The panelette of presidential wannabes may quick turn into the also rans. Here are some recent highlights.

Rick Santorum blames single mothers for the collapse of the economy. His plan? Get them married, turn them into republicans, and save the country.

Herman Cain favors sizzling on the border. Maybe he can sell tickets and pizzas to onlookers, sort of like the Christians and the lions without the roar.

Perry and Mrs. Perry feel ravaged by the press and she sympathizes with the unemployed, because her son was forced to quit his job to work for Good Hair’s campaign. Oh, yes, and Obama made him quit. Something about ethics, I think.

Ms. Bachmann had a rendezvous with the style challenged Donald Trump last night. She refers to him as a job creator, which is a stretch, since his claim to fame is firing folks.

Romney has challenges. Rev. Richard Land, the ethics and liberty guy at the Southern Baptist Convention, is predicting that the mainstream media will suddenly start putting up a lot of documentary like stories about Mormonism in an effort to derail his quest. Land said on the Laura Ingraham show that Joseph Smith is like Mohammad and that the Book of Mormon is like the Koran. Hey, with friends like Land, who need enemies in the mainstream media?
