Perry's Texas Miracle?: Join the Live Chat
Texas governor Rick Perry is expected to announce his bid for the White House tomorrow. His supporters call his economic policies the Texas miracle, but they fail to mention the billions of dollars in federal money used to support it. We're Keeping Them Honest. Plus, in Crime and Punishment, the audio tapes used to convict polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs of sexual assault of a child. They brought many of the jurors to tears. We'll play some of it for you tonight and talk with two former member of Jeffs' sect.

Anderson,
Have a great/good night and sleep at home. Great weekend! See you on Monday night!!! Just a plenty sleep and rest at home!
Looks like a cute–but strange–Ridiculist, Anderson.
The cat's ears are cuter than yours, Anderson. Very close match, though. Very cute – both of you.
doppleganger – love that phrase – y'all both have really cute ears!! but i bet the cat doesn't shave...
I thought Isha would say that the driver came back to return the pump.....! Oh my. Did a man or a woman do that?
Something needs to be worked out politically for this region or starvation and want will be a way of life for them. I wish the more affluent middle-east would do something more.
I hope not Rebels are not suppose block all food and water to bring to Somalia!!!!!!! Yikes!
Well I for one would be happy to deploy there and protect those people. The rebels have a history with the Marines and would probably think twice.
Thanks Janis,I am very proud of Hilary Clinton and her actions,I will check out that site.
I wanted to say those are terrible circumstances.....just too terrible for words.
Don't be silly Anderson, your ears are nowhere near that big. But maybe just around the eyes.
Sick tapes–and teaching.
He was the prophet, the single conduit for the word of God in his church. No one questioned the word of God via Jeffs. Being on the outside looking in – it's ludicrous and unbelievable, but think about being raised on the inside and knowing nothing else. That's what's so scary about these 'prophet-driven" churches that separate themselves from society. Creepy for women and they don't even know it.
i wonder if jeffs' conviction will convince any of the followers that what jeffs preaches might not be such a good thing after all. there will still be followers, but cult followings like that are grown over time and need to be disassembled over time. when we hear the phrase "break the cycle" it is often generational
That is terrible circumstances.
Bloggers,
I agree all of you....... Creepy guy I have heard the tape!!!!!! So disgusting to me!!!!!!!!!! I don't like what Warren Jeffs said. 😦
just to hear his creepy voice,it's disgusting,perverted and sick.What really bothers me is what about all those other children,who still live on that compound,they are still in danger and old men are doing exactly what jeffs did,this is all so disturbing .why have this government not shut the whole thing down this is not a church this is a dangerous cult of child abuse and to add insult to injury these people are using our tax dollars collecting welfare and food stamps,just completely disturbing.
Well Said Gretchen. (sorry is spelled your name wrong in my last post to you).
