1 So, with luck, Perry can make the debate, yes?

2 Dispatch MO. She can stomp it out with her butt

3 FEMA has taken over. There's not much more Perry can do.

And Bastrop State Park was a beautiful park. I'm going to miss it. It will be years before it can be used again. (Galveston Island State Park is still half gone from hurricane Ike.)

4 I don't know.  He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.  And, reading the emergency mgmt coordinator's comments above, it sounds like they may have a complete perimeter today. 

5 And Perry can leave late for the debate, since he'll be heading west and gaining an hour.

6
Why not teleconference the governor from TX?

7 Skip Perry?

/dont hate me

8 I will announce soon a plan to present a major policy speech about the fires in Texas. Fore!

9 Why not teleconference the governor from TX?

I'll bet that the other participants would consider than an unfair advantage, and complain to the hosts.

10
Tell me again why it's a good idea to have a GOP debate hosted and moderated by MSDNC & Poshitico?

11
Who's the moderator, anyone know?

12 FEMA has taken over.

Obama is finishing Perry's job? Oh oh.

/ writing talking points

13 How conveeeeeeeeeeenient!

14 Impressive video, look at that stimulus go!! If only my readers across the nation would start more fires, this economy would be a really heat-up.

15 Keep the Austenites and Bastropites in your prayers.

16 Who's the moderator, anyone know?


Brian F'n Williams

17 I work near DFW Airport and could see the smoke in the southern skyline this morning.

That thing is NASTY.  And I'm sure Commander Cluster*uck will ignore us again when it comes to assistance.

18 Dennis Miller would make a good moderator.

19 See, Parry didn't need to go back and micro-mange. Presadant Obana has everything under control with FEMA's help. Boy, does Parry look like an idiot now rightwingers.......duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!

20
Brain Williams?

So it's gonna be a Gays, Guns, and God debate.

21 If this really was arson I'd like to string the little bastards up who started it.

22 Earlier today I stepped outside and it was like standing next to a campfire. Smell of burning wood and smoke hanging in the air. I'm 25 miles or so west of Bastrop. Weather geeks said there was an "inversion" in the atmosphere that was holding the smoke close to the ground and the prevailing winds were blowing it right over Austin.

23 The thing is, with the time difference, he'll probably Johnny-On-The-Spot until 5:30 or so, CDT.  That gives plenty of time to get to CA, get relaxed and into makeup, and be on the debate stage. 

He's done most (if not all) of the administrative stuff he can do, and anything left really is stuff he can do by phone.

I expect he'll shuttle out there for the debate, and then head back as quickly as he reasonably can.

The thing is, with a wildfire, you can't make your choices dependent upon what it might do, because it could do anything.  He's done what he can do, he's seen to it that the response is coordinated and FEMA (as much as I hate they exist) is now diverting resources to the problem.  He's even working with Fort Hood (who have their own fire to deal with) to get some of their unused assets for the Bastrop fire (I heard that last night, and haven't heard an update since).

Going to the debate is not just leaving Texas to the wolves, and he can get back in town long before daylight if his presence becomes necessary.

24 I wouldn't put arson past these leftist thugs. It's hard to fingerprint a match.

Just sayin'.

25 After the debate, my plans to douse the fire with mexicans will go into effect. I'm not sure if it will work but it's gonna look awesome!

26

Yep. Brian Williams looks normal though.

27 I can see it now. First question for Gov. Perry..."Sir, why are you so dumb? Were you born that way or did you learn from Bush?"

28 I'm pretty sure the outcome of the fire won't depend on whether or not the Governor is sitting in his office wringing his hands tonight.

29 my bet is he'll be in constant contact and be on a plane back to Texas after the debate before the rest of the debaters reach their local hotels ...

Perry: "When will the Democrats stop beating the American public, Brian?  Americans are without jobs, they're facing foreclosure, they're worn out and worn down.  The only thing this administration knows how to do is "spend, spend, spend," but that's not working.  At some point, we have to step back and take a look at what isn't working, and change course."

42 "If you could put your partisanship aside for one minute, please tell me what's more awesome, Obama riding a horse bareback down the beach or Obama shirtless anywhere, anytime?" --- Brian Williams

43 " I think he should be in Texas for this. The governor is supposed to be on the job during a crisis. Going to the debate elevates the presidential campaign over his actual job."

I hate to say it, but I agree with this.

I would prefer the governor be here for this.  It may seem silly to a lot of keyboard commandos, but the truth is that governing a crisis like this is not easy, and being there probably has an impact on effectiveness in so many ways it would be impossible to list.

But hey, he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.  If Perry ducked out, he'd be called a moron debater who is chickening out of a battle of wits.

