Texas is Number One - AGAIN!

This is Sunshine Week and we are proud to announce that Texas is -- again -- Number ONE! in on-line transparency. Yes, read it and weep, Californians - Sunshine Week  

We have written on it: AFP Responds to Texas' Rank as No. 1 in Transparency 

Here is Gov. Perry's press release: In Case You Missed It, Texas Ranked #1 In Online Transparency (it outlines what 20 categories are considered in determining online transparency). 

We realize the virtues of Texas are far too great to enumerate...but we will name just a few...
#1 - Texas: State Online Transparency
#1 - Texas: Job Creation -
- in the 12 months ending in January 2009, Texas gained 19,900 jobs...
- From December 2007 to December 2008, Texas accounts for 80% of the entire job gains in the nine states with increased employment
- In the past 5 years, the Texas economy added over 1.2 million new jobs.
#1 - Texas: Most Fortune 500 Companies
#1 - Texas: Top State For Business
#1 - Texas: Fastest growing state in the country
#1 - Texas: More wind energy than any other state (some people would just say more "hot air")

In short, Texans don't think in terms of the audacity of hope but in the certainty of superiority.

OK, I know humility is a virtue - this bloggers' apologies for the last comment.
