In case you all didn't know it, our illustrious governor, Rick Perry, has decreed that there is no recession here in Texas. The rest of the country (and world) may be having a serious recession, but we're immune to that in Texas.
For example, Texas just dumped another 23,900 jobs and saw its unemployment rate rise from 8% to 8.3%. Of course, when you add in the people who've given up on finding a job and the people who've taken a part-time job because they can't find full-time work, the real unemployment rate is around 15%. But that has to be an anomaly, because Gov. Goodhair assures us there is no recession.
Thanks guv! Thank you for keeping that nasty old recession out of Texas. I sincerely hope you get what you so richly deserve in the November election.
We need term limits.
