The NYT trips over Texas

Even the true believers are having a hard time not committing heresy:  the NYT notices that TX is different and it causes them to recoil like vampires confronting a crucifix:

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” Their reports, Erica Grieder writes, have contributed to “a widespread impression that Texas is corrupt, callous, racist, theocratic, stupid, belligerent, and most of all, dangerous.”

That is, dangerous to the worship of FDWH, the Federal God above all Gods from whom all blessings flow.  But even progressive demons must eventually acknowledge the Truth:  markets work and state corporatism doesn't.  

It turns out that reality is a cowboy booted, six shooter totin' bitch that scatters horrified metrosexual bien pensants before her.

Yee.  Haw.
