Rick Perry, governor of Texas (National Laboratory of Bad Politics – according to Molly Ivins) goes jogging with sidearms, we learn today. And he is a-feared o’ snakes.
Anyway, Governor Goodhair was out jogging and shot a coyote using a laser-sighted .380 Ruger — loaded with hollow-point bullets.
Dude really is a-feared of snakes. That’s some serious firepower. Lesson here: don’t go jogging with Governor Goodhair if you look like a snake or a coyote. Giuliani, you’ve been warned.

What a pansy. When I go jogging, I always carry a TOW missile.

That might be why he’s back down to ten toes, like the rest of us.

My evil stepmother bought a cute miniature daschund puppy named Gus, and because she lives on two acres in a desert setting (outside of Scottsdale) where coyotes roam at night, she built a large cage for him to go outside to relieve himself. More than a few times she would hear Gus barking furiously and looked out where the coyotes were right at the fence, taunting Gus. She was sitting on her back patio and letting Gus run free in the gravel yard, which has a five foot concrete block wall around it. As she watched in horror, a coyote jumped over the wall, grabbed Gus in his jaws, and jumped back over.
She’s 75 and not in the best of health but she vaulted over the wall into the desert and tried to find them, but they has disappeared. A week later a neighbor found Gus with his throat chewed and his neck broken. The Coyotes did not even eat him…this just looked like an act of vengeance…”We got the little bastard!”
Coyotes are really cunning and clever animals, reflected in their images in Indian lore as the trickster.

The one Goodhair shot must have been the omega of the local coyote scene…otherwise, he’d have been waaaay more crafty and tricksy and would have taken Goodhair out by a ninja stalk and quick snap at gub’ner’s Achilles tendon…
Of course “laser-sight” and “hollow point bullets” – srsly Gov’??? Was it threatening you? Or were you pretending it was a Liberal wanting to actually talk to you about your heinously $$$$ monthly rental while the mansion is renovated??? Do you always run unaccompanied? Do you feel threatened by the natural fauna? Are you proud of smiting a creature that is (probably) smarter than you? Or did you just think it was ‘ugly’? Damn, can’t he be hoist on his own petard or something? I’m sick to death of his stupidity and cruelty.

Gee, I hope he doesn’t park his sidearm in his shorts. Imagine that accident. Just saying.
