James Richard "Rick" Perry (born March 4, 1950) is an American politician who served as the 47th Governor of Texas from December 2000 to January 2015. A Republican, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998 and assumed the governorship in December 2000 when then-governor George W. Bush resigned to become President of the United States. Perry was the longest-serving governor in Texas state history.
Perry was elected to full gubernatorial terms in 2002, 2006 and 2010 and is the fourth Texas governor (after Allan Shivers, Price Daniel and John Connally) to serve three terms. With a tenure in office of 14 years, 30 days, Perry was, at the time he left office, the second longest-serving current U.S. governor (after Terry Branstad of Iowa). Perry served as chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2008 and again in 2011. In July 2013, Perry announced that he was retiring as governor and would not seek re-election in 2014.
On August 15, 2014, Perry was indicted on two felony charges related to his actions as governor. The charge against Perry of "coercion of a public servant" was dismissed in July 2015 when an appellate court ruled the statute unconstitutional. As of November 2015, Perry still faces one charge of "abuse of official capacity" in relation to his veto of funding for a state district attorney's office.

Rick Perry defended his latest campaign ad "Strong" -- which criticizes Obama for repealing the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy -- in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. Original Ad viewable here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PAJNntoRgA (don't forget to hit dislike. the like / dislike ratio is impressive! :P) "I'm very comfortable with that ad," Perry said. "My faith is part of me. The values that I learned in my Christian upbringing will affect my governing." In the ad, called "Strong," Perry says "you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know that there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school." Perry reiterated those sentiments Wednesday night, saying ...
"CNN host Kate Bolduan confronted Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) in an interview that aired Thursday about his suggestion that President Barack Obama may have engineered the current immigration crisis at the Texas border. "We either have an incredibly inept administration, or they're in on this somehow or another," Perry had said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "I mean I hate to be conspiratorial, but I mean how do you move that many people from Central America across Mexico and then into the United States without there being a fairly coordinated effort?" Bolduan asked Perry to re-evaluate that statement in the wake of his meeting with Obama in Austin."* The Young Turks hosts Ana Kasparian and Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies) break it down. *Read more here from Catherine Thompson / Talkin...

Who is it? Who'll get the sting?
Who'll get the stripes? Black and yellow
A dangerous creature, chattering wings
Flashing antennae, who is it?
It buzzes fine, the bee
Buzzes fine, stings deep
I play a frightened little game
I eject myself at scary speed
In front of cars and I go yeah
She is it, she's got the sting
She's dangerous, she stings
He gets stung, he is out
She gets the honey, she is it
She flies great, the bee
Flies great, stings deep
The cars freeze from fright
When they see my beautiful body and tongue
Then I speed away
But no one catches me
I'm the fastest bee in town
Oh, hot bee, Queen of heaven
With glossy trunk buzz to me
I want to be stung, I want to be out
Here is the honey, you're it
It stings deep, the bee
It stings deep, oh oh
