Texas, It's a Whole Other Coutry -
Categories: | For whatever reason, the US Dept of State recently reported Hillary Rodham Clinton's travels to other countries since taking office, including Texas. It looks like the recent talk of seceding was ex post facto. Who knew? Forgive me for throwing this in with the important issues for Distict 1 but I've always been a proud Texan. I'll justify it under the moniker of Development, speculating that if Texas was a separate country that we would be richer than we are, that our economy would still be measured among the dozen strongest in the world, and that a lot of people would still be packing their belongings and headed here. I think Garland would do well in that environment, too, attracting new large businesses seeking sunshine and a healthy business environment. We could work it into our new marketing campaign that is starting! There are often such hoaxes on the Internet that inexplicably make some newspaper that no longer has the standards to actually verify what it reports. However, this report and the screen capture do appear to be valid. The State Dept website has been changed. The error has been reported at a number of places online, both at conservative and liberal websites. It appears that the Secretary stopped in Texas on her return trip from Mexico in March. The mileage now posted is the total of the two lines shown in the graphic. I doubt it would take long to change our official Texas Tourism motto! |
