Texas winning; United, CA, HSR losing
A few quick misc items this week:- NYTimes: Texas is the future
"The Texas economy grew 3.3 percent in 2011, and the growth was broad-based. Not just oil, not just manufacturing. Texas now accounts for 8.7 percent of the nation’s economy, up from 7.4 percent a decade ago."
- The Washington Examiner: America looks like Texas, not like California (hat tip to Mark)
“If you draw a triangle whose points are Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, enclosing Austin, you’ve just drawn a map of the economic and jobs engine of North America.
Texas prospers not just because of oil and gas, but thanks to a diversified and sophisticated economy. It has attracted large numbers of both immigrants and domestic migrants for a quarter-century. One in 12 Americans lives there."
- I love this! From the very popular Cranky Flier aviation blog: United Blames Southwest, City of Houston for Its Own Problems in Houston, Earns the Cranky Jackass Award
- CA voters finally come to their senses and are turning against the high-speed rail plan there.

Is it weird that this flaming liberal likes the Weekly Standard *way* more than the Washington Examiner?
