THE TROOPS CAN HEAR YOU LAUGH TOO

Whatever You Are Thinking Right Now, It Counts As Making Fun Of Trig


Did you know there was a Rick Perry-Sarah Palin rally? Can you tell there was a Rick Perry-Sarah Palin rally?

Sometime yesterday or maybe just some other day this or last week, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and racecar driver and/or executionist Ted Nugent held a rally for let’s say the Super Bowl. Houston Press ace photographer “Bryan Fotographer” was there, because that’s his beat, images. Anyway, some of the photos, like this one of a human-shaped bag of meth covered entirely in sequins are quite comical. Enjoy/weep! [Especially you, tipster "Monsieur Grumpe"]

    Home “Scholers” Lol. I bet his folks are against the Pubic option as well.

  2. So Governor Perry prefers the homeschooled variety and this kid was sent out to find some for him? Isn’t he worried that Chris Hansen will get wind of this?

  3. Crank Tango says at 11:12 am, February 9th, 2010

    it’s a combination of homeschoolers and homescholars, you judgemental hippies.

  4. charlesdegoal says at 11:14 am, February 9th, 2010

    More retarded than Americans in general: Texans. Scary. Could not look beyond the fifth photo without feeling ill.

  5. Is this for fucking real? Oh jeebus christ, the dumbfuckery of this nation cannot be satirized.

  6. V572625694 says at 11:15 am, February 9th, 2010

    Ted Nugent is just what the Snowbilly/Gayhair 2012 ticket needs in the way of star power.

    “Leave your cares behind,
    Come with us and find
    The pleasures of a journey
    To the center of your asshole”

  7. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:16 am, February 9th, 2010

    Uncle Sam has got that aging child molester vibe down pat, baby.

  8. Red Zeppelin says at 11:16 am, February 9th, 2010

    OMG Texas flag+homescholers+GOP=full retard mode.

  9. Dashboard_Buddha: As stupid as the kid, I didn’t notice the spelling either. Sad all around.

  10. I thought it was Katey Perry, who was also raised in an insular Christian schooling environment, but then decided to write pop songs about gay kissing. Catchy ones, too. Really, she’s an inspiration for all of us Americans, and kudos to that kid for recognizing pop greatness, even if she is a prodigal son of the homeschool movement.

  11. Texan Bulldoggette says at 11:16 am, February 9th, 2010

    Perry was too much of a pussy to have this in Austin. He knows folks here would have managed to spell ‘Fucking Retard’ correctly on their signs & pelted them with tamales & empty Blue Moon bottles.

  12. As an officer of the court, I am required to be judgmental, rather than judgemental.

  13. norbizness says at 11:17 am, February 9th, 2010

    “Jointly sponsored by Consort for Men and Gee! Your Hair Smells Terrific!”

  14. But remember, homescholing is a perfectly gud way to raise a kid that wont tern them all ignant and stuf.

  15. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:24 am, February 9th, 2010

    Morans, also.

  16. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:24 am, February 9th, 2010

    After I learn the language, I’m going to visit this strange country called Texas.

  17. alzronnie says at 11:26 am, February 9th, 2010

    “Homescholer” replaces retard from now on.

  18. Gopherit says at 11:27 am, February 9th, 2010

    Dashboard_Buddha: If only they had been against the pubic option, they wouldn’t have had to worry about homescholing.

  19. donner_froh says at 11:27 am, February 9th, 2010

    Caption on the next picture after meth-fuel Uncle Sam is:

    “Sarah Palin looks more and more like a Memorial housewife every day.”

    Probably funny but I don’t get the reference.

  20. CrunchyKnee says at 11:30 am, February 9th, 2010

    Even a homescholer can become president in america!

  21. assistant/atlas says at 11:30 am, February 9th, 2010

    Is it sad that it took me a half-dozens slides before I figured out that The Houston Press is a libtard satirical “alt-weekly” blogsheet?

    I say no, no it is not. Because satire is dead. The Republitards killed it.

  22. NotthatLC says at 11:33 am, February 9th, 2010

    I love it when you can’t even make this stuff up.

  23. Jumping Jim says at 11:33 am, February 9th, 2010

    My kid goes to a very good public school and she isn’t very good at spelling either.

    Laugh at your own risk, many people laughed at the 1964 Republican convention and 4 years later after complete Democratic Party screw ups, and yeah, thinking health care, while important, was more important than jobs to the majority of Americans, was a screwup.

    It’s always the economy, and however he came to own it, Obama now owns it.

    You can make fun of these people all you want, and by God, it is easy to do, but do not underestimate what they represent.

