Thats funny, I guess you can find something to whine and bitch about were ever you go.

Damn Mike, that is harsh to lump Texas in with the south, they have their own special club of haters. Plus ol' W. was born in New Haven, CT. Not exactly a southern boy, but he does play the part well with his Wyoming side kick. I guess we will have to claim the other two.....

sniff, sniff....I think I smell smoke....

Yeah, we had Gary "I dare you to follow me!" Hart. I find it incredible that W's dad may have been the best of the bunch.

And, son, I'm afraid Texas rolled with the Stars and Bars back in the day. They're yours ;)

While we're in the realm of literature, how about other famous sons (and daughters) of the South: Flannery O'Connor, Tennessee Williams, Tom Wolfe (both of them), Robert Penn Warren, Tom Robbins, Barry Hannah, Tom Robbins and the all-time demigods of literature William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy! Probably the rest of the country COMBINED will never top that!

Faulkner. Done.
