Notes From An Old Conversation

Apropos this article from Gadflyer.

Christmas, 2001:

My Brother: "Did you know that Texas is the only state in the Union that is a member voluntarily?"

My Mother: "Yes. And I wish they'd secede and take their carpetbagging President with them."

Update: It bears repeating here that Shrubya is a Connecticut Yankee Blueblood. Anyone who thinks otherwise should promptly secede from the Union and take their carpetbagging President with them.
