Brain Freeze

My mother looked out her kitchen window, and noticed that all her neighbors had their garbage cans out by the curb, ready for pick up, even though it was a holiday, with no trash service. She said to me "those dumb asses."  Tactfully, meekly, I asked whether she might be responding a bit harshly. After all, people do forget things.

So what's with this national piling on of poor presidential candidate Rick Perry? The guy makes one mistake, has a mental block, and the media, and apparently a large part of the audience, is asking whether he is fit to be president! For heaven's sake, call off the attack dogs!

As a socialistic liberal democrat, I won't be voting for Perry, or any other conservative, in all probability. But this reaction to his brain freeze is entirely ridiculous. Let's all relax, and give the guy a break. If mental blocks disqualified a person from political office, we'd have no government.
