Guess we're out of luck on bequeathing them the No Child Bush policy.

Can't remember where I got this from, but it probably can be googled.

"When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States."

The Texas petition now has 87,958 signatures.

It is all a big joke. Nobody takes it seriously. Well, not yet anyway.

It is something different. Different sells newspapers and get viewers. Sells advertising.