He did return to Texas when the fire got quite bad, and I greatly appreciate that.  These fires are so bad.  My house has a little ash on it, but that's nothing.  A lot of people have just had their lives completely messed up.  Thousands of kids are living in gymnasiums or wherever. 

Hopefully Perry set up some kind of system for his subordinates to handle most of the contingencies, authorized whatever funding is needed, and that's that.

The democrats are whining that this proves conservative leadership is bad, because Perry cut firefighter funding before this disaster.  I think that's ghoulish and proving wrong anyway.

Perry in the debates will be very difficult to beat.  The fact he's actually leading, and the others aren't, will be painfully obvious.

50 Hopefully Perry set up some kind of system for his subordinates to handle most of the contingencies, authorized whatever funding is needed, and that's that.


He's really only going to be gone a few hours.

His emergency management team has it under control. At this point, all they can do is coordinate with FEMA. I don't see any situation coming up that requires Perry's presence.

51 "We're going to try and switch up the format a little bit tonight, so asking questions will be impartial guest moderators Chris Matthews and Rep. Hank Johnson" - Brian Williams.

52 OT: Built to Fail.  New Mexico gets $200,000,000 project to build alternative energy test city.  That's right.  I said city.

53 Smelled smoke for the first time today near the Georegtown area about 30 miles north of Austin. No new fires but the smoke isn't rising as much as it did in the previous days. The horizon looked hazy earlier today. It would seem the worst is over for now but I think most of us are a little on edge because the entire state is so dry and fires can start anywhere and spread so fast. Thankfully the winds are calm. Our day temps are going back into the mid 90's with no rain in sight. This is a long term problem and until we get rain fires are possible anywhere. If Perry decides to go to the debate tonight I have no problem with that. I have no doubt he will be in Texas if and when needed. He is a very good leader in times crisis. Calming presence and in control. Could do much worse, eh?

54 I would prefer the governor be here for this.  It may seem silly to a lot of keyboard commandos, but the truth is that governing a crisis like this is not easy, and being there probably has an impact on effectiveness in so many ways it would be impossible to list.

I agree with you, more-or-less, but I also realize that, whatever of substance he might do tomorrow, he's likely already done anything he can do today.

Since fire-fighting efforts move to "don't lose ground" at night, there won't be anything he can do (substantively or symbolically) tonight.

Now, if he goes to the debate and then hits the campaign trail, I'll probably be miffed.  But going to the debate tonight, and then coming back tonight or first thing in the morning should be fine.

I'd go passive-aggressive.

"I like President Obama's skill in reading speeches from a teleprompter, especially the numerous speeches over the last 3 years about the unemployment crisis that fails to improve in spite of these speeches." 

"I also respect that Obama's golf handicap is much lower than my own; it shows dedication to something he truly cares about."

63

Question for Gov. Perry: Given the premise that Obama is awesome and the House Republicans a racist and get their marching orders from Rush Limbaugh and Palin answer the following question.... Why does Texas hate blacks, gays and transexual hamsters and why do you not think that Ronald Reagan caused global warming and kept blacks down for struggle when the Berlin wall fell?

Gov. Perry you have 5 seconds to answer until we move on to the next question. Thank You, time begins nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Sorry times up!!!!

64 Then the next one is.... Sept. 22nd Orlando.

65 Perry: "When will the Democrats stop beating the American public, Brian?  Americans are without jobs, they're facing foreclosure, they're worn out and worn down.  The only thing this administration knows how to do is "spend, spend, spend," but that's not working.  At some point, we have to step back and take a look at what isn't working, and change course."

Why do you hate the elderly and want to see the poor die in the streets?

66 Elvis will be in the building.

67 Wait. We're debating on whether he should go to California? All he has to do is land, thank them for all the jobs the state sent his way, and head on back, saying, "when my state burns, people are actually interested in stopping the flames. Good night."

It's not that Perry is the superhero.  He's the governor, and the state is suffering an emergency.  It's good that he came back and did his job, and a lot of idiots attacked him for doing so.

It appears that the tide was turned.

Texas has handled emergencies very well for the past ten years.  Only a moron would pretend Perry doesn't deserve some credit there.

I don't know that Perry being here would make a different now, but I am pretty sure him returning when he did actually gave him a better feel for the situation, and enabled him to make a lot of decisions more accurately.

You kinda have to be here to really appreciate the scale of the fire east of Austin.  It dwarfed the skyline.

Anyway, I was glad he returned, and if had been up to me, his debate debut would have been after these fires had completely abated.

I guess the long running meme against Perry is that other people get the credit, but that's BS.  The buck stops at his desk.  Sure, he's got a lot of other people doing the work.  Some of them are probably total badasses, too.  So what?

