Ah, Texas leads the nation! Cynically does the plutocrat kneel. He mumbles a few pious words and sprays a few coins into the mouth of the religious super-patriot who has temporarily dropped his guns and has no eyes, while robbing him gleefully from behind.

We witness this time-honored Texas symbiosis spreading across America, blessed by a televangelist tasting the delights of earthly power!
