Sending a message to D.C.

Posted on March 3, 2010 | Comments Off on Sending a message to D.C.

portrait-webBorn a tenant farmer, graduated an Aggie, flew C-130s in the AF, and now headed for an unprecedented third consecutive term as governor (much to the disgust and dismay of liberals everywhere), Rick Perry rides again. Only the Obama-loving legacy media was surprised last night when Perry (friend of the Tea Partiers and Sarah Palin) beat Sen. Hutchinson and Ms. Medina. The Dems nominated a mayor of Houston. Good luck with that. The Dems haven’t won a statewide race since 1994. And Roger Simon likes Rick, too.

Debra vs Goliath

Posted on February 11, 2010 | Comments Off on Debra vs Goliath

JD Allen of Mouth of the Brazos likes her. Indeed, he’s planning to vote for her, though, as usual, he’s conflicted with politics. The former GOP chairwoman turned Tea Partier has shot up in the polls. There’s just one problem. Besides running on Gov. Rick Perry’s platform, she has no campaign money.

UPDATE:  And now, thanks to Glenn Beck, we know why no serious money is backing her. She’s over. Adios, Debra.

Kay Bailey’s “purse boys”

Posted on November 12, 2009 | Comments Off on Kay Bailey’s “purse boys”

Or her J. Crew aides as former Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer relates in his new book Speechless:

"Now I want you to take my purse back to the office," she said.
"Yes, senator," the purse boy responded.
"Take the nail polish out and put it in the refrigerator."
"Yes, senator."
"Take the rest of the makeup out and put that in the refrigerator too."
"Yes, senator."
"Then put the purse by my desk." She said this as though it were her routine speech.

"I felt a little like entering your parents’ bedroom and finding your mother putting on deodorant. It was something you knew happened, but you didn’t really want to think about."

Heh. How would KBH get along as a mere governor of Texas? I imagine Michele Obama, certainly Hilarity Clinton, are worse. But you never know.

* Back when I used to eat sugar with abandon, Necco wafers were my favorites. Just as well I can’t eat them anymore. They’ve turned organic, flavored by such as red beet juice. Sounds dreadful.

* Dick Cheney is backing Kay Bailey Hutchinson for governor. Lordy. While Sarah plumps for Rick Perry. This could be a dustup. What is it about Republicans? Why do they so often choose suicide?

* This weekend I expect to be eating leftover, stale candy corn. A little, anyhow. Might as try a Necco.

* Mr. B., upon learning that his cub scout pack will be picking up trash after his school’s Halloween carnival on Saturday: "That’s the thing about the scouts. There’s the good parts and the bad parts."

* Happy to see this old photo I snatched years ago still draws ’em in. A score or more hits a day, in fact.
