Reasons to Oust Rick Perry

Texas Governor Rick Perry must go. There is no doubt in my mind. I don't care if Kinky, Carole or Chris takes his place. We need to say adios to the well-coifed mofo.

In that spirit, I'm going to try to do my small part by starting a series pointing out reasons to oust Rick Perry.

Reason #1: He wants to fast-track coal plants: "Public advocacy groups, including the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense and Public Citizen, since January have been pressuring TXU to use cleaner technology. The groups have charged publicly on numerous occasions that Perry approved fast-tracking the permits as a favor to the utilities, in particular TXU, which have contributed to his political campaign. A Perry spokeswoman has denied that, citing a need for additional power supply in the state."
