Is there?
Are there?

Ok, it would appear that God is talking to Scott Walker again, though there appears to be some inconsistency with regards to his imaginary friends’ guidance. Let’s review shall we, from the Raw Story.
“As you can imagine, the months leading up to my announcement that I would run for President of the United States were filled with a lot of prayer and soul searching.”
“Here’s why: I needed to be certain that running was God’s calling — not just man’s calling. I am certain: This is God’s plan for me and I am humbled to be a candidate for President of the United States,” Walker said in the email.
Standard political pandering to his God bothering base, then early this week we were made privy to this delusional Divine directive. From the Washington Post.
“Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive, conservative message can rise to the top of the field,” Walker said in a brief speech in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday evening. “With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately.”
Then, just like his college days, Walker was gone, short of his goal.
When reached backstage, at the Globe Theater, during a smoke break, Actors Guild member Willie Shakespeare had this to say, “Farewell, bastard”.
[Ed. note] I wrote this earlier and I couldn’t have been more wrong if the Flying Spaghetti Monster had guided my hand.
The Clown Car is making a stop in Simi Valley, Califorina tonight at the Saint Ronnie Hall of Shame Reagan Presidential Libary, for the second stop on the Stupidity Pays tour, aka. Popcorn and bourbon night at my house. Don’t miss the show folks, in all seriousness, this may be a once in a lifetime event or the start of our dystopian new normal.
Well, it had to start with someone
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Out of money and relegated once again to the back-of-the-pack debate, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday dropped out of the race for president, ending his second bid for the Republican presidential nomination and becoming the first major candidate of the 2016 campaign to give up on the White House.
The Perry champaign has run aground, the good news is he is now free to spend more time with his family lawyers.
Rick Perry is still facing a felony abuse of power count in Texas, and it has always been more likely that the former Governor would end up in prison than in the White House.
Of course, he kept it classy on his way to the door.
“The answer to a president nominated for soaring rhetoric and no record is not to nominate a candidate whose rhetoric speaks louder than his record. It is not to replicate the Democrat model of selecting a president, falling for the cult of personality over durable life qualities,”
The only down side to Perry leaving the race is that we are now faced with reduced opportunities to laugh and point.
Oh yeah, nice glasses douche bag.
