Prayer Time With Perry

I was cleaning my .380 laser-sighted Ruger yesterday and it occurred to me–I have a license to carry a concealed handgun. I need a defining moment in the debate tonight, and to suddenly pull out my pistol would convey the appearance of a decisive leader, someone ready and capable of dealing with any contingency. They’d all probably scatter or jump off the stage. Mitt would prob’ly hide behind Michele, who would surely also be armed. It would be especially hard to get a bead on that wiry Ron Paul. You never know which way a Libertarian is gonna jump. On second thought, maybe  I’ll just leave the Ruger at home. I HAVE been practicing my decisive hand gestures.
