Yup. Secessionists and teapartiers and wingnuts.... oh my.

What, was this guy too busy to come?

Olbermann tackles Texas secession

In his "WTF Moment" on Countdown, Keith Olbermann takes a look at what would happen if Texas actually followed through on Governor Rick Perry's threat to secede if the federal government doesn't leave Texas alone.

FEMA has given texas $3 billion. Ike cost another $1 billion. Guess who has to pick up those costs in an independent Texas? NASA and Fort Hood provide $8 billion to the Texas economy.

The U.S. gave Texas students another $1 billion in Pell Grants in 06-07. Who's going to make that up? Or maybe that can let that go - appears to not be money well spent anyway.

Sure it looks dire. Still, it seems like a good idea. Can we send Alabama and Mississippi with them?

Secessionist Texas receives more federal aid than anyone

(Bob Cesca)
On Governor Perry's watch, Texas has received the most federal funds of any state for disaster relief -- quite literally redistributed wealth "from Nebraskans and Virginians and New Yorkers and Alaskans with their Eskimo poetry."

Further quoting President Bartlet: "Can we have it back, please?"

Texas douchebaggery

So Gov. Rick Perry of Texas asked the C.D.C. to send 37,430 doses of Tamiflu. This is the same Rick Perry who threatened to secede from the union less than 2 weeks ago. Perhaps we should send all of Texas' Tamiflu to states who are happy to be in our little union. Perhaps Texas can conjure up some Tamiflu by reading Ayn Rand? Wouldn't a real way to "Go Galt" be to turn away government attempts to save your ignorant lives interfere?

Perhaps Rick could buy some Tamiflu from.... oh wait, if you secede then all you have are LoneStar Bucks. Good luck buying medical supplies with your fairy dust of a currency.

Dipshits.

Texas wants to secede? Need help with the paperwork?
