"There's one born every minute" according to TX Governor Rick Perry

It worked for PT Barnum, and Texas Governor Rick Perry is hoping it will work for him, too.  Specifically, he's been the driving force behind a Christian revival scheduled for Houston's Reliant Stadium in August.  This is the same Rick Perry who DEFINITELY WILL NOT run for president....oh, wait, probably won't run for president....OK, he'll now consider running for president.  


I've never seen a more blatant, shameless, fishing-for-votes ploy. If he can pack the place and get 'em to crying like babies, then he'll be the darling of the evangelical right.  And he'll ride that pony all the way to the primaries next spring.  


Lemme fill you in on Governor Rick Perry:  He's a SNAKE!  He'll kiss your baby, steal your wallet, and feel up your wife at the same time, all while smiling and telling you what you want to hear.  He's been governor for the past 11 years, with 4 more on the way, only because Texas is a heavily Republican state.  Heck, that Weiner fella from NY could be elected governor of Texas if he'd put a "R" beside his name.


Now I'm all for Christians.  I are one.  But I wouldn't go to that revival for fear of being struck by lightning.  Or having my wife felt up.  (He's already picked my pocket.)  


Trust me...find someone else to vote for.

Watch your step.....

This past weekend I suggested K and I take a hike...literally. It's a several hour drive to a real wildlife refuge anywhere near us, so we went online looking for something....anything....closer to home. Lo and behold we found that our city has a 200 acre nature preserve just 3 miles from where we live. WHO KNEW?

It was a very civilized hike, but still pleasant. The only wildlife we saw were one lizard and this CopperRattlerMoccasin:

Actually I'm not sure what it was, but I don't think it was a pit viper as the head wasn't the right shape. He was in a dried-up creek bed, no doubt out for a casual stroll (slither?) on a warm sunny day just like we were. "Live and let live", as they say.
