It looks like someone wants to get a jump on the Texas Secession Movement by selling them on eBay before they hightail it out of the union.

This actually strikes me as s fairly reasonable way to offset all that bailout money.  And there shouldn't be a shortage of bidders - Mexico, China, Drug cartels, Right-wing militias...TX does have all that wide open space, perfect for people, military maneuvers or guerilla operations.

Unfortunately,  bidding starts at $100,000 or I would have made an offer myself.

Remember when this was the standard Republican response to any questioning of the Bush Admin's growing repository of police-state powers and executive branch abuses?

Guess what.  Now the shoe's on the other foot, and the foot is screaming for a podiatrist.
