Rick Perry hosts "The Incredibly Late Show"

Well, well, well. Our Governor, Rick Perry, who has a fantastic head of hair, has announced that he is forming the Texas Task Force on Appraisal Reform (TFAR). Instead of evaluating the individual members of the task force, which David Benzion at Lone Star Times has already done exceedingly well, let me tell you exactly what should be said at the one and only meeting of the TFAR.

CHAIRMAN: This one and only meeting of the TFAR is now called to order. All those in favor of a three percent limit on property appraisal increases say "aye."

ALL: Aye.

CHAIRMAN: Those opposed?

Silence.

CHAIRMAN: Three percent it is. This one and only meeting of the TFAR is now adjourned.

Anything more is a complete waste of time.

Of course, Rick Perry wouldn't think of this. He wouldn't think to simply call for a lowering of the appraisal cap. He wouldn't call for a special session of the legislature with the purpose of lowering the cap. He's not a conservative.
