    Some weeks back, I posted an explanation on this site as to why a state could not unilaterally secede from the Union. It’s all still valid, but in the case of Texas I would be willing to grant a special dispensation.

    If Texas were to ever actually secede from the Union, I would be amongst the 1st to move there!

    Politics in this state is a little more active.

    W’s nephew George P. Bush has already raised $1.8M and is standing in Gov. Rick Perry’s ‘Pay-To-Play’ line to get his ticket punched.

    Since I retired from driving a semi, i don’t have to go through Tax-us any more, so I can just sit back with the other 49 states, and laugh at the latest insanity coming out of there!
    Just remember what Molly Ivans once said, come next Presidential Election…“The next time I tell you people NOT to elect an Ex-Governor of Texas President of the United States, MAYBE you’ll listen to me!”

    Masterskrain: She spelled it Ivins, but you’re right. We miss her. The nearest we have left is Jim Hightower, but the corporate media got their feelings hurt (easy to do) and have him under the same blackout as the Greens.

    Left Texas in 1989 before it was taken over by paranoid right-wing religious extremists.

    Shame what’s happened there.
