“Which begs the question, why could the governor not make it as well?”

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Much ado about nothing.

My prayers and concerns have been with our fellow citizens who are in harm's way, those who have suffered losses and the firefighters.

Saw this awhile ago. Prayers for this Constable’s family, and loved ones:
Travis County Constable Cpl. Kevin Aigner died on duty Saturday after having trouble breathing. He was 38.

Precinct 2 Constable Adan Ballesteros said Aigner was helping to guard homes damaged in the Steiner Ranch wildfire.

He collapsed and was taken via STAR Flight to Seton Medical Center. He died after leaving the scene, Ballesteros said.

-—Hot weather, poor air quality, undiagnosed asthma?-—
Really sad.

Not sure why the Soros funded Texas Tribune has been so popular on here in recent weeks.

Well, they hate Perry.

As do some FReepers. ;-)

(I am not one of them.)

I wouldn’t know. I’ve posted one thread in years, and the last certainly wasn’t ‘Soros-funded.”

But news is news, regardless of where it’s coming from.

Glad to know you don’t hate Perry. That makes us agree on at least one thing.

Texas Tribune = Soros = Wait for another report from anybody else.

Having people wait in those temps isn’t a smart thing, if there isn’t adequate services available.

I like Perry.

I like Palin, Bachmann and Cain as well.

I feel like Perry has the best chance of beating Obama and that's important.

This could change, but that's how I see it for now.

I challenge any gov to deal with the circumstances that Texas is dealing with right now.

Just what we need, another out of touch President.

makes no sense at all. Unless you are living in the age of Obama.

I wouldn’t know. But what is reported is actually a fact. There are no reasons given as to the cause of a no show. I make no editorials as to it, except to say that I find it odd. It is newsworthy, regardless of the source; this is a man who is running for office and his actions, present and past, need to be looked at for how he responds to various events. Just as must be done for everyone running.

thanks, that’s better, but it’s Austin.

Perry’s not going to get a break from most media, Austin in particular, Houston Chronicle, Dallas, pretty much the same, hippie rags barely beat them out. Texas Monthly is another very lib source.

The large cities are like media everywhere, you have to consider it as a major outlet at least, but a good policy would be to always ignore the Texas Tribune in all cases.
