Obviously, the Secessionist doesn’t understand that if the federal government helps Texas now, there would be no incentive for other states to avoid wildfires.

With more than 60 new wildfires raging across the state, including one that burned more than 210 acres in Stone Oak, Gov. Rick Perry left the presidential campaign trail Monday in South Carolina to address the public and organize requests for more federal aid.

More than 1,000 homes have been destroyed by the fires, more than all other fires this year combined have destroyed, officials said.

More federal aid? Can’t Texas take care of itself?

Pretty easy to bash teh gubmint — until you need it.

1. I don't want to actually read his silly book...

This is probably all we need to know about it:

2. He should consult Barbara Bush on how to handle these displaced people

(if they are poor...or Black...or Democrats)

3. Why not call Cantor and schedule some budget cuts to pay for this?

Here is a great chance for Perry to get a leg up on secession.
