<p>DALLAS - Sources close to Rick Perry say he regularly dances with Rabbis and hopes to become a Rabbi someday.<span id="more-38743"></span></p>
<p>Texas Gov. Rick Perry is working fervently to secure the Republican nomination, but he also is spending a good deal of time with Jewish leaders from around the world.  He not only wants their vote, he wants to be a rabbi!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/perry_rabbiz.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-38750 aligncenter" title="perry_rabbiZ" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/perry_rabbiz.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>Rick Perry has engulfed himself in Mideast politics with a hardline stand support Israel in his presidential campaign, a move that his backers and campaign have said comes from the heart, and predates the campaign.  He has long been in love with Israel and told friends that he loves &#8220;lox&#8221;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been revealed that Perry joins Rabbis as often as he can &#8211; and they dance.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rick loves to dance with the Jews,&#8221; said Kyle Montville of Dallas.  &#8220;He&#8217;s a good Jewish dancer.  He&#8217;s got some fancy Jewish footwork, I tell ya.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are rumors that Rick Perry is going to convert to Judaism, but Rabbis were concerned when Rick Perry held a Christian Prayer day in August.  They didn&#8217;t object to the Christian prayer, but they were bothered that Rick wanted Christians to pray for rain.  &#8220;Jews know that you God doesn&#8217;t get involved in weather,&#8221; said Rabbi Schumacher of Austin, TX.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/perry_rabbie.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-38745 aligncenter" title="perry_rabbiE" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/perry_rabbie.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Jewish supporters from around the state of Texas,honor the Governor during the high holy days every year.</p>
<p>During the festivities, Perry joined the religious leaders in traditional singing and dancing, while celebrating the lighting of the menorah. Below, watch him join the religious men in a circular dance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/32243/obama-burns-texas/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32248" title="texas_willdfires" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_willdfires.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>SAN ANTONIO -  Rumors are spreading that President Obama ordered fires set in Texas.  He&#8217;s had enough of The Lone Star State!<span id="more-32243"></span></p>
<p>Rumors are spreading across the internet that President Obama ordered the U.S. Military to set fires across Texas.  The Obama Administration has very little support in Texas and he wanted to &#8220;teach them a lesson.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_wildfiresa.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-32246 aligncenter" title="texas_wildfiresA" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_wildfiresa.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="182" /></a></p>
<p>This came on the heals of an interview with a Dallas reporter.  President Obama met with a senior political reporter for WFAA, Brad Watson, sat down with President Barack Obama to discuss things like the economy, immigration and the president&#8217;s approval rating.</p>
<p>Watson asked the President some tough questions, and the President got snippy, telling Watson, &#8220;next time let me finish my answers.&#8221;</p>
<p>President Obama reportedly stormed into The Oval Office, slammed doors and punched walls, then ordered the military to &#8220;start burning Texas.&#8221;   Military commanders objected, but the President was firm.  &#8220;I lost that state by almost 11 percent of the vote.   We need to send them a message, that&#8217;s not going to fly in 2012!&#8217;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_wildfired.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-32244 aligncenter" title="Texas Wildfires" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_wildfired.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="204" /></a></p>
<p>Massive wildfires have already burned an estimated 1.5 million acres of tinder-like brush and grasslands, most of that since the President was asked a tough question by Watson.</p>
<p>Some 220 homes in all have been lost, according to a letter released on Sunday from Perry to President Barack Obama requesting a federal disaster declaration.</p>
<p>&#8220;As wildfires continue to rage across our state, Texas is reaching its capacity to respond to these emergencies and is in need of federal assistance,&#8221; the governor said in a statement.</p>
<p>President Obama, however, will not be sending Texas any federal aid.  &#8220;Until they change their voting ways, I say&#8230; burn, baby, burn!!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_wildfiref.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-32245 aligncenter" title="texas_wildfireF" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/texas_wildfiref.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="248" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the interview that started the fires:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/19074/obama-releases-second-chupacabra-into-texas-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19098" title="chupacabra" src="http://weeklyworldnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/chupacabra2.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>BREAKING -  The U.S. Department of Interior Obama released a second Chupacabra today, this time into Texas. <span id="more-19074"></span></p>
