Perry preaches, hair looks great!

Take it from us, there's nothing that reminds you more of your own aged mortality than moving. That "snap, crackle, and pop" you hear this morning isn't your Rice Krispies, it's our joints and what's left of our cartilage.

Anyway, many happy greetings from our new home here in South Central Texas (give it up for "The S.A."! )

Now back to business...it seems that Gov. Rick Perry also traveled to San Antonio this weekend and spoke at the New Life Christian Center about religion and politics and why the two nary should meet.

The church - which, according to the SA Express-News, blends both Jewish and Christian worship - was pleased with what the governor had to say. They were also quite impressed with how good his hair looked while wearing a yarmulke.

In his sermon speech, Perry said he didn't think the government should tell us what church to attend:

“You know, they're telling us which cars to buy and which light bulbs to use now. But they ought not be telling us whether we can go to Baptist, Methodist, whichever one.”

And you know, he's right...though we must have missed the notorious "Transportation and Interior Lighting Bill" he referenced. How dare the government force us to drive what they demand AND keep hard working Americans from installing track lighting in their dens?! Stupid government.

That's irrelevant though, because his main point is that politics shouldn't mess with one's freedom of religion...and he chose to make this point at a church. And he's a politician.

So, according to what he's saying, he should excuse himself from the New Life Christian Center so as not to taint our freedom of religion UNLESS campaigning against Kay Bailey Hutchison for the conservative Christian vote takes precedence. Then, by all means, leaping to the pulpit is in no way hypocritical.
