This Weekend. UPDATED
The reason you haven’t heard from me is that I’m in San Antonio at the Texas Democratic County Chairs Association Summer Workshop.
Every Texan has two homes – where they live and San Antonio.
Here I am with Mayor Julian Castro and Bubba.
And here is Bubba with Wendy Davis.
I like you guys but as you can tell, I am having way too much fun.
UPDATE: Wendy announced on San Antonio radio on Saturday that she will have an announcement of her plans “in a couple of weeks a message they want to hear.”
That sounds good to me.
With a great mayor like Julian Castro, I sure understand why you like to spend time in San Antonio!
1As a San Antonian, I have to say that Julian rocks!
2You go girl!
3You are surrounded by lovely people that should be hugged! Enjoy!
4You’re having fun? So’s Bubba!
5Go you, Bubba, and Wendy. May the world get better.
6And the Castros.
7Julian Castro and Wendy Davis…there might be hope for Texas yet!
8Fine upstanding beautiful people with a noble cause.
9On a somewhat unrelated note – you know how Governor Perry is always talking about how corporations don’t have to worry about intrusive government actions in Texas? Here’s an interesting “compare and contract” moment on intrusive government behaviors for persons that aren’t corporations:
The first video was graphic enough. Two women, as shown in a Texas state trooper’s dash cam recording, are probed in their vaginas and rectums by a glove-wearing female officer after a routine traffic stop near Dallas.
A few days later, a second video surfaced. It was an eerily similar scenario, but this time the traffic stop was just outside Houston, and with different troopers. Two women, pulled over for allegedly speeding, are subjected to body cavity searches by a female officer summoned to the scene by a male trooper.

10Jealous! Great that you’re there. They’re in good company 🙂
11I had people in the tasting room from San Antonio on Friday afternoon. They were awesome! I felt bonded to you. And jealous, of course. Hanging out with hope for the future of TX and the nation. Keep up the good work.
12Would love to see Castro as governor and Wendy as a U.S. Senator! Not a pipe dream! I believe this can happen and in this old lady’s lifetime!
13Enjoy! Yes, Maggie!
14Love the pics with Julian Castro and Wendy Davis. Is that a little twinkle in Bubba’s eye? Focus, Bubba, focus!
15Hee hee, Lorraine, I spied that little twinkle in Bubba’s eyes too! Who shall blame him – here he is, married to and/or just hangin’ with two of the smartest most dedicated women in the room, and, in fact, the state! He oughta be pleased!
16@aggieland liz Shhh….don’t tell JuanitaJeanHerOwnSelf, but I think Bubba is kinda cute too. And smart. After all, he married JJ!
17*Grinning from ear to ear.* You are rock stars–all of you!
18Maggie: “Would love to see Castro as governor and Wendy as a U.S. Senator! Not a pipe dream! I believe this can happen and in this old lady’s lifetime!”
Yeah!! What Maggie says!! And aggieland liz, too!!
19Great Dems down in Texas! Thanks for the pix!
20I can’t decide which I’m most jealous of: JJ and Bubba, or Julian and Wendy. Wish I were lucky enough to get hugs from, or give hugs to, all of any of them!
21Watch national political news closely. Julian & Wendy are upcoming stars. Wish I could say the same thing up here in Badgerland. JJ, you & Bubba are awesome!
22If Wendy Davis declares she’s running for Gov, this Nevadan has a $20 bill with her campaign’s name on it.
Go Wendy! With JJ and Bubba to help you, ya can’t go wrong. 🙂
23@ Carlos, waves of sympathy sent your way!! Y’all will get rid of “mr right to work” Walker, just like we are getting rid of Perry! Hope you have someone wonderful waiting in the wings! We, of course, are in Abbott’s crosshairs attm, and you know, we LIKE crooks in Texas! We elected Bill Clements TWICE!! Surely you guys will do better than that! We can too!! Here’s to Wendy, a lady of brains, grit, and determination!
24Oops, sorry Carlo, my smartphone (!!) corrected (?!) your name and I didn’t catch it! Because I use the Spanish function as an alternate language, it just KNEW I meant “Carlos!” Ye gods!
25I’m with LongRider on Wendy for Governor of Texas. I’d send $20+ if she decides to do it.
We have a very smart Democratic woman who is running for Chambliss Saxby’s seat here in Georgia. Hope to send the message out to all Independents like me – get behind Michelle Nunn (daughter of Sam Nunn) to improve the U.S. Senate.
26I would LOVE to see Wendy Davis announce that she’s going to run for Governor. There are a lot of ReTHUGliscum men in Texas politics who fear her. They cower like 9 year old boys when she speaks! And that’s a GOOD thing. ;-}
