Texas may Seceed, Chuck Norris to be President
I am not even joking.
Mostly, this is just political rhetoric, but the Texas governor stated at the "Texas Tea Party" that it may be time for Texas to start thinking about being its own country again. This is because of inept fiscal policies of the federal government.
The best part is that Chuck Norris stepped up and publicly stated that he would run for President of Texas. I am not kidding. Seriously. This is true:
From CNN
“I may run for president of Texas,” Norris wrote in a column posted at WorldNetDaily. “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”
Of course, it is really just political posturing, but it must be understood that Texas still feels itself very far removed from Washington, and with the big W out of the White House, it feels completely left out with the current Harvard-professor leaning, liberal minded, Obama Administration.
Texas has gone so far as write up legislation reasserting state sovereignty over federal mandates. The yet to be passed legislation, which has gained wide support, states that "all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed."
This actually overall makes me very very happy. The main reason is I think there is very little legitimate constitutional basis for the way in which the Federal government is currently operating. My hope is that a re-assertion of State power will limit the idiocies of D.C. The downside to this is that I have no evidence that State politics are in any way less idiotic, but for a number of reasons I still think it is a good idea.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.
