Texas gold

Bring it home!  The TX legislature approved plans to repatriate gold bullion (actually owned by the state university endowment, I believe) from the HSBC bank in NYC to a repository in Texas.

Why the heck not?  This isn’t a major issue, but the gold could be more advantageous here than in an out-of-state bank.

Only a handful of legislatures – all Democrat, of course – voted against the measure.  One of them gave a reason that made about as much sense – and was more honest – than most reasons Democrats oppose anything.

“Kirk Watson was one of four Democrats in the Senate to go the other way. Why? “Cause it’s weird,” he said.”
