Rick "We Don't Help Losers" Perry rejects $555 million in federal stimulus money

A letter I just sent:

Dear Alan Bernstein,

Despite your characterization of the stimulus package as a "so-called stimulus package" the aim of the legislation is clear; to help those who have lost their jobs in recent months to get back on their feet. Your dismissive tone in the Houston Chronicle today demonstrates your complete lack of a forebrain, and your ability to parse the facts with the same dittohead incompetence as Rick Perry himself. Being one of the Chronicle's writers who still has a job, please consider growing a pair and standing up for not only the thousands of Texans out of work today, but also your former colleagues who have recently lost their positions with your employer. I for one will espouse the position that Texans should "Impeach Rick Perry" online and in person to the fullest of my ability. Texas is a community, and should not be subject to the whims of a repugnant troglodyte stultifying his own constituents in search of conservative bona fides and higher office.

Sincerely,

Sean Carroll
