Just a quick note that at 1 pm today, my colleague Brian Sweany and I are going to talk with Krys Boyd on KERA’s Think about Texas Monthly’s August cover package on Rick Perry. You can listen live via KERA’s website, or check the segment’s link later for a podcast version. 

It should be an interesting discussion. After all these years, Perry continues to inspire strong feelings on both sides of the aisle, as evidenced by the email Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson recently sent to the Austin American-Statesman’s Ken Herman: “I lament the fact that our governor could now pass for a West Coast metrosexual and has embarrassed us all with his sartorial change of direction.”
