ah, texas. ain't it grand.

What are you talking about?

Some Texans have wanted to secede for going on 200 years. Using it as a generalization would be akin to saying that Americans want to invade Canada. Sure, there are some who do, but it is a minority sentiment.

The decision by FEMA to deny any aid to West because it "wasn't a major disaster" flew in the face of the president's promise that the needs of the citizens there would be met. The real argument would be why did Gov. Rick Perry lament not getting additional aid from FEMA when he triumphantly denied getting any federal assistance for his state when the economy tanked. That amounts to apples and oranges in my opinion.

Whatever you want to say about the special session is fine, it was about the abortion bill almost entirely. That's why he kept bringing them back.

Oh, and on the topic of this thread, the cover is disgraceful, but Rolling Stone is getting EXACTLY what they wanted.
