Texas wants to be it's own country?
April 28th 2009 02:39
Texas has often been called "unique." A word that means different things to different people, for sure. To Texans, it's a source of pride beyond compare. To others, Texas brings up different thoughts. I remember a friend who once said the biggest problem he had with Texas is that it is full of Texans.
And in a fine example of Republican hypocrisy at it's best, Texas governor Rick Perry, who over the last couple of weeks has been saying how "independent" Texans are, and how he drops hints to the secessionists to fire them up and speak to right wingers throughout the country as he sounds the water for a presidential run - now is running to the trough for federal funds.
And for what? Some of that money so decried by him and his ilk all around the country, good ol' federal funds. Pork is good when you might need it, I guess! Now that Texas part of a possible front line against a flu pandemic, those federal funds the righties forced out of the stimulus package that were - wait for it - specifically designated to improve the nation's ability to respond to a flu pandemic.
It's interesting, the three most odd people I have ever known were from roughly the same area in West-Central Texas. I don't mean strange or weird, I celebrate strange and weird. I mean wtf? Kind of odd, wonder if they shouldn't be in a very secure rubber room kind of odd.
Don't get me wrong, I know there are alot of good people in Texas, but they kind of bring it on themselves. So full of bravado and all. So people, don't get too offended. Just laugh, and then laugh again at the stupid talk about Texas leavng the country. Not that it would be all bad, especially if we could deport our rednecks there.
So -in light of the recent comments regarding Texas seceding from the Union, here are some fun pokes at the Lone Star State.
Q.What's the best thing to ever come out of Texas?
A.Interstate 10 heading west.
Q.What do you get when you take all the B.S. out of Texas?
A.Rhode Island.
Q.How many Texans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A1.One, he/she holds it and the world revolves around him/her.
A2.They have electricity in Texas?
A rhyme - Here I sit, my muscles a flexin' just gave birth to another Texan!
Q.Why does the wind always blow in New Mexico?
A.Because Texas sucks!
Here's a fun one for the secessionist in your family - Hell, there wouldn't even be a Texas if the Alamo had a back door!
OK, that's enough -point is, Texas, you're part of the good ol' US of A, so get used to it. And that USA is getting more liberal. Get used to that too. C'mon, be part of the family.
