After, let’s say, weeks of campaigning, Texas politician Rick Perry (sp?) has apparently dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Few people remember, but this comes almost four years after another “Rick Perry” — a fellow Texan, no less — also dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination. Coincidence?

Perry ran out of money this month, leaving political observers stunned at the news that, at some point, people had donated money to Rick Perry.

I had a third joke about Perry, but I forgot it.
