The GOP Presidential field gets a new seeker- Here comes the Judge
Roy Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice who lost his job after erecting a monument of the Ten Commandments outside the state's courthouse, plans to announce in mid-April that he is setting up a presidential exploratory committee, an aide told CBS News.

The aide, Zachery Michael, said Moore's platform will be focused on repealing the health care overhaul law, replacing the progressive income tax with a flat tax and bringing "commonsense solutions" on immigration and border control.

Michael said Moore is entering the fray because "we're just seeing the same type of politicians run for president." He said Moore is someone "who can connect with over 300 million Americans across the country, which is something we've been lacking with today's leaders across society."

Roy Moore. You may remember Moore from such works as What's Wrong With Legislating From The Bench?, The Separation of Church And State Can Kiss My Butt, and, Oh No! I've Been Fired. (See Idiots passim.) Moore is currently running for governor in Alabama and part of his platform includes opposition to an animal-tracking system which would help identify potential cases of BSE, otherwise known as Mad Cow Disease. Yes, you read that right - he's opposed to it. So of course the recent discovery of a BSE-infected cow in Alabama has Moore reaching for his tinfoil hat.

"It's a strange coincidence that we have a case of mad cow disease at the same time the Senate is debating this bill," Moore said .

1. The Ship of Fools is almost filled to capacity,
but there's always room for the likes of Roy Moore.

2. The Freak Show tent will need an addition soon
Perhaps this is all about making it so goofball that Jebbie will relent and make them all happy again:)

4. Too bad
Osama bin Laden is dead. He would have brought some good ideas to the GOP tent. Moore though is the Mullah Omar of America.
