Hi everyone, Hermione here … having a good summer?

I say go for it Texas – be your own country, go all right wing nut, and while we’re at it, lets’s add a few other states to your master plan as well – Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Florida come to mind. I mean go for it all, oh noble and wise longhorns … you have your own grid and we all saw how that worked out. No corruption or incompetence there, you know, being non-Federal and all.

Do you really believe that independence is the God-given right of everyone? After you talk to women about that, once you secede and move the capitol to Waco which I suggest you rename Wacko, will you allow Austin to secede from Texas and become independent as well?

What about what you teach in your schools – will you rewrite the history of the Alamo so Jesus wins? As you become an independent oil-savvy nation, will you join OPEC? Are the rumors true that after independence, you want to buy Mexico because it costs less than you expected?

In case you do secede, here are a few new planks to consider –

** Guns for Peace swap – submit a handgun/get an AR 15
** People who own land get one and a half votes
** Pass the “Suck It Up Initiative” – outlaw divorce
** Yearly re-registering during Jesus Week to qualify for voting
** Award medals to Uvalde police for protecting each other
** Finance a (wall) hanging of Nancy Pelosi in the State Senate
** Outlaw all contraception except chastity belts
** Ban foreign languages
** Elect Clarence Thomas president of Texas
