The Washington Post asked ten writers what they would get rid of while doing spring cleaning.

Texas, of course, made the list.

I cannot tell you the number of emails I get every day from people – some are perfect strangers – asking me to help Texas secede.

I live here, y’all.  That’s just rude.

I know the NRA had a convention here in Texas, but they did it in a city with a gay liberal mayor.  Why they picked Houston, I dunno.  Houston is blue.  I think they expected to see people walking through Discovery Green – Houston’s Central Park – with weapons strapped to their hips and wearing cowboy boots.  It’s too damn hot to wear boots in Houston and heavy leather belts are outta the question.  So is walking most days.

So, if Texas has to go, can Houston stay?  How about Dallas; it’s blue?  And the Rio Grande Valley. It’s full of good Democrats.  And Austin, well, except for that SXSW thing.

I can see your point about East Texas, Armadillo, and especially Waco.

But, Houston?  Please not Houston.

Thanks to Mom’s Hugs for the heads up.
