Origin Of Spoon

The darkest chapter of Rick Perry's career

Different regions of America have vastly different standards. Infant mortality in the South and falling longevity for women are acceptable as long as they mean lower taxes for the wealthy. An occasional innocent person being executed is an acceptable cost for the smug, righteous conservatism that applauds executing retarded folks. Rick Perry should benefit by standing for the Death Penalty regardless of the liberal doubters...

Murdering an innocent man is only the most visible mistake he made in governing Texas.

Keep in mind that the Texas Legislature only sits for TWO WEEKS every TWO YEARS. This is not a recipe for a political dynamo. Perry's political experience is therefore almost nothing.

I guess the pretty hair is what does it for most people. God knows there's nothing under it.

Executing the innocent? Works for them.

More guns in the hands of people who are clearly too bloody stupid to be allowed anything more dangerous than a wooden spoon? Sure, why not, they can shoot other people!

No health care for Americans? Great! More working people will die!

Gut environmental and workplace safety regulation? Crippling injuries and cancer are even more fun - they get to watch people suffer first, then die!

The Republicans are the Party of Death. For everyone who is not them, obviously, and much to many of their ignorant supporters' surprise, that includes a large number of their voters.

Please forgive Governor Perry if he did, indeed, allow the execution of an innocent man. Perhaps Governor Perry knew not what he was doing. We pray, Lord, that you would remove the scales from the eyes of those who would turn their backs on science; and the application of our God given intelligence and the gift of the ability to conduct research and to reason from that research.

We understand, Lord, that this would not be the first time an innocent man has been executed; we pray it might be the last; if Governor Perry did, indeed, allow the execution of an innocent man

We ask, Lord, that you would provide comfort to the Willingham family and grant them the grace to forgive Governor Perry if he did, indeed, allow the execution of an innocent man.

In Jesus’ precious name we pray.

Amen.

For the progressives for whom reading comprehension is novelty: Even Willingham's defenders don't claim he was "innocent". By concocting tales of "bad evidence", they want morons to think he was innocent.

Pancalen Cycles: Andira's Origin-8 Scout29 29" MTB

The frame is a steel Origin-8 Scout 29 with Origin-8 Black Ops 29 rigid carbon fork. Acclaimed as the first Scout ever to land in the Indonesian soil, it was not a big problem for Andira to obtain them since Sumvelo carries most of the Origin-8 stuffs. Although not qualified as a true lightweight frameset, the Scout delivers perfect balance between performance and value. Well of course the wheels are built by yours truly. A pair of silver Velocity Blunts supplied by Sumvelo, laced in three-cross pattern to Novatec D711SB front hub and DMR Bikes disc-ready singlespeed rear hub via black electrodeposited Richman double butted spokes and brass nipples. The meaty WTB ExiWolf 29 x 2,3 tires are balanced compromise between weight, traction, and riding comfort. It’s better to have fat tires if your bike have no suspension at all. To cope with the large-sized wheels, wider handlebars helps a lot. We go with Kore Torsion downhill flatbar, trimmed down to 720mm. We chose flatbar over riser to give the cockpit a lower stance. One thing to be noticed on this frameset is even though we slammed the 80mm Amoeba Borla stem all the way to the Token cartridge bearing headset and inverted them, we still haven’t managed to get the cockpit to be lower than the saddle. Tektro carbon brakelevers complements the carbon fork, while ODI Crosstrainer grips finished the setup. Nope, this is not Charge Spoon saddle. This is a generic Velo saddle, reupholstered in Spoon design (besides, that’s what you’ll do if the only saddle remained on your LBS’s stock that suits your design is colored pink). We chose red stitching to match red details on the frame, and the white details complements the white flatbar and front hub. The saddle rest on an extra lengthy 400mm BBB seatpost. These Avid BB-7 calipers are some of the previously-owned parts on this bike, along with the headset and the grips. Worn-out pads are replaced by a pair of new Gatorbrake sintered pads. Since they didn’t came with rotors, it’s kind of luck when we stumble upon a pair of second-hand Gatorbrake waved rotors on a good condition with a bargain price on a local bike shop. The track ends and long-slotted rear caliper mount on the Scout frame keep things simple, although this means you have to adjust the caliper position manually everytime you adjust the chain tension.
