1. Is that sign real?

Funny thing is that I just saw a video where it claimed no one was allowed to bring in home made signs. The Perry campaign made them all and handed them out to the guests as they filed in.

Which means that their "uber control" of their message was a FAIL!

Maybe they all need a hand cheat sheet, ala Palin. Especially when advocating for homeschooling.

:rofl:

The actual story is kind of amusing.

3. Perry & Palin, Sittin' In A Tree: Empty Seats and Empty Heads

Yes it is amusing.

Perry & Palin, Sittin' In A Tree: Empty Seats, Bad Music And Lots Of Old White People :spray:

Some needs to photoshop that second image too. The one that says "Texas is Succeeding" and make it "Texas is Seceding - Thanks to you Rick Perry!"

5. Apparently the sign is real - priceless

Spotted at a Sarah Palin Rally Daily Kos Diary 2/9/10
Bryan Fotographer at Houston Press brings us the above awesomeness from Sarah Palin's rally for Rick Perry in Houston, along with the following caption:

'The "Get a brain, morans" sign guy must have been busy on Sunday.'

The Houston Press article picture sideshow link: Houston Press 2/8/10

Great captions on the pictures. I think the readers are allowed to write their own captions on the pictures. Hence the classic "Get a brain, morans" caption.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

7. Well, I stand corrected

I guess sometimes geese DO lay golden eggs.

8. Viral

It needs to keep going, and going, and going. And giving and giving...

Some smart PAC ad could subtly use it in an ad against Perry. I would. :evilgrin:

6. Five Things We Learned From Sarah Palin's Big Houston Visit

Five Things We Learned From Sarah Palin's Big Houston Visit

1. She's not necessarily the draw she's made out to be.
Right up to the event, organizers were still pleading for fans to get tickets and bring out friends and family to the Berry Convention Center, which seats about 11,000. This despite the fact that, as Hair Balls learned from an organizer, there was a pranky Facebook group dedicated to Houstonians requesting tickets and then not using them, in the hopes that organizers would believe it was a sell-out and stop giving tickets away. (Sadly, supposed ticket-requesters Anita Mann and Ima Jackauff were no-shows.)

"I reserved 10 seats. They required names of each guest. I mostly used drag queen names," prankster Michael Copenhaver tells Hair Balls. "It really would have been interesting if my "guests" had shown up."

In Spring, which really is the heart of the Palin demographic around here, the hall was only half-filled, on a weekend. Which also says something about Rick Perry's ability to organize a successful event. Bus in those seniors, dude!!