<p>Last week WWN reported that President Obama had ordered his Administration to release a Chupacabra into Arizona as a way to &#8220;encourage&#8221; Arizonans to repeal their new illegal immigration law. <a href="http://weeklyworldnews.com/politics/18691/obama-releases-chupacabra-into-arizona/">READ the full WWN report on the Arizona Chupacabra. </a></p>
<p>Governor Jan Brewer, however,  and the majority of Arizona residents still support their new law and are steadfast in protecting their state.  &#8220;President Obama can release any monster he wants into Arizona.  I have my rainbows ready to fire.&#8221;  said Sedona resident Tyler Moonbeam.</p>
<p>John Morton, the director of the nation&#8217;s immigration enforcement agency says states should not follow Arizona&#8217;s lead and enact strict new immigration laws because ridding the country of illegal immigrants is the federal government&#8217;s job.</p>
<p>The release of the Chupacabra into Texas surprised Governor Rick Perry who has  recently expressed concerns over the Arizona law and has publicly stated, &#8220;I do not feel it is the right direction for Texas.&#8221;  But Governor Perry is confident that the law enforcement officials in Texas are more than capable of handling the mysterious creature.  &#8220;Most of our citizens have guns.  So they&#8217;ll be able to defend themselves against any creature, especially goat suckers. We can whoop any goat sucker&#8217;s ass!&#8221;  Former President George W. Bush is not as confident.  An aide to the former President said, &#8220;George has been hiding under his desk all day.  He&#8217;s really scared.  We can&#8217;t even get him to give up his binky.&#8221;</p>
<p>Once called the &#8220;Bigfoot of Latino culture,&#8221; there have been many stories about these unidentified animals. Chupacabras are said to kill livestock and tear them to pieces and are often portrayed as a cross between a dog and a wolf.  Animal Control Office Buddy Spackler got a glimpse of the Chupacabra as it was running up Highway 360 in Grand Prairie, Texas, heading for the Lone Star Tea Party offices.  &#8220;All I know is, it wasn&#8217;t normal. It was ugly, real ugly. I&#8217;m not going to tell no lie on that one.  I wouldn&#8217;t let my dog crap on him!&#8221;</p>
<p>Ugly or not, many across the Lone Star Stare are planning on having a Chupacabra Barbecue.  &#8220;We&#8217;ll gut &#8216;em and grill &#8216;em,&#8221;  said Floyd Wood of Plano.  &#8220;I got me some special Chupacabra sauce ready to put on &#8216;em.&#8221;</p>
<p>Robert Gibbs explained the White House&#8217;s rationale for releasing the Chupacabra into Texas. &#8220;Look, we need to stay in front of this issue. Texas borders Arizona and we can&#8217;t have them adopting a similar law.  We have to stop the states from enacting laws that we here in Washington don&#8217;t like.&#8221;  When Gibbs was told that Texas does not border Arizona and that New Mexico was in between the two states, Gibbs simply shouted, &#8220;Teabagger, Teabagger, Teabagger!&#8221;</p>
<p>Chupacabras are known to be aggressive, vicious, and deadly.  Federal Authorities are encouraging all Texans to keep their doors unlocked and to keep food outside in open containers to attract the creature.</p>

<p>AUSTIN, TX – Texas has seceded from the union.  Led by Governor Rick Perry, Texans and frustrated Conservatives are clamoring to Texas to start a new country.<span id="more-7674"></span></p>
<p>Texas’ state congress held an emergency session on Thursday, and in a 180-1 vote decided to secede from the union.</p>
<p>Originally the Texas Senate opposed the actions of the State Congress, until the Congressmen asked if they would like to “step outside.”  After a brief scuffle behind the Capitol building, the Senate agreed and ratified the secession.</p>
<p>The new Republic of Texas is actively attracting those who are unhappy with the current US government.  Republicans who attended “Tea Party” protests earlier this week are expected to emigrate in droves.  Grief counselors had to be brought in to many of the protests as hundreds of Republicans realized they are now the minority.  Commercials on Fox News are advertising the new republic as “a Right-minded, God-fearing, *ss-kicking place to live.”  The Michigan Militia has offered to act as interim border patrol for the new state.</p>
<p>Texas was a republic from 1836, when it declared independence from Mexico, to 1845, when it was annexed as a U.S. state.  Kept in the state’s constitution was a provision allowing Texas the right to secede, which has to this point been purely ceremonial.</p>
<p>Governor Rick Perry made the announcement at a press conference Thursday afternoon.  Wearing a navy blue suit and carrying a Winchester rifle, Governor Perry announced that Texas would be its own autonomous republic.  The downtown Austin crowd responded with mostly polite applause and confused stares.  The same speech delivered in Houston later that day was met with thunderous applause and gunshots into the air.</p>
<p>The first orders of business addressed by the Republic of Texas were to set up a holiday on May 2nd where effigies of Gen. Santa Anna will be burned publicly, and to require all state business to be done wearing ‘coonskin caps.</p>
