Well, Lookee Here-"Oops" Perry Is Yucking It Up In Fantasyland

After his 27 minute whimper about California being a nanny state while trying to rustle some jobs for the Lone idjit state, he got this...
"Brown spokesman Evan Westrup took note of the location from which Perry spoke, less than a mile from Disneyland.
“It seems our friend from Texas took a detour to neighboring Fantasyland while in Anaheim today,” Westrup said. “We hope his stay is pleasant. In case you missed it, while Gov. Perry spent his afternoon politicking, Gov. Brown was taking action to bolster the state’s business climate. ... Also, a reminder that California has had 26 consecutive months of job growth.”

'No hat, no cattle and no brains' can take his lil' rodeo on down the road, thank you very much. That chit don't play here.

26 months of job growth, and the unemployment rate in the state is still 8.9%? I think Brown's got a lot more "bolstering" to do.

Texas unemployment rate is 6.4%, by the way...

Most of that growth has been in the public sector.

50 percent without health insurance however.

Much poverty in Texas.....and of course how many of the industries in Texas are using the Walmart model?

Yup, lots more "bolstering" needs to be on the Gov's agenda.

I guess my comment was a bit on the mean side. Sorry, Mike.

After all he's in a bedroom community on the outskirts of Detroit with two Walmarts to choose from.

Interesting recap of the city's recent history ran just yesterday in the News.

Good for the brief space that was afforded the story, though I think they went a bit light on the city's history of political corruption.
