I know I’ve been a bit absent from blogging for a couple of weeks. I needed some time to myself after Debra Medina got ousted from the Texas Governor’s race by Rick “the Slick” Perry in what I consider a crooked vote, but what can you do? There’s always next time; if the USA survives to a “next time” and Rick Perry doesn’t end up President.
But today is St. Patrick’s Day! Make some plans to enjoy some toasts over green beer with your best friends and family and forget about our worries for a day, at least. We all deserve that much. Well, most of us anyway.
Not you, Rick.

From the Texas Observer, written by Bob Moser:
On a Saturday afternoon in Burleson, even the hottest politician in Texas has trouble scoring a table at Babe’s, a popular fried-chicken joint.
Her name is called after 15 minutes huddled around an industrial heater against the frosty, early-February breeze. Then there’s a snag. “Is your whole party here yet?” the young hostess asks sternly. “We can’t seat you until all four are here.”

This is quite possibly the best interview of Debra Medina that I’ve come across. I think it does an excellent job of revealing her character, focus and honesty. From The Texas Tribune:
I’d been hoping to shadow Debra Medina on the campaign trail since well before the first Republican debate. Back then she was a relative unknown, but I thought a profile on an earnest, if extreme, candidate would be fun to write. When the Medina campaign finally gave me a day with Debra, it turned out to be February 11 — right in the middle of her meteoric rise to within two points of U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the polls. Little did I know how momentous the day would be.
At 10 AM on February 11, 2010 Debra Medina appeared as a guest on syndicated talk show host Glenn Beck’s radio program. He proceeded to set her up. The rest is history. So, here we go again. It’s time for me to podcast. Fight fire with fire and all that jazz. Please have a listen.

The governor’s race here in Texas is heating up like never before. Everyone expects a Republican candidate run-off and more than likely Democrats won’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning but I’m including all the current candidates that I am aware of in this poll. Please cast your vote.

Yesterday early afternoon, I posted a comment in rebuttal to the following part of a longer article/op-ed that seemed to be highlighted Letters to the Editor of the Dallas Morning News. I took especial umbrage with the following observation because it was based on a direct fallacy — that Debra Medina was working with unsound math in her economic plan for Texas. My comment, of course, was not published by the moderator, most likely because I clearly pointed out proof of the fallacy. Here then is the particular letter in question, followed by my original and as yet unpublished comment (emphasis added and links intact and YouTube video embedded for easy viewing) :
What I view is important insight from conservative Alex Wallenwein:
Friday, January 22, 2010
(This article was written last night, 01-20-10. The morning of 1-21-10 I received the email reprinted below that proved my point much faster than I expected)
If Scott Brown can do it, Debra Medina (Texas candidate for GOP nomination for governor of Texas) can do it - several times over.
Of course, it is wonderful that Scott was able to beat what’s her name, but after looking at his web site’s “Issues” statement to see what all the buzz is about, I was slightly underwhelmed.
Great news from WFAA.com , Debra Medina’s popularity and chances for greater and much needed Texas and national exposure growing too much to be denied:
DALLAS — Debra Medina — the third candidate running for the GOP nomination for governor along with Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison — is being invited to appear in the statewide televised debate sponsored by Belo TV stations in Texas and The Dallas Morning News.
The debate is set for Friday, January 29.
Until now, Medina had not met the criteria to appear in the debate. However, a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Monday shows a shift among likely Texas GOP voters in her favor. The poll of 831 likely voters found:
I will be attending this today. If you’re close enough to Austin, TX, why not come and join your fellow Texans. Believe me, you won’t be alone:
RALLY - DEMAND GOVERNOR PERRY TO CALL SPECIAL SESSION ON NULLIFICATION
Type: Causes - Protest
Network: Global
Date: Saturday, January 16, 2010
Time: 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: State Capitol Building - South Steps 1100 Congress Ave (at 11th Street) Austin, TX 78701281-8552947
Description:
THIS IS NOT AN EVENT HOSTED BY ANY GROUP! THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION!
I read this morning that Sarah Palin has endorsed Governor Perry for his 2010 re-election bid in Texas. That’s all I need to know: Palin is another insider and more than likely bought and paid for just like Perry is (Perry is a Bilderberg attendee). Other people that you would find shouldering with someone like Palin you already know of — McCain, Bush. These folks all play for the same “team” and I’m sure are not to be trusted.
