Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Texas.
Happy birthday to you.
The Republic of Texas was born 171 years ago today when forty-one recently elected delegates gathered at Washington-on-the-Brazos and unanimously decided that Texas should be free. They would no longer tolerate the dictatorship of Mexican President Antonio López de Santa Anna.
The revolutionary war escalated. The Alamo fell. Santa Anna was captured at San Jacinto. And, the rest is history.

I got so overcome with Texas pride this morning that I had to look up the words to our state song. (Turns out it's actually not "All My Exes Live in Texas." Who knew?)
Isn't the birthday song copyrighted? I wonder if you can be sued for e-singing it ...
This just in: As you type your comment it automatically appears below as a preview. I can't stop typing because I just want to look at the words magically appearing before me as if some there was some device that could process the letters onto the screen as I hit corresponding buttons...
In other news, your dumb.
Isn't the Yellow Rose of Texas the official song? Not that I didn't know you were joking.. but if we are going to go with George Strait, I would nominate "I Can't See Texas From Here"
Hi Red, looks like you'rE the one whos dumb.
So right, Sera. Thank God your someone whos smarter than I am.
