Texas secessonist Rethuglican and future Just For Men spokesman Gov. Rick "Hair" Perry loves to trumpet his administration's aversion to gummint regulations and taxes. When the West, Texas fertilizer plant blew up, killing 14 and injuring scores more, Gov. Hair seemed to be at a loss to explain how his brand of small gummint squared with public safety and disaster-avoidance through sensible regulation and oversight. Maybe we should let this nimrod self-secede.
