Ham sandwiches and Obama

A Nassau NY, judge was once quoted by novelist Tom Wolfe that a district attorney "could indict a ham sandwich if he wanted to".  Likewise, the Republican majority in the House could impeach the President, according to a Texas congressman.  On what grounds he did not elaborate, but the sheer stupidity and racism showed through.  I think we ought to take governor good hair up on his threat to secede from the union.  It would certainly raise the average IQ of the rest of America.  It would also save the country a ton of money.  The lone star state gets far more money from the federal government than it contributes in taxes, so it looks like a win-win situation for the country as a whole.  The Gerrymandered congressional districts in Texas promote the most extreme demagogues at the expense of rationality and civility.  How else to explain Louie Gohmert to the rest of us.  The coming demographic tide of Latino voters will probably turn Texas democratic in a generation or two.  They can then petition to be readmitted to the United States.  In the meantime, let them work out their issues with evolution, climate change and science in general.  The spectacle would be worth the price of admission.  Or at least the cost of a ham sandwich.
