Texas Secede? We Wish?

I love a good short video laying out the truths, convenient or otherwise:


The Texans would always tell me they could because they were extra-special.  But no.  Plus the Texas secessionist movement that existed when I lived there had its embassy in a trailer in Texas.  The big mistake is not the trailer but the location--you put the embassy in another country.  Jeez.

Anyhow, this whole Texas secession thing now is just a small minority of sore losers.  Anyone can vote on silly petitions on the White House website.  For a while, there was one insisting that we build a death star... Really.  Now that is a healthy dose of perspective sauce.
