Gov, Good Hair was for secession a few years ago but now he's against it. when TARP was enacted he puffed out his chest & bellowed "we don't want that socialist money! by God, we'll SECEDE! ... guess what he did next? he quietly took a shit load of it & threw it at our out of control state budget who Gov. Ann Richards [D] handed off to Dubyah well in the black [sound familiar?] & Perry doubled down on it. apparently he's realized that he [we] need Washington, things like record drouth & wildfires will humble even the most arrogant of politicians. just ask Chris Christie,
