It would seem that the State of Texas is the midst of a drought. Some parts of the state haven't received significant rain in almost three months. So Governor Rick Perry has decided to take action with the following bill:

NOW, THEREFORE, I Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hearby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life.

Good luck with that.

This photo was apparently part of an email sent out by the Orange County republican party tea baggers amongst it's members. It has caused a bit of a stir.

Be afraid of these people. Very very afraid.

Put a "Military Police" placard below the windshield and a red light on either side of the windshield and this would be the police car I drove for about 32 months while in the army. Good ol' Ft. Hood, Texas!!!

Did I mention that it rains a lot in Texas? I remember getting 10" of rain in 12 hours once. Did I mention that those canvas tops leak a lot??
