Governor Rick Perry: Texas is ‘a Land of Opportunity’ Unless You’re Gay and Want to Marry Someone in the audience wanted to know if the governor of Texas wants to be the next president of the United States. “No,” Perry said. “I have no intention to go to Washington, D.C., except maybe to go to a museum, like the Smithsonian.” “There is still a land of opportunity, friends — it’s called Texas,” Perry said. “We’re creating more jobs than any other state in the nation. … Would you rather live in a state like this, or in a state where a man can marry a man?”
My favorite Emmys 2010 Top Momenthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBEp7XawX7k&feature=player_embedded#! Can you believe Glen Beck now?American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer ripped Glenn Beck a new a-hole (so to speak) for his recent statements in support of same-sex marriage, accusing Beck of siding with “people who want to use the anus for sex.” It’s not too late to issue a mea culpa and come back into the light and be a vigorous advocate once again for the truth about marriage and the family. You have done a noble thing in calling this country back to God through your “Divine Destiny” evening at the Kennedy Center and your “Restoring Honor” event at the Lincoln Memorial.You have done a noble thing on your radio and television programs by repeatedly calling us back to our founding history and to our foundational values as a country.But Glenn, our “Divine Destiny” as a nation does not include societal approval for people who want to use the anus for sex. The “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” don’t endorse such behavior. And neither should you. What an idiot!
AND HERE IS WHAT HE SAID, AND I QUOTE:
Glenn Beck says Gay Marriage is Not a Threat to America Bill O’Reilly asked Glenn Beck about threats to the country, and asked him his thoughts on gay marriage.
Said Beck: “Honestly, I think we have bigger fish to fry. Umm… yes there are bigger fish, but Marriage Equality is extremely important to many of our citizens.
You can argue about abortion or gay marriage or whatever all you want. The country is burning down…I don’t think marriage, that the government actually has anything to do with…that is a religious right…I believe that Thomas Jefferson said, ‘If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket, what difference is it to me?’” If the country is burning down, who started the fire? You know exactly who did Mr. Beck.

PERSONAL
My two younger boys headed back to school yesterday. They are both in the 10th grade. Can you believe my youngest are that old? I can’t.Do you like these 90+ degree days? No one has been in our pool for a month. I mentioned to Ed that he should close it for the season. It is a little strange even considering it when it is so hot.
