State Department Lists Texas As A Foreign Country

[Are_grits_groceries]

Texas Governor Rick Perry suggested after a tax day tea party rally that his state might consider seceding from the union.

"We've got a great union," Perry said. "There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot."

Texas Democrats ripped the governor for his secession talk, calling it "anti-American."

Unfortunately for Perry's detractors, the U.S. Department of State (until Friday morning) was with the governor on this one. On its website listing of 16 foreign countries visited by Secretary Hillary Clinton, State had Texas right there between Turkey and Switzerland.
