Another Hallmark Moment for Humanty
Move over Lynndie England. Step aside Michael Vick. Your title as undisputed champions of the sick and sadistic has been wrested from you:
Terrified residents at a Corpus Christi, Texas, state school for the mentally disabled were forced to be part of a brutal "fight club" operated by night shift employees, who made videos of the sessions with their cell phones.
According to some Texas legislators, the door to this kind of horrendous abuse was opened after Rick "I Don't Need Your Stinkin' Federal Dollars" Perry cut back funding for health and human services a few years ago.
Perry was "too busy" to answer questions about the videotaped abuse.

I saw this story on the news last night and was shocked. It's pathetic how our country always seems to find money for the military or tax cuts for the rich at the expense of our most vulnerable citizens.
How men like Perry sleep at night is beyond me. Oh, wait. They'd have to have empathy in order to care, and since they think empathy is something to laugh about that explains everything. Vulnerable people are a big frickin' joke to them.

And Texans thought Bush was the 'be all and end all of' of bad governors.

Shocked is right, Kathy. I'd have thought that by now, I'd pretty much seen it all, and nothing that one so-called human being could do to another was likely to shock me. But this did shock me. I can't even imagine the moral plane these bastards are operating on.
Kvatch, you've got to love Perry. Here's a guy who's planting sugar plums of secession in the heads of the rabble, yet you know goddamn well he's itching to run for president.

...and ironically, if secession were ever to happen, Perry would become infamous as the man who brought the income tax to Texas.
