On July 11, the couple welcomed son Kase Townes after an unexpected emergency c-section that left the new parents slightly shaken, but happy to end up with their “mellow and chill” baby boy. “They always say, ‘Make a plan and God laughs,’ right?” says the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, 37. “We wanted a natural birth and I was committed to that.

Rick Perry doesn’t care about burning people… In Texas, firefighters aren’t just battling the wild fires raging around Austin and Houston. The state’s first responders have also had to deal with budget cuts affecting everything from fuel purchases to hoses and oxygen tanks. In some cases, fire officials say, firefighters have had to pay out of pocket for basic necessities like proper protective gear and fuel to get them to the scene. One fire department that battled the blazes in Bastrop County had to pay for a hose, recalled Bastrop City Fire Chief Henry Perry, speaking to The Huffington Post during a break from working the wild fires. “That fire department has been on this fire every day,” he said. “Before this fire, they were having to buy stuff out of their own pocket.” Perry said he knows of at least one other department whose firemen had to pay for equipment maintenance and engine fuel. Earlier this week, HuffPost reported that Gov. Rick Perry, the GOP front-runner for president, had signed off on millions in firefighting cuts as part of the state’s most recent budget legislation. The Texas Forest Service’s funding has gone from $117.7 million in the 2010-2011 budget years to $83 million in the 2012-2013 budget years. Severe cuts have also hit assistance grants to volunteer fire departments throughout Texas. The grants decreased from $30 million per year in 2010 and 2011 to $13.5 million per year in 2012 and 2013. These are cuts that firemen are now dealing with. “I don’t agree with it. I understand what Governor Perry did,” said Henry Perry (no relation). “Do I like it? No. I don’t like it at all.” Guy Turner, the president of the Texas State Association of Fire Fighters, had this to say about Gov. Perry: “For years, public safety was the golden calf — that we were untouchable,” Turner said. “Nobody’s untouchable. It is a shame. They are basically putting a price on how much our lives are worth. It’s disturbing at best.” So the question is, is this the man that we want to run our country??? A man who cuts budgets for public safety while his state burns like Usher?? SMH we say HELL NO! Source

U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis admits she’s ignorant about job creation in Texas, then proves she’s wrong about everything else. Wow. Just wow. We’ve come to expect our politicians to be liars, but we also expect them to be good liars. Solis has obviously mastered the former, but failed at the latter.

Warren Jeffs Is this what this sick fizzuck, Warren Jeffs , deserves?? Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs has been hospitalized after not eating or drinking enough since his recent conviction on child sexual assault charges, a prison official said Monday. ABC News is reporting that Jeffs is in a coma, according to a source close to him. However, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice would not confirm the report. “I’ve seen that report but we have not received that information or released it,” said Michelle Lyons, spokesman for the department. The 55-year-old Jeffs, serving a 130-year sentence for sexually assaulting two underage girls, had been refusing to eat properly and is being treated for weakness and related conditions, said Jason Clark, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman. Jeffs was reportedly fasting, but not on a hunger strike, Clark said. According to ABC News, Jeffs became so weak that doctors induced a coma. “Warren Jeffs was transported last night to East Texas Medical Center in Tyler,” Clark said Monday. “He is listed in critical but stable condition. Jeffs had not been eating and drinking as much as we would like. “He had been eating and taking fluids in, but because he became dehydrated, his vital signs began showing problems.” Jeffs is the self-named “prophet” of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, a polygamist Mormon breakaway sect that has a ranch in west Texas.
