Rod Dreher may have agonized over leaving New York for Texas, but he’s been sounding pretty chipper lately–and if he’d had any lingering doubts about his decision, then Dan Henninger’s piece in this morning’s Wall Street Journal must surely have laid them to rest. As taxes, regulation, and political correctness produce their corrosive effects in the blue states, including New York and California, Henninger notes, ordinary folks are skedaddling to the red states, including Texas.

This great interior migration will have profound effects on our culture and politics, but the first thought to come to mind when I read Henninger’s piece was simply this: Rod done good.

Feeling better now, Rod?
