1. WOW! That Governor Perry has been acting strangely lately... |
|
first the HPV vaccine and now this. :crazy:
Of course, he's probably figuring out a way to swindle Texas and this is a slight of hand trick to help him.

5. R's are trying that here, too. |
|
Our D Gov. says "That's a one time fix for a problem that's not one time." She's fighting it.

6. Texas Lottery is way dirty anyway |
|
It's all tied up in Harriet Miers and TANG Judge and I don't remember what all. It's run by some private gambling company, $14 billion is probably dirt cheap for what it could bring in if it didn't have state regulations.
