Oh thats just a flippant remark in regards to the state that produced two presidents that I do not hold in high regard. Actually, I think I would like to go to Texas...some of my favorite music comes from Austin.
Well, technically, New Haven, Connecticut produced Dubya, and Massachusets produced George Senior :-)
The Bush Family came to Texas to cash in on the oil boom and stayed for the tax breaks and to cultivate a cowboy image while keeping their bidness squarely on the East Coast.
Seriously, if Dubya wanted to legitimately claim Texas citizenship, he should have gone to college there instead of Yale and Harvard -- Lyndon Johnson got his degree at Southwest Texas State, and still made it to the White House.
LBJ was a born-and-bred Texan, so I suppose if he's one of the Prezes you don't care for, we *do* have him to apologize for.
Many parts of Texas are lovely, but its political system has always been uglier than the inside of a hound dog's ear.

The Austin music scene is a wonderful thing.

Thanks though for filling me in. I always appreciate when someone informs me about something I didn't know!
