Texa Gov. Rick Perry begs for more federal aid, asks state residents to pray
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/21/us-texas-wildfires-idUSTRE73K7WY20110421

<snip>
exas Governor Rick Perry called on Texans to pray for rain as cooler temperatures on Thursday helped firefighters contain wildfires that have charred more than 1.5 million acres across the state.

Perry, a Republican, sought increased federal help in combating the blazes last weekend and urged Texans to ask the same from a higher power over the Easter holiday weekend.

Hmmmm, guessing you're pretty glad you have the feds to call on now, aren't ya?

8. Yeah, they don't need no federal government. They be the great independent land of Texas.
I feel for the people, I do, but c'mon. Fuck off with your double faced hypocritical political posturing.
