Jay: My favorite, natch, is Hell, Michigan.

But since you’ve mentioned Texas, let’s consider the related category of names of places that should be somewhere other than where they are. For instance: San Diego, Texas. I mention this one because there’s a WFB connection: His father, WFB Sr., was born in this little town, in boonies between San Antonio and Laredo.

Years ago, before I knew this piece of conservative arcana, I was researching the political demography of South Texas. (Details here, if you’re super curious.) In particular, I was looking for Hispanics in the region who were also Republicans. There aren’t many. But I did track down a few — a very few. And one of them was the mayor of San Diego. Maybe there’s something the water.
