LOL, the weather is really not so bad, and after living in a Montreal winter for several weeks, no thank you.

Politically, the biggest of the assholes want the rest of us to leave, which makes me want to stay more. These motherfuckers will not steal Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt and Molly Ivins and Anne Richards and Chopped & Screwed and Tejano and Tex-Mex and delicious motherfucking brisket from us.

I still believe there is a better Texas, though I concede there will never be a perfect Texas.

I feel that as an Ohioan. I’m here half out of spite and half out of inability to find a job in the northeast or Chicago.

It’s a hellhole here, but it’s my hellhole and we were supposed to be a purple state that matters none of this fashy bullshit. Fuckin hell these confederate flag waving motherfuckers better get the hell out of the home of John Brown and Ulysses Grant
