Ain't it fun to be in on the ground floor?!

Please add my name to the growing (and sure to be huge) membership list. W is my first initial, and the rest of the qualifications are a perfect fit.

Although I'm not ready to advocate giving Texas back to the descendants of Santa Ana just yet (and throwing Dubya in with the real estate), I suspect that many others are. I hesitate only because of the good things that have come out of that state: Bob Wills songs, Willie and Waylon, Lone Star Beer, Molly Ivins, Sam Rayburn and Barbara Jordan, and others too numerous to mention here. Suffice to say, one bad apple does spoil a whole lot of the rest of the barrel, though. Unfortunately, this one got planted in a much larger field and threatens to louse up the whole orchard.
