Crackpot Award goes to — Ross Perot

Former presidential contender and billionaire Ross Perot is worried that America is a sitting duck for an unnamed foreign invader. In an interview for his new autobiography, Perot said the nation's weak economy has left us open for a hostile takeover—and neither presidential candidate is the man to save the country.
Citing an impending fiscal cliff, Perot warned of disaster. "If we are that weak, just think of who wants to come here first and take us over," the former CEO of info-tech company Perot Systems told USA Today on Monday.
"The last thing I ever want to see is our country taken over because we're so financially weak, we can't do anything," Perot says...
...he thinks that even the fresh voices in the populist, small-government tea party movement aren't focusing on the real doomsday issue: the deficit.

I dont know about Texas for sure Tom, but someone needs to look into whatever well here in Maryland this guy is drinking from:

Here's your fellow USN veteran Bob Woodward out with his latest contribution to US political discourse:

"The financial house of the U.S. government is not in order," says the author of the book "The Price of Politics," which came out earlier this month. "There is a value in any business or enterprise or sport in running scared. No one is fearful enough."

I guess being the point man in the media in an effort to force into exile the only President in US history to repudiate gold completely and lead western civilization back to it's true tradition of a non-convertible state currency wasnt enough for him as a "contribution" to society...

Sounds like Perot hasn't changed at all. He was just as buggy in 1992 when he received 19% of the popular vote. And that was after "quitting."

Matt,
I think Woodward has always been spooked up. Whenever he publishes something, I'm thinking psyop.

Texas makes use of underground water and the geology is rich in lithium. A number of studies in recent years have found different social/antisocial behavior among Texans based on the level of lithium in the water they drink. So you might be on to something here! It isn't just another liberal paranoia about crazy republicans!

" It isn't just another liberal paranoia about crazy republicans!"

Yeah, but it's lithium. Shouldn't Texans be docile and laid-back instead of hopped-up and crazy? They're just too nuts for lithium to help them.

The docile ones are the liberals and they don't care much to fight back in Texas apparently.

This makes me think we must have lithium here in Florida too. A significant majority of Democrats but the state legislature sports a veto-proof majority of Republicans.
