Let Texas Secede!

Austin, TX- Secession was the word of the day at the Texas governor's mansion a few days ago, as a crowd called for secession in the lone star state. I say; let Texas secede! Why? America is often looked at by the rest of the world as a "fat" and "obese" nation. Which city is the least healthy? Houston. Which state is that in? Texas. Also, the U.S. would save millions of dollars not only by letting Texas become its own nation, but we wouldn't have to build a fence at the border in that state, allowing the funds to be focused in the more western states. Also, Governor Rick Perry and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison wouldn't have to be seen debating on American tv when the time comes, why do I want to watch an old cow girl argue for single-sex schools against a religious zealot who plays baseball with the head of northerners? The only argument about keeping Texas is that my reasoning in this spoof makes more sense than the arguments being made by people who actually give a crap about this topic.
