More "Rick Perry, Unhinged!"

He wants to cut your babies in half with a cutlass. Not an Oldsmobile cutlass. A freaking cutlass!

Look, it pains me, as a Texas Longhorn fan, to go into this crap. I've been pickin on Aggies for the better part of 30 years.

But for the greater good.. Rick Perry is a graduate of Texas A&M University. He was a member of the Corps of Cadets. He was a yell leader, their version of a manly cheerleading guy (bear with me Aggies, correct on the finer points later, and shut up already I got it).

Texas A&M produced thousands of officers, and even more enlisted service men and women. It was and is a military prep college. They have a few traditions, like all military prep colleges, including a photo with a uniform they earned, a sabre and some shiny boots. They shined em themselves, they know how.

These are good things. It's a fine tradition. In WWI, an entire senior class of A&M seniors withdrew from school to fight for our country.

Hell, I work with a ton of Aggies who served, and they're all pretty decent men and women who can take a joke even.

So please forgive me, if this pic, of a young man who graduated from A&M, received a commission and served in the United States Air Force, piloted C-130s, well golly he actually posed with his college Reserve Officer Training Corps regalia, and by the way served the nation honorably in our armed forces.

There's no baby corpse under that sabre. (see what I did there, corpse? hahahaha I kill myself).

Lighten up Francis. It's not the big deal your mainstream media mommy wants to make of it.
