Rick Perry, Here’s a Debate Headliner For Ya: Texas Loves Real Estate and Sex !!!
Another one of those inane magazine surveys, but this one is a hoot and really ought to be one of Rick Perry’s talking points: according to Men’s Health magazine, three of four major Texas cities are in the top ten list of America’s most sex-happy cities. That is, these are the cities where people appear to be having more great sex than others, determined by looking at condom purchasing rates, buying of sex toys, birth rates (the whoopsie factor) and STD’s (gross). The top Texas cities on the list are Austin, number one, Dallas, the number two spot in fact, and — this is really amazing — Arlington, seventh. Must have something to do with the Rangers. Or maybe the Superbowl last winter.

Why (Gasping) Rick Perry Is On His Way Up In The Polls: Texas Is a Stud State for Realtors
Update: At that Vail meeting with Kelcy warren et al, The Daily Beast is now reporting that the Koch brothers compared President Obama to Sadaam Hussein.
He is picking up money like crazy. On the Perry bandwagon now apparently is energy billionaire Kelcy Warren, he of pipeline magnate Energy Transfer Partners, and owner of one of the most expensive homes in Dallas: 5323 Park Lane. The former home of Joyce and Larry Lacerte has entertained, among others, former President George W. and Laura Bush, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Jaap van Zweden, Prince Edward, Caroline Rose Hunt, among others, plus feted countless Dallas charity galas and pre-galas. 5323 was listed in 2008 for $45 million, then was lowered to just under $40 million. ( Zillow, in it’s infinite wisdom, had it “zestimated” at $26,063,000. Funny.) Warren snapped it up for just under $30 million-ish, and asked for an outside appraisal. Seller’s agent was precious Ralph Randall, Dave Perry-Miller & Associates. The buyer’s agent was Rosie Waters of Allie Beth Allman and Associates, who is married to football legend Charlie Waters, who I believe works or worked for Mr. Warren.
The Sunday Times of London Is Sneaking Up On Rick Perry. Dallas Real Estate News
“In London, you’re only a somebody if your phone’s been hacked.”
There was a fund raiser for Rick Perry last night at The Fairmont, and a darling Brit snuck in from The Sunday Times of London. Her name is Christina Lamb, she’s the Washington Bureau Chief of The Sunday Times, and a brilliant, seasoned, dynamo reporter who has been embedded in three wars — Afghanistan, Iraq and Zimbabwe. I’m sure a Rick Perry fundraiser at The Fairmont was a piece of frosted cake compared to dodging land mines.

Now That He’s Running For President, Let’s Take a Look at Rick Perry’s Real Estate Deals in the Texas Version of Pebble Beach
I was in Pebble Beach last week, and everyone in California kept asking me about Rick Perry. He is the California Republicans’ hero because of our strong Texas economy. In fact today, I think he’s leading in the polls. While in Cali, I recalled a story I wrote last summer about Perry’s real estate deals, a story which is bound to crop up. It all began with this article in The Dallas Morning News about a real estate flip. Or how “a series of professional courtesies and favors helped Perry buy a lot at the toney Peninsula at Horseshoe Bay, the “Pebble Beach” of Texas, for $139,000 below market value and sell it for $350,000 above market value.” Bloomberg coughed up much of the same stuff last week.
