In Texas, folks actually believe that the Texas flag flies at the same height as the national flag.

See there, in Texas America is lucky to even have a flag on the pole.

Charlie, your success in Texas must mean you are part of the problem.

Don't tell anyone though.

America will be all the better.

Hijacked?

No my dear, Texas is huge (you just said "big").

In fact, there is a different English dialect in West Texas (cowboy drawl) than in East Texas (closer to Cajun).

It is the second largest state with the second largest population.

See the real problem is not that Texas has hijacked anything, rather those teeny-tiny northeastern states have too much power. They should give their Senators to Texas and most of their political influence if you want real representation.

I tell you the truth--Ohio has hijacked America. Nixon said you run for President but you really run for Ohio.

If a Texan really cared about making his vote count this November he or she would move to Ohio.

Bad Ohio, bad. Hijackers.

Empty and crowded place thinking? Is this really the state of political discourse in America? If so no wonder America is in terminal decline... If I understood the proposition it states "those with a need for government live in crowded places and they are the ones trying to improve the efficiency of government"... Then I say "good luck" to the crowded place people with that project - they will need to sharply lift their game because surely the evidence so far is they are failing and failing dramatically... They are unable to improve K to 12 education, college education is becoming way too expensive, as is Obama Care Health, as is entitlement spending, government deficit financing, etc. The costs to future generations (in higher taxes, lost opportunities, decline of American innovation, etc) of crowded place people thinking when applied to the current Federal government run agenda is raising not falling...The growth of cities seems to be a continuing phenomena in the US and so it can be expected that crowded place thinking will come to dominate in C21st America as she declines... Surely with America's decline (through less growth, innovation, effective wealth distribution through paid work, lower impact of big unions without violence, decreased authority in foreign affairs and trade) comes an more pressing need for the dominance of government in people's lives backed by crowded place thinking...If this is the future of America then the real minorities by 2030 will surely be the vacant place thinkers not illegal immigrants, low income workers, poorly educated citizens, etc...Dominance of the crowded place thinkers is a good thing for those who belong to the push but it is not welcomed by the deviant vacant place thinkers who will become more vocal and violent as they claim to advocate democracy, diversity, and ultimately less not more government or less not more crowded place Groupthink...

By the way Charlie, Barclay misses you and YOU NEED MORE TIME WITH BARCLAY my friend:

2. What's your morning routine?

Before I took my position at "CBS This Morning," I would get up between 5 and 6, go to the gym from 6 to 7, come back and WALK MY DOG BARCLAY from 7 to 8. Breakfast at 8, then canvas the ten newspapers that arrive on my doorstep and patrol through the blogosphere. Then watch last night's television to see what I might have missed, before checking in with my staff about the day ahead. After lunch, a countdown focused on five o'clock and the first interview on "Charlie Rose," my nightly program on PBS.

Now I wake up just after 4 and start reading my e-mails, in case they relate to "CBS This Morning." Then I scan the papers for stories we are covering on the program. Finally I head out for CBS at 5:15. After spending the morning at CBS, I go to the gym, exercise, have lunch, have a nap, and gear up for "The Charlie Rose Show."

After my show, I try to have an interesting dinner, but always home by 9:30 and in bed by 10.

(You sleep while the world watches . . . well at least that is true with your real show.)

Yes Charlie, the Romney Dog.

What bothers me?

The dog had diarrhea on the roof of the car.

Why? Scared sh-tless? Bad diet?

So the dog and the car are hosed off and then the dog goes back on the roof in the cage.

So a wet dog zooming down the highway at what speed? Say 35 mph to give the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps that cooled off the dog or perhaps it sent the dog into chills with the wind chill effect and already having diarrhea.

Your dog "Barclay" might like his head out the window but surely that is not the same thing as being on the roof with diarrhea, just hosed off and zooming down the highway.

Perhaps Romney should have just held the dog down and cut its hair like he did to that blonde guy?

Forbes has a nice article:

"Bullying and Mitt Romney's Empathy Problem"

Thankfully this had nothing to do with feminism, or the dog. Ms Collins has reportedly mentioned Gov Romney's dog in articles an excess of 50 times. Recalls, tho I don't imagine is anything like, Molly Ivins. I decided myself the Constitution should be amended to exclude presidential candidates from Texas some time ago. But Virginia and Ohio might have received past consideration for many of the same reasons. Nevertheless, I think she misses the point about urbanity, which has always been involved in an emigre power grab, a battle between Court and Country, the West and East always at odds over taxes, trade and investment. Yet the "Tea Party," took place, and The John Birch Society remains, in Massachusetts. Large sections of Austin appear to be as politically correct as any, anywhere. Texas would seem to have had as much impact on Hollywood as Washington, and I would suppose a majority of those non-Mormon babies are Hispanic. Republicans, generally, as I wrote yesterday, do not like behavior mod - on the part of the govt, for sure. Ms Collins and Mr Lipsky must make an interesting pair, and I wonder just how you do go about teaching the writing of opinions (which I never read, incidentally, they appearing already in the news columns).