78 I work near DFW Airport and could see the smoke in the southern skyline this morning.

OK, you have a good point.  I probably stand corrected.  There's not a whole lot he can do tonight anyway.

But a whole lot of people were whining that Perry came back at all, claiming he should have made that forum thing, and mocking the idea Perry can do any good from Austin.  I think these people don't really grasp what an emergency this is.  My house has ash on it, but my in law's house, five hours away (in Texas) also has ash all over it.  This is a widespread situation.

Would the Californian government have been able to get this under control with low drama, after austerity leadership cut every agency (including fire departments where possible) to remain solvent?  Hell no.

This is a good example of the conservative way of running a government, and I think it requires the leadership to come here and do their jobs to some extent.  Doesn't have to be 24/7, and sometimes there's not much point, but this is the exact opposite of the Obama golfcourse method of leadership.

85 Tell me again why it's a good idea to have a GOP debate hosted and moderated by MSDNC & Poshitico?

The horrible moderators and gotcha questions of the previous debates have allowed Perry to 'win' by not attending so far.  He should skip this one today as well.

86 Um...so they're completely ignoring the abysmal failure that was the 'green energy' attempts by Spain and Brazil?

what the hell does New Mexico need with another city anyway.  Isn't Farmington bad enough?

87 The eagle has landed!

88

Just so y'all Texas morons and ette's know: I pray for rain for Texas daily and keep hoping we could send some your way from Floriduh. Friends of mine live in West Texas and went through this last spring. Horrific video.

I hope Gov. Perry does well tonight. He will be crticised whether he goes or not.

What people may not realize is the increased price of beef and other goods as the result of the fires: months ago stockyards were packed with ranchers selling their stock as they could not feed them (no hay). Americans will feel the fires soon in their grocery bills. Grains have also been burned. Wildlife is suffering (as deer abandon their fawns as they have no milk for them due to no water or food). These fires are horrible and, unless I am wrong and missed something, Obama refuses to give Texas the federal aid Gov. Perry requested.

(also, not fighting pixy on URLs)
Volunteer firefighters turned away?

90 @89
Firefighting-trained volunteers from around the state converged on Bastrop and Smithville Tuesday to lend a hand to the beleaguered local firefighters battling the Bastrop County Complex Fire — only to be sent away as federal officials arrived at the scene and took command, apparently because local officials never made a formal request for volunteers.

91

<I>You know how he loses the debate? Winds whip up and the fire spreads while he's in California.</i>

The weather isn't that unpredictable.  Current winds in Bastrop are 7mph and expected to remain the same for the next 12 hours.  That's about the same in Texarkana.  In Magnolia, wind speeds are below 5mph.

Indeed, the really unfortunate thing is the weather is likely to remain exactly the same for the next 3 days.  If the ground had some moisture, it would be nearly perfect.  But what we need is a change in the weather, and that would take some changes in the wind.

92 I prefer FEMA not be involved at all. Just create more problems than solutions.

93 Wouldn't it be awesome if the candidates just called out the moderators for stupid gotcha questions?   Like, "why are you asking THAT with all the problems we have??"  just dump on 'em. 

Would they get in trouble, and not get invited again?  I mean who cares, the questions are just so fucking ridiculous and irrelevant.

94 I lived in Bastrop for three years, owned a home (that is now gone) right in the middle of Tahitian Village.  Beyond the immediate tragedy of so many folks losing their homes, the "Lost Pines" of central Texas will likely never recover.

95 Alamo, the Lost Pines area was very beautiful. Loblollies do grow back, and they are fairly fire resistant, so I'm hoping in a few decades it'll recover. It'll be a shame if the CCC stuff in the park was lost. At the other end of the state, I went to Davis Mtn state park after it burned, and the only CCC building that burned was the picnic shelter on top of the mountain. The state has burned from end to end this year.

We can smell and see a light haze of smoke all the way over in San Antonio.

96

 In the middle of a similar drought in South Dakota a few years ago, one wildfire burned at the rate of five hundred acres per minute....all day long. (93,000 acres burned to a crisp in the Jasper fire in 2000)

 If you are ever in the path of a wildfire, when you're told to evacuate, don't hesitate. Get in your car and get the hell out of the way.

97 I have a ladyfriend who lived just east of Bastrop in the Lost Pines and she escaped with only her clothes. The local authorities forced her to leave and abandon most of her animals. Sad, sad day.

98 Like others I'm glad Perry is attending the debate tonight.  His ace in his hand is leadership... as a Governor.  He played that hand for the  weekend debate; but in my opinion, after setting up the initial responses and ensuring proper and rapid resources are made available, Perry really needs to get his face in front of the GOP and independents who know nothing of him that the MFM haven't defiled already.

