their loyalty oaths ?

Proof

If El Perrito's goal is to prove that he's crazier than Michele Bachmann and a much bigger asshole than George W. Bush ever thought about being, he's off to a great start. Every time this dipshit opens his mouth, he proves that things could get worse in America than they are today.

Dropping like flies ?

I guess Tim wasn't able to convince Iowa Republicans that they needed plenty of Pawlenty. I'm not really keeping track, but it seems like he's the first of the mullets to wise up and officially pull out of the race. I have a feeling that it won't be long until we're down to Perrito, Bachmann and Mittenful.

Today's WTF Political News

Even though one of them hasn't formally announced his candidacy, some splooge rag has written an analysis of the race to the GOP nomination and decided it will probably come down to The Mittenful and El Perrito, mano a mano for the big enchilada. This is probably just more of the fucking bullshit that makes up most newspaper filler these days, but for discussion's sake I'll assume the writer is omniscient. The best part is that Palin, Bachmann, Santorum, and the rest of the lineup crawl back under their rocks, and the media no longer gives a fuck what they think about anything.

Assuming Obama is on his political deathbed as a result of self-inflicted wounds and an economy that prefers life in the shithouse to sunshine and prosperity, we'll probably wind up with El Perrito in the White House and things will go from bad to worse. Obama, for all his faults, isn't pushing to legislate the evangelunical agenda and can be trusted to keep the likes of Scalia and Thomas off the Supreme Court.
