Wednesday night’s presidential debate debacle left many Republicans wondering if Rick Perry had totally lost his marbles. As one top donor told Aaron Blake, “Perry campaign is over. Time for him to go home and refocus on being Governor of Texas.” Perry thinks, at least publicly, that he can make things better by going on a media blitz. But this promotion that just landed in our inbox, from Marbles, “the brain store,” can’t be a good sign:

Brain Games, the site helpfully notes, is “a great choice for those who want a mental workout that’s fun and challenging at the same time.” The cost? You guessed it: $9.99.
