I am happy to hear he is considering run for Gov. I would not vote another Dem to the Senate. Kay Bailey needs to stay where she is and Rick Perry needs to retire along with Shelia Jackson Lee.

Bill Graves

Bill Graves I've never seen the Quihi dance hall in the sunlight. But I've seen it glowing in the night on a number of occasions. My better-half and I have floated on the smooth boards of the dance floor doing the Two Step and Cotton Eye Joe--and that's no bull****.

Evone Jungmann Please take your Texas Dance Hall saga one step further and give us some articles about the wonderful Texas Music that is played in those wonderful old halls. Dance music that polished those hard woods to a snooth surface. Bob Wills, Milton Brown, Johnny Bush, Jody Nix, Billy Mata, Bobby Flores, to name a few. Bob W...ills and Milton Brown grew that wonderful dance genre right here in our State.

Texas Monthly And here's what he thinks of Kay's. (Answer: not much)

Hutchison is shown sitting in a living room, or perhaps a hotel suite. She is wearing a white blouse with a dark vest, brown or perhaps purple. A lamp is lit on a desk behind her left shoulder. In the foreground is a built-in segment of a bookcase. A red sofa is in the background off to the left.

Texas Monthly Here's what Burka thinks of Perry's first ad (9 out of 10??).

www.texasmonthly.com
It opens with an angled shot looking upward at the U.S. Capitol dome, through trees. Over it is superimposed a red line, as if to suggest a graph of an economic indicator, and general direction is down. ...

Democrats haven’t won a statewide race since 1994, so why does this middle-aged guy with a bald head and big ears think he's the fresh face of the party? Because outgoing Houston mayor Bill White ...

"this middle-aged guy with a bald head and big ears" Sexist much? I doubt that the magazine would have referred to Kay Bailey Hutchison, for example, purely in terms of her imperfections of appearance...

What has Rick Perry and his record-setting time in office taught me? Texas needs term limits to curb the power of the governor’s office.

Rick Perry has shown to be the best gov money can buy from tollk roads to HPV vaccine mandate. We need Medina to boot the bufffon out Debra Medina is the real conservative choice. I think we need to send Gov Ken and Senator Barbie back to Mattel

Whoa, wasn't it just a few years ago that the libs were swearing that Governor of Texas was a "weak office" suitable only for no-talents (excepting of course the sainted Ann Richards).

As the most powerful jurist in Galveston, Judge Samuel Kent intimidated everyone: the lawyers who argued cases before him, the defendants and plaintiffs who appeared in his courtroom—and the female courthouse employees he groped, kissed, and forced himself on when no one was looking. ...
