Sorry. Looks like 21 was being composed while I worked on 22. Second part still stands.

I recall that Texas’ other option was to divide into (up to?) five states.

I nominate Alaska for the pruning. As long as all Palins are forced to stay there.

Supposedly (and if anyone could tell me if it’s true), when Texas joined the Union they specifically retained the right to secede.

It is most definitely not true. Texas is a state by act of Congress and has no more right to secede than any other state. What we can do is split into up to 5 smaller states if we so desire.

If only they would exercise it…

Oh, please. There’s a decent chance that the Lege may wind up back in Democratic hands this year, gerrymandering be damned. We’re not all mouth-breathing, ignorant rednecks. Some of us are pretty damned intelligent rednecks. Remember Molly Ivins? Ann Richards? John Henry Faulk? Okay, so they’re all dead. That doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of others like them here.

I’m not necessarily the best judge of people or anything, but I think that it’s remotely possible that Jump-in-front-of-the-camera Blonde Lady just might have some unresolved personal issues. What do you think?

Ah, remember the good ol’ days when people at least had the good sense to be embarrassed by their ignorance.

Mr D. Pantload: After eight years of Bush, the Dow is down about 2,500 points. Since 1932, the stock market under Democrats has performed better than under Republicans. Ask your readers to look it up for you.

When are people going to start talking about the REAL reason the markets are down - Obama up in polls. If I was McCain, I’d start telling people, “If you want to lose more money, vote Obama.”

Silly Pantload. Everyone KNOWS the banks are controlled by the Jews.

Sounds like Jonah has been getting into Kudlow’s nose candy.

I saw the video above earlier today (I think the Poor Man featured it as well). Amazing. The interviewer was more composed than I would have been, and not too many people realized they were punking themselves just by opening their mouths.

And sadly, I think about the Golgafrinchans and the B Ark quite a bit. I should see if the relevant bits are on YouTube but watching the whole thing is worth it. NetFlix has it, of course.
