Chuck Norris, You've Got a Phone Call

I had a great post all set for tonight, detailing my BEAUTIFUL and INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT and TALENTED daughters' achievements today... but I read something that scared the crap out of me so much that I'm shelving my parental pride until tomorrow.

In an article on CNN.com today, Chuck Norris was a featured interview because he released a memo about just how much he'd like to be President... of Texas.

I may run for president of Texas,” Norris wrote Monday in a column posted at WorldNetDaily. “That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”

Well, my goodness. For the first time in YEARS, a particular Texan didn't get the President that he wanted so he's gonna stomp his feet and threaten to walk out on the party. A little childish, isn't it? Hmmmmm?

The actor claimed “thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation” and said that if states decide to secede from the union, that Texas would lead the way.

Um, Chuck? The phone's for you. It's Homeland Security. They wanna chat.

“Anyone who has been around Texas for any length of time knows exactly what we'd do if the going got rough in America,” Norris wrote. “Let there be no doubt about that.”

Funny, I know a lot of people from Texas, and I've never known any of them to turn tail and run when things don't go their way. Maybe you're living in a whole OTHER Texas, where people "know what they'll do" when things get rough.

Chuck, you may not like the President or the current State of the Union, however, while you're sleeping snug in your fortified desert fortress, take a minute to imagine what Dubbya would have done a couple of years ago if, say, Michael Moore talked about joining a "cell" group.

I'm juss sayin'.

Oh and by the way, thousands of groups did ban together, legally, and then they VOTED.
