With cities from Texas on this list, it has no more relevance to me than an erupting pimple on the back of a peasant boy who is laying in the grass behind a broken down truck in Ghana.

Real mature, I'll play along though

Don't be upset and jealous because the meth lab infested dump in which you live did not make the list

How can San Antonio not be in the top ten when it is the number one city to earn a living and jobs in Texas. Is there a bias there?

Minnesota, Austin, DC, Washington state, and Colorado (more or less) are quite liberal.

The cities of Dallas and Houston are quite liberal as well. As for the 'burbs, well they could be anywhere..

Texans are quite proud of the fact it's dirt cheap to live there and can employ every high school dropout across the country.

That's what makes a great state.

No, what makes a great state is the ability to give welfare to most of its citizens. Nothing like foodstamps and subsidized housing to say success like NY does