  24. SayItWithWookies says at 11:33 am, February 9th, 2010

    You know you’re dealing with a special class of people when they find Texas public education is so liberal that they need to homeschool. Or homeschol, rather.

  25. bitchincamaro says at 11:33 am, February 9th, 2010

    “Extra special guest, Ted Nugent” = “most retarded”

  26. Flanders says at 11:35 am, February 9th, 2010

    The homescholer photo is now my favorite. Even more than the fallen furry or the Wapo mascot.

  27. ohiolobbyist says at 11:35 am, February 9th, 2010

    Am I the only one who thinks that the photographer’s name being fotographer is the most interesting part of the story?

  28. Crank Tango says at 11:36 am, February 9th, 2010

    Prommie: LOL I always have a problem with that one.

    And maybe they meant Homeskoaler?

  29. letmetellyou says at 11:38 am, February 9th, 2010

    I imagine “scholers” is pronounced much like “Skoal” which means, by transitive property, that this kid is a Skoal Rebel follower who misspelled Skoal.

  30. Paul Tardy says at 11:38 am, February 9th, 2010

    I hate to be petty but, I am still waiting for that Mormon orphan kid I was promised. Normally I don’t take these ponzi things seriously but this time I was on the third level of success. Now I can see if Gov Perry didn’t have any Mormon kids, but as it turns out he had over 400. So I think I have a right to complain.

  31. ManchuCandidate says at 11:43 am, February 9th, 2010

    Jumping Jim:
    You have a point, but these guys are a political Yugoslavia waiting to fall apart. Goldwater and his group united a fractured party around a common theme based on the Cold War dynamic. Unless they rally around a single idea then nothing is going to keep the right from civil war.

  32. bitchincamaro says at 11:43 am, February 9th, 2010

    Prommie: You could also be “judged mental”, my dear Prommster.

  33. forgracie says at 11:43 am, February 9th, 2010

    Only elitists complain about spelling, you morans.

  34. teebob2000 says at 11:45 am, February 9th, 2010

    Did he/she/it misspell “homeschoolers” or “homescholars” ? They’re both 1 letter off but “scholars” is a harder word to spell. Both, however, should be hyphenated so they’re a fucking retard for that.

  35. Schmannity says at 11:46 am, February 9th, 2010

    As W said, “is our children learnin’ in school”

  36. bored with gravity says at 11:47 am, February 9th, 2010

    donner_froh: Memorial is an affluent area of Houston. Being a former “Memorial housewife,” I can help you out here. Just think well-to-do, stay at home mom, kids in private school, Republican, Junior League type 30-40 year old woman. The stock market crash helped me pull out just in time to save my soul.

  37. hoosiermama says at 11:47 am, February 9th, 2010

    Haha. My husband’s a Nugent fan so I sent him the link to this and this is what he sent back:

    Politico reported that Nugent, speaking about hunting to Royal Flush magazine in December, said: “It’s perfect. It’s untouchable on all levels. Unless you’re retarded.”

    A request for comment from Palin’s representatives was not answered Thursday.

  38. bored with gravity says at 11:48 am, February 9th, 2010

    Flanders: I still like “Get a brain, morans” the best.

  39. SayItWithWookies: Now, it’s very important that we teach our children blatant lies in school. As a good old-fashioned pagan, I’m trying to get the school board to teach the controversy over whether the seasons are caused by the axial tilt or Demeter’s grieving for Persephone while she’s in Hades.

  40. EdFlinstone says at 11:51 am, February 9th, 2010

    Ted Nugent and Chuck Norris are the Jefferson and Adams of our time. Maybe this end of the world stuff has some merit.

  41. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 11:53 am, February 9th, 2010

    I shudder to imagine the home where those kids are being scholed.

  42. ManchuCandidate: But they have a common theme. Granted, “Ah don’ want no n***** as Pres’nit” in’t going to be a long-term idea, but that’s sustaining them for now.

  43. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:55 am, February 9th, 2010

    Oh my god, Juli. This is begging for a Blingee and/or caption contest.

    bored with gravity: Wow. We have Junior League in NY too. Who knew.

  45. gurukalehuru says at 11:58 am, February 9th, 2010

    Homescholers are morans.

  46. The kid is definite “Texas A&M” material.

  47. Flanders says at 12:01 pm, February 9th, 2010

    teebob2000: I’m sure it was done intentionally, either way.

  48. WhatTheHeck says at 12:02 pm, February 9th, 2010

    All I noticed was the last part of the sign read “…holers.”
    Is this some kind of secret Republican call to action?

  49. progressiveinga says at 12:03 pm, February 9th, 2010

    TVarmy: That’s “homeschol movement”. Retard.

