He was born and educated in New England!! His parents are Yankees too. I don't know how many times this has to be said before people get it through their thick heads. Just because you move here and put on a cowboy hat doesn't make you a Texan. It's amazing to me that the same people calling everybody in Texas an idiot, can't absorb this simple fact.

So hard, in fact, that we don't have enough energy left at the end of the day to waste any thinking. That's why we always let others do our thinking for us - preacher, politician, neighborhood gossip - it don't matter who, as long as they don't have much in the way of book-learnin'. If you doubt that, look up the grades of our favorite son, the Shrub! Life has always been hard here in Texas.

In order to be a Texan you must have been born here, period; Bush is a Yankee fool playing to the bible belt which there are plenty of here. I stood in line for 2 hours to vote this week along with my fellow Obama supporters. I think America will be quite surprised at the Obama numbers from the large cities here in Texas. I even think Obama may win DFW, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso. Austin is a given; it's just the rural areas that will be the question.
