Notes

As he can usually be counted on to do, Perry named an old crony to the CPRIT oversight board. The new appointee is Gerald Geistweidt, a former Republican legislator who goes way back with Perry to 1987, when they were among the budget-cutting “pit bulls” on the House Appropriations committee. Geistweidt can be counted upon to protect Perry’s interests. Having said that, the next question that should be asked is when an investigation of CPRIT will be launched to determine what happened to the $3 billion that funded the Cancer Institute.

Two little questions:
* And you expected something better? and
* Will it count toward legislative retirement for Gerald? (That is always of interest when former members are appointed to something.)

  Books, Perry is 11-0 in TX elections for a reason: folks HATE him because he beats them at their own game and he also knows how to connect to Texans.

It’s all about grifting the rubes with Perry.

  You know full well that Abbott will likely continue Perry’s policies once he says “So Help Me God” on January 20, 2015.

One of his other appointees — Mr. Angelou — makes his living pitching incentive deals to the State of Texas and local governments, pursuing Perry-controlled funds. If you expect “oversight” from this gentleman, you’ll likely be disappointed.

  Texan, folks seem to think Abbott would be a breath of fresh air once he moves into the TX Governor’s Mansion on January 20, 2015, but sooner or later, these same folks are going to be super-disappointed when Abbott continues a majority of Perry’s policies: due to half of Perry’s staffers now working for Abbott.
  In other words: Abbott IS Perry’s 4th term.

The problem is Perry or cronies. The problem is a government agency handing out huge sums of taxpayer dollars. The entire enterprise should be shut down, it should have never been created.
John Bernard Books

I’ve decided to stop being nice to the low information posters here. I choose John Bernard Books because of his signature line in the “Shootist”.

“John Bernard Books: I won’t be wronged. I won’t be insulted. I won’t be laid a-hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”
Apparently that was too subtle for the low information posters here to grasp.
If you low information posters insist on being azzholes I will treat you like one. If you call me a racist I will respond by calling you a Nazi or a pedophile.

  I think the last line of the movie the Professionals is a more accurate description of you.

  “I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”
  
  Considering the amount of bullshit you sling and instigate on here you’ve already rendered this statement false. Civility is a foreign concept to the Tea Party and yourself.
