2nd gayest town in Texas
Here’s what happened in our little corner of heaven yesterday:

We made national news when our re-elected mayor skipped his swearing of oath into office because he was in Mexico. He decided to come out of the closet and told everyone he needed to be in Mexico trying to help his lover come into the states legally.
Ever smacked yourself on the forehead and asked “Why the HELL is this news???” And not just news… NATIONAL news.One of the comments posted on the story (before they became flooded and took down the comments section) was that per capita San Angelo has the second highest gay population next to Austin. Our new city slogan is, “Welcome to San Angelo, Second gayest city in TX!”
So now San Angelo is associated with two things according to Fox News:
1. Gay Mayors who resign to be with their illegal lovers
2. FLDS ranch polygamy raidThey forget to mention we’ve also got the dirtiest lake water in the 50 states. Don’t open your eyes underwater, you’ll get an STD.

Just come to Houston. No wait, we have Sheila Jackson Lee. You can stay.
Why is it national news? #1. Because if you’re a 24 hour news network, you NEED things to talk about for 24 hours. #2. Because it’s a neat story–with plenty of bonus talking points. An elected official who gives up the power of office=5 pnts. An elected official who gives up the power of office for love=25 pnts. An elected official who gives up the power of office for love to be with his inter-racial lover=30 pnts. An elected official in the U.S. who gives up the power of office for love to be with his inter-racial lover who happens to be a citizen of another country=45 pnts. An elected official in Texas who gives up the power of office for love to be with his inter-racial lover who happens to be a Mexican national…and they’re GAY=the collective heads of Lou Dobbs, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, and HLN to explode in an orgy of glee.
HOWEVER…
Be grateful Obama and Cheney chose yesterday to make their big head-to-head speeches, or this would have been THE national news story for the next week and a half…
Also, point of order. He’s not “illegal” in his own country.
My 2 cents…
*giggle, snort* I guess I moved away before it got exciting there… :0)
