It Probably Smells Like Mothballs, Too

What would you find if you went snooping around Carol Keaton Strayhorn's Attic? Pink hair accessories? Broken Records? Divorce papers from Abe Lincoln?

Apparently, Rick Perry thinks he's found a filing cabinet full of Strayhorn's tax refund secrets, a mounted large-mouth bass that exposes her flip-flopping, a treasure chest full of her constituent pay-outs. Oh yeah, a few powder kegs stamped "XXX". And even a recipe:

2 ½ cups gross incompetence
3 tbsp unbridled political ambition
1 stick gamesmanship
1 sprinkle hogwash
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Eat.
Drive immediately to emergency room.

Located on Perry's campaign website, this bizarre approach at interactive mudslinging is just plain weird. It looks like something out of Myst rather than the GOP. Plus, why couldn't Perry afford animation that didn't lag?

you eat breakfast tacos? i quit. it did make me choke on my breakfast, as well, though. then again, my breakfast is coffee and a cigarettte, so that could have something to do with it.

did you see strayhorn's people get excited over the fact that the last page of the electronic confirmaiton voting page cuts off names, leaving hers as "Carole Keeton St." and that she could get some mileage off of gravy training her dead grandather's street name: Dean Keeton? Stupid, gravy-training Grandma
