Governor of Texas goes jogging, saves puppy from coyote using laser-guided pistol.

I don't know why this is NEWS (oh, wait, Huffington Post: nothing but wall to wall crazy people. ANYTHING might be "news", there) but damn if it's not a hilarious image.

Perry, in re: coyotes: "They're very wily creatures."

I hope that was intentional.

Holy shit, they have laser-guided pistol rounds now? (ITYM laser-sighted.)

*click*

Yup, you mean laser-sighted.

First, coyotes don't live or travel in packs. Second, they're not going to attack a person, or a dog right next to a person. Third, it sounds like he's basically saying he saw this coyote, and it had a look in it's eye like it was going to attack... in other words, it didn't do ANYTHING. And did not deserve to be shot by a loony politician jogging with a laser-sighted gun.

I really wish Huffington Post would give up writing the odd interesting or insightful piece, so reasonable people would stop linking to them. Then I could properly ignore it and not be subject to the leakage of woo* into my news.
