Well, there is a healthy leavening of idiots out there, but let's not accuse Texas of being more idiotic than other places. Wasn't it Kansas that elected a state school board of creationists a few years ago(replaced now, thankfully)? And who was the anti-abortionist who our beloved leader recently appointed to a position with oversight of womens' health issues? Of course, Bushy is a Texan - sorta.

As I recall, Texas entered the Union with a proviso that it could split itself into three separate states. Maybe we should encourage them to do that, put Bubba and the rest of the nut cases in one of them (it can be the smallest, you know), and they can go their own way unencumbered by people with some awareness of the world around them.
