That settles it.

Via Steyn, a Russian analyst is predicting the bust-up of the US. Yawn. These predictions get old, but at least this one comes with pictures.

If these things come to pass, I'm moving away from the California Republic as soon as is humanly possible, hightailing it for the Texas Republic. I doubt it will fall under Mexican influence (have you ever met a Texan?), and I'm pretty sure it'll be one of the last places personal freedom will be respected. Also, I've always wanted to visit the deep south.
