We like Austin. It has a nice blend of high-tech, academicia and young student population, government types, a little bit of Western, a little bit of Mexico/Latino, a little bit of "weirdness" ("Keep Austin Weird") and, yes, not as right-wing as the rest of Texas.

Well, I loved living in Austin back in the early 70s, but I&#39ve been told since then by a few different Texans that Austin isn&#39t really a part of Texas. ;-)

"Of course we also have Cut and Shoot, Gun Barrel City, Bangs, Rankin "

But fear not, anti-gun crazies. The state&#39s heart is Brady.

Tidbits:

We don&#39t have a peyton Place in Texas, but we certainly have a Lolita, and a Camelot, and Twitty.

Of course we also have Cut and Shoot, Gun Barrel, City, Bangs, Rankin

And Muleshoe, Skidmore, Study Butte, Needmore, Notrees, Dripping Springs (I lived there, lovely town), Oatmeal, Chocolate Bayou and Smiley

Let&#39s not forget Bagdad, Egypt, China something, Paris, Turkey and of course Bushland.

Does this mean Liz Cheney will spend months in Texas talking nonstop in defense of her dad&#39s endorsement? And, how will Levi&#39s nude photo-shoot impact the outcome? Is there a Peyton Place in Texas where everyone can move his/her campaign headquarters?

Maybe secession isn&#39t such a bad idea afer all.

Good luck Dorian.

Lord, save us from Texans. You know why they drive those big pickup trucks, don&#39t you? Because they have to have something to haul their egos around in.