To the extent that he is not speaking amongst the other candidates, though causes no gaffes, also misses an opportunity to show why he deserves to be the front-runner and eventual nominee.

I look forward to the debate.  He will get questioned on how he can leave the state during an emergency....  and he should answer, Texans don't need their hands held.

....

99 Stace, I hope you're right.  The intensity of the fire from what I've seen leads to my pessimism.  I'm from the piney woods of east Texas where loblollies are everywhere, so when I moved to Bastrop back in 02, I was immediately drawn to the Tahitian area.  Our home was surrounded by 60 footers.  It makes me ill to think of the loss, and heartsick for those folks who lost everything they owned.

100 ... when I say Perry played his leadership Ace this weekend, I do NOT infer that his decision to return and skip that debate was a political one.  He is not a democrat.  That is how they make decisions.

He truly needed to return and get eyes on the fire and a phone in his hand.   I like Perry and support him as our Governor and will work to help him become our next President...    that is, unless we find out some weird shit in the next few months...

101 I love the pines... my house in the DFW area has but four, but they remind me of the piney woods....  Bastrop in prayers....  hang in there..

102 (This should not be interpreted as a slam on the severity of the Texas fires!) As fast as that spread was on the video, wildfires in the SoCal hill areas spread faster! The brush has evolved to be super-combustible - like gasoline soaked bushes. And crown fires in pine forests are even faster. They can spread faster than you can run. Terrifying if you're running away from one...

103 Yip you're fortunate.  I now live north of the metroplex and all we've got is a few cedars.  Well, at least we're back in Texas....

104 Texans don't need their hands held Love it!!!!!!!!!

105
Had an biology professor from SoCal whose area of study had been the ecology of the chaparral.  He described the speed and intensity of wildfires in that country and said everything that crawled or walked (but couldn't run) died. He was an interesting guy (for a Californian). 

106 Really and truly, AMERICANS don't need their hands held... except the ones that have been taught to depend on the Government to tell them what to do.  There is a very dependent class of citizens in the USA and then there is the rest of us....

I'm looking forward to the debate tonight.  I hope Perry has an opportunity to shine and not be set - up to fail. 

107

it's a relatively cool, calm day today - not much chance of the winds acting up again, the weather pattern has changed.   The winds on Sunday were frightening, but that was the backside of Lee. (Texas tastes the backside of Lee?  Cruel Irony!!!)  Knocked the top out of one of my trees, but no other damage, fortunately.

Also, as of this afternoon, it looks like most of the fires across the state are coming under control.

Of course one can't say enough how sorry we are for all those people who have lost homes, pets, even some lives.  The guy who lost his collection of 175 cars, including 12 classic corvettes and a shelby cobra, really hits me in the gut!  He had them stored in a couple barns outside Bastrop.

But it truly is a tragedy that this hit Bastrop State Park - the Lost Pines area is one of the most beautiful state parks Texas has, it's hard to imagine almost all of it burned.

108 Alamo, yeah that fire is intense. Hoping for the best. Meanwhile, I'm supposed to go to a meeting tonight south of Camp Bullis, and the news is just now showing a large new fire jumping Ralph Fair Rd. at Camp Bullis. I think at the very least traffic is going to be screwed up for me to get near that area.

109

The first stupid question should be responded too like this ...

... really? seriously????

110 Coming from upstate New York (just outside of Binghamton), I would love to send help in the form of rain.  I couldn't get home for six hours (normal travel time, 15 minutes) because the town I was in suddenly became its own archipelago. 

111 Rick Perry needs to stop the spread of Socialism. Socialism is like that wild fire. Perry has capable people in Texas to take care of the fire. There are few capable people in Washington D.C. that are stopping Socialism. And as a side note. The feds have been hindering the Texas fire fighting efforts.

112 I'm a rancher in western Kansas and we wish we could help Texas by sending hay or taking in cattle, but folks Texas ain't the only place the cattle industry is suffering.  We have have no grass, we have no hay, we have no rain and we only have half of our cattle left.  Neither does south eastern Colorado, Oklahoma panhandle or the Texas panhandle.  If you like good beef better buy it now and put it in the freezer and hope the EPA doesn't turn off your electricity.

113
This web site is my breathing in, really fantastic pattern and perfect subject matter.

114 Best possible outcome:

Moderator:  "Now, Mr. Perry... You've stated tha...

ring, ring...

Perry, whipping cell out of pocket "Hello?  Yes.... Yea...  Ok" 
Hangs up
Perry:  "My apologies, but I gotta go do the things I was elected to". 

And then rushes off the stage, and the next day the papers all show Perry in fire-fighting garb leading the charge against a late night fire.
