Very true. Nobody is going to "grind into dust" any opponent until the economy is fixed and we can all make good with each other for a couple of years.

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has surpassed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in a recent Iowa poll that was conducted by TheIowaRepublican.com. With Bachmann now leading in Iowa, Romney has fallen to second place, but he is still well ahead of third place finisher Tim Pawlenty, who has overtaken Herman Cain my a miniscule margin.
Bachmann received support from 25 percent of likely Iowa caucus goers in the poll, while Romney is backed by 21 percent. The poll also shows signs of growth for former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who now stands in third place in statistical tie with Herman Cain at just under nine percent. Ron Paul finished with six percent, Newt Gingrich with four percent, Rick Santorum with two percent, and Jon Huntsman rounded out the field with one percent."

We just had a BIG weekend. Michelle won Iowa; Paul came in a close second; TPaw lost badly and dropped out and the BIGGEST news: Rick Perry finally declared he is running.
For those of you not from Texas, be aware Perry is an Aggie and there will likely be a lot of Aggie jokes. As a service to ETrs, here are some:
Q: Why did the aggie get fired from the M&M factory??
A: He kept on throwing out the W's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What do you call an aggie's skeleton in a closet?
A: The winner of a Hide and Go Seek game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An aggie and a Longhorn were sentenced to the electric chair for a murder. The police told the Longhorn that if
nothing happened he was free to go. He asked the Longhorn if he had any last words and the Longhorn said no so
he pushed the button. Nothing happened so he was free to go. Then the aggie got into the chair and they told him if
nothing happened then he was free to go. So they asked him if he had any last words and he said "it might help if you
plug in the chair!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An Aggie and 2 Longhorns are running away from the police. They go into the woods to hide, so they climb into three
different trees. The cops go into woods they look up into the trees they yell up into the first Longhorn's tree and yell
"Is anyone up there?" The First Longhorn yells " MEOW MEOOOW." The cop yells into the second Longhorn's tree
and the Longhorn yells"who whoo whoooo". Then the cop yells int the Aggie's tree. the Aggie yells"Moo moo
moooo"!!!!

"Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject."

An Aggie student is doing an experiment with a frog. He wants to see how far the frog jumps each time he cuts off a
leg. The Aggie student cuts off one of the frogs legs and says, "Jump froggy." The frog jumps. He records in is
notebook, froggy with three legs jumps thirty feet. Then he cuts off a second leg and says, "Jump froggy." He writes
down in his notebook, froggy with two legs jumps twenty feet. Then he cuts off its third leg and says, "Jump froggy." He
writes down in his notebook, froggy with one leg jumps ten feet. Then he cuts off its last leg and says, "Jump froggy."
The frog just sits there. The Aggie says again, "Jump froggy!" But the frog just sits there. Finally, he writes in his
notebook, froggy with no legs can't hear.

You know what a UT grad calls an A&M grad after four years?
Boss.
Boss.
I once worked for a guy (Aggie) who said that was his favorite.
