Didn't someone try this about 140 years ago... ?? Hmm.. the exact even escapes me, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work out then... I just wish I could remember the name of that thing, I think it started with a "C"...

Just kidding... I'm in Texas too... and there was a clause in Texas joining the U.S. that we are given the right to secede at will. There's even a nutjob every few years that will declare himself President of Texas and claim that Texas has seceded under his authority. Never really works out for him, either.

Texans can be a hilariously proud bunch. I mean, Bush could be a cannibalistic Satanist, but the fact that he's a Texan would pretty much still tip the scales in his favor down here.

That email was pretty darn funny, though.
