So try not to be so hostile when badmouthing Texas because you're badmouthing someone's home!!

2. Just Two Reasons To Love Texas: Molly Ivins and William Cowper Brann

We all know about Molly; Brann wrote a column called The Iconoclast and was generally known as a son-of-a-bitch. So much so that he was shot in the back. Before dying, Brann stood and killed his murderer. He also wrote some wickedly funny things.

7. It's just like anywhere - some great people and some real asshats

and this is from someone from Texas with lotsa rellies (of all persuasions) still there.

For now I call it "the once-great State of Texas" - because until it comes out of its coma that's the best way to describe it.
