Now do not get mad at me. In Texas the word "sucker" can be a word of endearment.
But, here is the good news. According to CNNMoney, Harris County (most of which is Houston, Texas) is the sixth largest county in the U. S. of A in terms of millionaires. There are a whopping 99,504 of these suckers in this one little area. 1 out of every 100 millionaires in the country lives in Houston, Texas. Of course that still leaves plenty of millionaires for everyone else, but our millionaires are probably a little more bodacious than most. Sure Bill Gates is the richest guy in the World and he lives in Seattle, but then Bill is no Robert Durst who, having dressed up in women's clothing, killed a guy, cut off his head, disposed of the body, threw the head that was never found in the ocean, did not tell a soul, and when caught is acquitted for acting is self defense. Sure Durst was originally from New York, but he was one of us when he acted in self defense.
And then there is Kenny Boy. Enron. The crooked E. There are more millionaires in California than Texas but, man oh man, our millionaires took California for a ride during the energy crises. Kenny Boy at least had the good sense to die before he was sentence, erasing his conviction so his family could keep a good deal of the ill gotten gain.
Obviously, I am a little upset because I am bodacious and I do not have the money to show for it. You are just a little looked down upon in Texas if you are as bodacious as I am and you do not have any money. It is down right embarrassing.
All kidding aside, the number of millionaires in Houston show one thing - apart from the fact that Bush is President - and that is we have a dynamic economy and business environment in Houston.
