I love Texas. Looks like the Lone Star State will emulate Arizona. Wonder how this law would fly in California?? BTW, check out the AP's misleading headline.. news.yahoo.com Texas lawmaker to introduce anti-immigration bill AUSTIN, Texas – A Texas lawmaker says she plans to push for a law similar to Arizona's get-tough immigration measure. San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle report Wednesday that Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball says she will introduce the measure in the January legislative session. The new Arizona law would require local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status — and make it a crime for immigrants to lack registration documents. Riddle says if the federal government did its job "Arizona wouldn't have to take this action, and neither would Texas." Democrats say such legislation is misguided and predict it will hurt the GOP politically. Edit: This whole article is poorly written, IMO..

I think I want to move to Texas. It is now staring dead at me. Either me or the dog are in imminent danger. I did the appropriate thing and sent it to where coyotes go," he said. Perry's security detail was not required to file a report about the governor discharging a weapon, said Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange. "People shoot coyotes all the time, snakes all the time," Mange said. "We don't write reports."

I can't see Pawlenty doing that. I can see Doyle running away screaming like a little girl.

Perry said he will carry his .380 Ruger — loaded with hollow-point bullets — when jogging on trails because he is afraid of snakes. He'd also seen coyotes in the undeveloped area. Hollow point is good against coyotes, but not so good for snakes. Hard to hit a snake with a regular bullet. For that you need shot shell cartridges, which are made for handguns. Other than that, the Gov sounds like a sensible fellow... :)
