Stupidity . . .

FRED REED thinks the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, is stupider than a trilobite. Why? Rickie wants to invade Mexico.

Almost forever, the record for stupidity was held by Lumbo, a Cambrian trilobyte (sic) born to an early family of retarded trilobites. Lumbo also had Down’s Syndrome. It ws an unbeatable combination. Nobody and nothing was as slow as Lumbo. It was thought that he would hold the record for all time, but then came the governor of Texas, Rick Perry. He thinks it might be a good idea to invade Mexico.

Even the Washington Post is warming up to the concept. Here there be lunacy. Fortunately, it's not likely to happen. That being said, stranger things have happened. IMHO, it would be the suicide of the US republic.

I dunno. If they invaded and annexed Mexico there would be no more southern border problem and no more illegal aliens problem.

Now that would piss off the Tea Party. They'd have to find another scapegoat. Probably wouldn't take them long though.

Trilobitism! And they can't even defend themselves!

Please Texas (alone) invade Mexico - hopefully Mexico will kick your ass and take you back - which would improve the United States immensely.

We wouldn't have the Texas School Board cramming Creationism down the throats of Americans elsewhere (they would have to go Catholic - a parochial school system perhaps?). Dell from Hell computers would be based in Mexico. And the Dallas CowpieBoys would become Mexico's team in the kind of Football Mexicans don't like as much.

Certain worthwhile Texans, like Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett and Steve Earle would be invited as refugees in some civilized jurisdiction like Oregon or Canada.

Who thought I WASN'T a master at international relations - Forty Nine states, none of 'em named Texas, what a dream!

So if USA! USA! invades Mexico, under NAFTA who does Canada defend? Interesting conundrum.

We could grab Vermont while they are busy down south...

We don't need the maple syrup, do we?

Besides, I think Texas should invade on their own, though they could have as allies any of the former Confederate States that want to go along - and if they lose, Mexico is stuck with 'em!

Do none of you remember "The Mouse That Roared"? Made into a film (staring Peter Sellers) from the side achingly hilarious book of the same name. The principality of Fenwick, flat broke, decides to declare war on the United States on the assumption that the US would win and then money would flow to rebuild war torn Fenwick. That's not how it works out, but back to Mexico - what a bonus - the US invades, Mexico surrenders and then says - OK you guys work it out - we're tired of trying, and the US has 100 million mouths to feed, there are no more illegals, just refugees from the war and the US has to deal with the Narcos now there is no border.

Good thinking Scanner, but I still prefer Mexico getting stuck with Texas!

(btw, my word verification was "nefterd," is that some nasty name for a computer geek?)
