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.”
A bombshell from Alex Jones’ PrisonPlanet.com:
A prominent insider has told Infowars that Texas Governor Rick Perry and other establishment neo-cons have decided to deliberately target grass roots constitutionalists with dirty tricks campaigns in an effort to derail and hijack the growing liberty movement whose influence is threatening to blow the Texas gubernatorial race wide open.
Our office was contacted by a national personality, a household name, who told us that they were in a green room at a national public event a few weeks ago with Rick Perry. The individual was shocked when Perry said directly that there were three people who ‘got under his skin’ and who ‘had to be dealt with’ immediately.

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.

Alarming news of more brain-washing, this time through comic books and a modern, mythical patriotic icon, from Publius Forum:
Marvel Comic’s Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man. Sadly, this muscle bound hero that took on the whole Nazi army during WWII seems to be afraid of those American people who’ve joined the Tea Party movement. Not only is Cappy quaking in his little red booties, but he’s sure that the Tea Party folks are dangerous racists, too.

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.

Obama dropped every single “feel good” cliché he could safely get away with last night in his first and last State of the Union address. He managed to deftly avoid most of his own campaign quips while near the end pandering to minority interests and telling us that the borders would be protected. He managed to show some verve and some emotion at times. He even had much of his speech memorized. All-in-all he did a good job under the immense pressure of a failed presidency on his back, but I would expect no less from such an obvious tool of destruction, for that is what I consider Barrack Hussein Obama to be.
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) :
Incredibly detailed article with statistics to support conclusions about our grim future at the rate we are crumbling, fromStewart Dougherty:
More bad news as interpreted for us at Sustainable Food | Change.org:
Our farming policies in this country are as dysfunctional as our health care system. Say “farm subsidies” and everyone — Democrat, Republican, independent — will shake his or her head in disgust.
Look a bit lower — at the waistline — and you’ll get the same story.
How did our policies come to be so laughably bad? It’s a complicated question, to be sure, but here’s one clear factor: Rural states are over-represented in the Senate, where Minnesota has as many votes as California. And agribusinesses give heavily to their Senators and other elected officials.
What I view is important insight from conservative Alex Wallenwein:

(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.
