how about our beloved governor?
well, most people don't know, the Governor of Texas have less powers and responsibilities than his Lieutenant Governor and the State budget comptroller. Rick Perry is more like emperor of Japan than any thing else.
He was more powerful back then when he was the agriculture commissioner of Texas, IMHO.
The best way to describe Rick is... a Republican. Which most of us Texans are, And he is an Aggie.
But, most Texans will get more interested in him, if he makes through the Republican Primary.
Ehhh... how about not... haha!
I swear every one thinks we Texans are bunch of colt .45 shooting, fried butter eating, horse riding cowboys.
SMH...

For my year we had to take a general education paper in second year - Which me and some of my friends conveniently chose an astronomy course. There were professional development papers and I think after my year a paper on technical communications.
First year pd paper were some mambo-jumbos. 3rd year was a management paper with some accounting budgeting/economics mix. 4th year pd we went into stuff like sustainability, the resource management act and treaty of Waitangi which I feel is more applicable to civil students.

I live in Dallas, so... how bout them Cowboys?
LOL...sorry partner, I'm a Houston Texans fan! Although I think the Cowboys and Texans had a pretty good team this year. I like Wade Phillips (new Def. Coord. former Cowboys HC) 3 - 4 defense scheme.

What do you guys think of Rick Perry?
He's lame. He hadn't done Schiet for Texas education what so ever! Yeah he created jobs alright, McDonald's type jobs.

How often do you wearyour cowboy hat and boots and go line dancing and listen to Le Ann Grimes ..... yee haa.?
I've done it only once during the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I'm not a Le Ann "Grimes" fan, more like Kerry Underwood and Taylor Swift type (they're both so gorgeous). NO I DON'T ride a horse to work...LOL! Houston is actually more of a hip hop and rap (3rd coast) type of music. For a more diversity of music in Texas ya have to head out to Austin (about 3 hours drive north west of Houston).

Cool!! I like Dallas alot. I got two cousins living in Dallas and we would go to Dallas couple times a year to visit them.
However, I hate the Cowboys, man (love their cheerleaders though)! My cousins are huge Cowboys fans. I'm a Texans fan! 2:0 baby!!
Also most of my cousins are Longhorns, so on every Thanksgiving day, we would watch the Texas vs. Texas A&M game together and having fun trash-talking to each other. Too bad, A&M is moving to the SEC... The Big 12 is a a lot more fun...

Yes, he used to be my dad's boss (since my dad used to work at TDA) and a fellow Aggie. So I support him.
But 100% agreed on that Texas governors are weak...

I have a love-and-hate thing going on with that show. I love the show because it's a lot of fun. I hate it because I live close to the Reliant Center and the traffic becomes soooo bad during the 2-3 weeks of the show that it would take me almost an hour just to get out onto the innerloop, which normally takes me 5 minutes...
I think Houston has a lot of country and Latino music. Since Hispanics is now the minority majority in Houston, their music is now very popular.
