What a Rick Perry Presidency Would Look Like for Women August 17 2011

In the above blog, "What a Rick Perry Presidency Would Look Like for Women", Mean Rachel highlights Perry's ill-conceived plans for a woman contraceptive future.  The authors intended audience is adolescent
minded individuals young and old.  As for a credible source the author is utilizing a blog with links to other site showing information to enhance the illustration of her opinions on the subjects presented.  He plans to create a department to oversee the future of women's contraceptive and that he will put forth abstinence as their leading solution to safe sex.  If it were that easy then we would have no use for all the other contraceptive we have today.  Rachel argues this as well backing it with studies that have shown after completing an abstinence program, the trainee's have more sex than they were having before.  While perry preaches nothing but good things about these programs along with his support of crisis pregnancy centers which are a waste of tax-payer dollars.  I agree with Mean Rachel that contraceptive is a must while experiencing urges or just as a regular thing after those sex crazed days are past.  Abstinence only truly works for people that have no life worth living and too much free-time in they're over protective mothers basement wasting their lives.  Safe sex starts with your choices and ends with your actions.  To belabor the point, Rick Perry is not a visionary by any means, he doesn't really think outside the box, and needs a massive rework of his priorities because his out-dated ideas becoming reality could spell disaster for the entire nation if we don't rid ourselves of him.

@ brailyns post: Use Common Sense, not lobby sense, on Prop 2 Tuesday, October 25, 2011

So I did a little reasearch into the the Texas Water Project and found that Brailyn's blog info is correct that there is too much money for a seemingly incomplete plan.  Wanting to know more about where the rest of that money will be going I found the drafts for the project and read parts A, B, and C.  The Water project is wanting this funding to pay for a few pipelines and the water itself and at no cost to us thanks to a loan from the the TWDB.  That's not right because they want fifty-three billion dollars as a loan from the TWDB plus another twenty-six billion dollars coming from financial assistance programs to perform the project in 2012; this will all be payed back with our tax-payer dollars.  The total quota for this project is two hundred and thirty-one billion which still has yet to be provided.  Also when I read through the draft of the supposed plan, there was no mention of what exactly will be done only elusion to things that had been done in the past.  This plan is more like a history of water disasters and relief in texas coupled with a ton of statistics on water consumption.  That is alot of money and wanting to know where it is going is a valid concern seeing as we are going to be footing a portion of the bill over the next couple years.

TDCJ Will End Final Feasts Before Executions

TDCJ Will End Final Feasts Before Executions

This article targets taxpayers and in specific conservatives because of the way the article is presented to be a waste of funds to carry on a tradition that is abused by prisoners.  The authors credibility can be measured by that of the newspaper itself.  The author her self, Brandi Grissom, herself is very experienced and educated.  The article argues that the long standing tradition of a final meal for death row inmates is not an effective use of funds.  The article talks about a death row inmate that ordered a massive amount of food to eat as his last meal.  After receiving the food,  He barely ate any of his feast that he ordered.  All of the food left over was wasted not that it wasn't already wasted on someone that is going to die.  The death penalty is meant to be a sentence for those that don't deserve to live because what they have done is so extremely horrible and depraved.  When someone that has done something so bad that they get a meal of they're choosing to have and enjoy in they're final hours.  For some it is shown that this last meal is the largest proponent of redemption these few can have but for most of the inmates on death row enjoy the meal to its fullest.  The death penalty plus the last meal were brought about as a tradition for religious reasons has become a mockery of its latter self.  The last meal should not be continued and the prisoners as stated in the article should be served the same food all the other prisoners eat. 

This article about the inefficiency and poor--if not downright horrible--management of our hard earned money going to programs designed to stimulate the economy by creating jobs and shoring up houses to reduce energy usage.  This blog post goes on to say how our money has been misused and misappropriated to a point that each organization has either achieved minuscule results or has been shutdown due to repeated mismanagement of funds and/or accused of fraud.  This inefficiency is mind boggling. The fact that they are about to have their unspent funds reallocated, coupled with the fact that the contractors are doing sub-par work and must return after inspection to correct said work, is costing the state millions. On top of all of these crazy and backward activities, the president wants to request another loan from the general populous in the amount of three-hundred billion dollars, which would add tremendously over time to our current defecit.  This matter is of the utmost importance and needs more attention if we are ever to get our society and economy back on its feet.
