Especially Texas, which is a net "giver" where taxes collected versus pork returned is concerned. And now there is a new oil boom with the Eagle Ford shale, so we'll be "giving" even more. <br /><br />Busted, all I can think of is "Irish Eyes Are Smiling". I'm sure they'd love to be truly united once again, as the IRA once fought for. At least my Irish ass thinks so...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-45786790829021434452012-01-11T15:29:52.763-08:002012-01-11T15:29:52.763-08:00Demeur,

Granted, ties between the two nations were already quite tight given they shared the same royal family and all, but the Scottish government was bankrupt and got bailed out by the English, who, however, had, err, "conditions" -- as in, "give up your sovereignty to us". Which the Scottish thought about for a while, then said "Sure, what's our sovereignty doing for us anyhow, given that we already have the same King?!" <br /><br />- Badtux the History PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-21394122455393159582012-01-10T22:11:29.336-08:002012-01-10T22:11:29.336-08:00London and NY have been waging economic war on the...London and NY have been waging economic war on the rest of the planet for the last 300 years.nunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833886980442919570noreply@blogger.com
