austin tx

it's like some bizarre never never land
an strange island of blue in a sea of red

a confusing mishmash of conspiracy theorists (e.g. alex jones)
militant vegans
aging hippy cowboys (e.g. willie nelson)
stoned musicians
fading movie stars (e.g. sandra bullock)
fading atheletes (e.g. lance armstrong)
liberal democrat tax and spend obama-philic politicians
lawyers of all flavors and predilections
right wing nutjob republican bush lovers
university of texas longhorn football zealots
texas a&m zealots who try cautiously to keep a low profile
katrina refugees (including some great chefs)
people from all over the world

many from every group are very intelligent
and they agree on absolutely nothing at all

it is the wierdest city on earth without a doubt
