ok

[Adam]

Why do you loves numbnutzes? 

[Blarg]

He loves the nutz

[Blarg]

Actually you have to like a guy that is willing to kick a DA in the crotch for drunk driving. 3x legal limit deserves a hard slap in the face from the governor to an official of the courts.

The libs hate Perry but it's not clear why. He's really quite successful.

[Adam]

I don't know if he's hate-worthy. He's definitely intellectually challenged. 

[Tank]

there are probably better ways to call out a public official for being three times over the legal limit for being drunk.

A Twitter faux pas.  How uncouth.

Yes, that was quite gauche.

Another Texas Governor in the mold of the last one we sent to Washington.

Because he isn't a lib

"What Perry proved is that he and his camp don’t have the emotional or political maturity to handle a twitter account, let alone a state."
 

Isn't Texas doing well at this time?

Depends on what your measuring. This idea propagated by the repcons that Texas is the shining example of a state in great fiscal health has been proven completely false. It was also ranked dead last in health care. A couple of other stats - 50th in high school graduation rate, 47th in SAT scores, first in amount of carbon emissions, first in hazardous waste produced, last in voter turnout, first in percentage of people without health insurance, second in percentage of uninsured kids, and 49th in the nation for pregnant women receiving prenatal care.

Not as great as they make it seem.

Right, or read the end notes. Of which there are 11 pages. They cited their sources pretty well.

Economy of Texas:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Texas

 

The economy of Texas is one of the largest and most rapidly growing economies in the United States. As of 2013, Texas is home to six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500 list and 51 overall, (third most after New York and California).^[10] In 2012, Texas grossed more than $264.7 billion a year in exports—more than exports of California ($161.9 billion) and New York ($81.4 billion) combined.^[11][12][13] As a sovereign country (in 2012), Texas would be the 14th largest economy in the world by GDP (ahead of South Korea and the Netherlands).^[14]

[HaloMagic]

It certainly makes a lot of money. Too bad it spends it so unwisely.

Economy size doesn't equal fiscal health. Ask America.
