Way with words

We don't know him, but he made us all laugh.

Bedside manner

In the Jan. 12 Star-Telegram, Gov. Rick Perry said he doesn't see a fiscal catastrophe striking Texas anytime soon. That's good news, because I had thought the state's multibillion-dollar shortfall might be a problem.

Perry is that doctor.

You're the jock on the table.