  50. Snarkalicious says at 12:05 pm, February 9th, 2010

    Jumping Jim: On Obama’s Ownership: Nobody dumps a moldy couch on your lawn at 2:30AM like trailer trash.

  51. JMP: Now the fun thing is, I was taught in school that winter is indeed caused by demeter’s mourning for persephone, who had to spend 6 months in hades each year because she ate 6 pomegranate pips. So ha! I was also taught old union organizing songs and we were all spoon fed the story of this woman who was the President of the Communist Party of the USA, CPUSA, back in the 30s, she was the most prominent of all communists in Amurrica, and in my public school, she was everywhere, held up to us as an inspirational hero. Helen Keller, I believe was the name.

  52. P Drizzle says at 12:06 pm, February 9th, 2010

    Stupid libtard rules like spelling and logic won’t apply in the post-secession republic of Tejas. They will also outlaw Spanish. Jammacain will then welcome the illegals to their new home in Arizona and make a law allowing em to vote since they’re the only people still retarded enough to elect him.

  53. S.Luggo: I hope they put him on the bonfire commmittee.

  54. SayItWithWookies: You know, I had gone to two public middle schools in Austin (highschool was private), and my husband was in public highschool in San Antonio. It’s not that the education is bad. The teachers are competent and dedicated, the curriculum is more than adequate, and if you have the drive, you can go as far as you want. My husband got an I.B. at his public high school - I don’t think my private one even offered the option.

    So it’s not the school system itself that’s bad. It’s the fucking kids. The kids are mostly retarded.

  55. Larry McAwful says at 12:08 pm, February 9th, 2010

    Ha ha! They forgot the apostrophe in “homescholer’s”!

  56. The Names Jesus says at 12:11 pm, February 9th, 2010

    Hey Jumpin Jim, other than the dingle berries on your asshole exactly what do these people represent?

  57. queeraselvis v 2.0: Where the hell is that dress/bling from, Hot Topic?

  58. I think he meant:

    “Home South Carolina Holers for Perry”

    …which is FOX NEWS-speak for we’re folksy.

    ManchuCandidate: Single theme, Obama.

    I notice little Piper in those pictures. She was also in Nashville. Doesn’t she have to go to schol?

  63. Cape Clod says at 12:25 pm, February 9th, 2010

    In “A Canticle for Liebowitz” the survivors in the post-apocalyptic America decide to blame the educated and all written material as the cause of their problems and put them to the flames in an act called “The Great Simplification.” The result of course was a new Dark Age.
    Something tells me that these people are capable of the same thing.

  64. Jumping Jim says at 12:26 pm, February 9th, 2010

    The Names Jesus: Hey Fucktard, they represent people who don’t like you. Ignore them at your own risk.

  65. Jumping Jim: You actually think the kid made his own sign?

  66. Jumping Jim:
    “My kid goes to a very good public school and she isn’t very good at spelling either.”

    1. So, it’s all your public school’s fault.

    2. One reason “Homescholers” give for taking their kid out of the pernicious environs of the public school is the assertion that they can give child a better education. Heh.

    3. Mom is the lower right of the photo. She can clearly see her kid’s sign and the misspelling. Mom probably shrieked at her illiterate offspring to hold the sign towards the cameras, rather than the stage. Major fail.

  67. This is clearly the work of cockbombing homescholed muslins.

    Sarah Palin, October 2008: [i]At a rally on Saturday in California, Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women,” the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.[/i]

    Rick Perry’s primary challengers are both women.

    Dear god, those people are serious, they made up their own word combining scholar and schooler. This is the response from my co-worker, which I am too busy to google and verify:

    According to the Oxford Home Schooling Website, Home Scholers is proper when refering to children who are home schooled.

  80. Tommmcatt says at 1:39 pm, February 9th, 2010

    mayor_quimby:

    There’s an “Oxford Home Schooling” Website? They’re mean the shoes, right?

    mayor_quimby: After a bit of Goggling, this woman uses “Home Scholer” on her personal website to refer to the child being “home schooled”. But wouldn’t you then use “scholar” like you would in other designations such as “Rhodes Scholar” etc?

    The National Home education Research Institute uses “homeschoolers” once in a description of the sites resources, but for the most part, the non-grammatically challenged seem to avoid the issue and use terms like “homeschooled students”.

    I call bullshit: homescholer is retarded.

    The best thing about born-again home-schooling is that the kids are likely to rebel in a serious way when they grow up. They are the next generation of lefty atheists. Unfortunately, the children of the present generation of lefties are likely to get born-again. The cycle will continue eternally.
