So to PROVE to all of us that NY has ‘values’ the New Yorker put a picture of the Statue of Liberty on front, giving the finger big time, saying Drop Dead Ted. Well that doesn’t make us think NY is now nice and warm and loving! Makes it look like Ted was RIGHT! Sure NY held together during 911 but we do that during hurricanes, and the aftermath. But our Texas values are forever, not just for one day.
I grew up in Queens, NYC and spent three great years in Texas as a grunt for Uncle Sam at Fort Hood. Truly loved the small towns around the post, especially Belton Lake where we used to water ski and play who can stay on the skis the longest while the driver of the boat does everything in his power to launch you off somebody elses wake.
