Life without Texas (and the Houston Rockets?)
Since wing-nut Republicans can’t win without hanging chads and rigged electronic voting, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is talking about picking up Texas' loose marbles and marching The Lone Star State out of the Union.
And Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul is keeping the secession idea alive.
I say go for it, Texas!
With the exception of The Texas Observer, Austin City Limits, Kinky Friedman, Molly Ivins, Ralph Yarborough, Jim Hightower and a few other worthies, Texas has given this nation little more than grief.
Where to begin?
My first awareness that something was rotten in the state started on an indelible Friday. Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas. The toxicity ran right through oil-patch-caused pollution and graft, Lyndon Johnson's Southeast Asian misadventures, dozens of Texas executions to the plutocracy of George W. Bush.
So go, Texas.
But be quick about it. The Trailblazers could use a pass on the rest of the series with the Houston Rockets? Remember, it's called the NATIONAL Basketball Association.

A hearty ditto to that! And really, I don't see any reason why "Austin City Limits" couldn't still be carried along with the wonderful Brit comedies, detective thrillers, European Journal, etc.
