Duke: Earl, did you know Trff was plotting a comeback? Earl: No, but don't offer to help... We can't afford some pro bono restoration gig. We're only taking paying clients now! Speaking of which, we've just been asked to rep a new breakaway republic. Interested? Duke: Not the Kurds again... Earl: No, Texas.
Actually I’m going to have to defend my great State Texas. True, I wasn’t born there; I was born in Kansas (Wichita), lived till age two-weeks old then set up home in McAllen and later to San ‘Tone where I lived with my Preacher father and Preacher’s wife Mother till I wa eight years old.
I CLAIM Texas. I LOVE Texas.
Just because it’s been overrun by harmful invasive thorny Bushes, alarmed by “poitically correct”-and-crazed-fear-mongers, and driven by wild ignorance-and-superstition fueled Teapartiers is no reason to abandon THE LONE STAR STATE.
Calling all true Texans! Arise! Unite! Shine! Stomp out the invasive species of Bushes! And drown out their cries for secession with, REMEMBER THE ALAMO! And THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS! Un-friend “W.Bush” and send him packing!
RECALL secessionist Rick Perry and send him packin’ outta State —all tarred ‘n’ Leghorn-chicken-feathered ‘n’ ridin’ on a sharp mesquite-wood rail chainsawed rough!
And MOST IMPORTANTLY vote the Texas Teapartiers outta the State legislature, outta the Governor’s Mansion, outta the court system, outta the U.S. House of Representatives and Outta the U.S. Senate.
My fellow Americans, recognize the NEW Great State of Texas!
