There’s a real sense of lost confidence. He is clearly weakened. The number of Texans who say they do not want him to run for re-election is pretty strong. But probably the greater sin is he made Texas look bad to other Americans. There were an awful lot of people who said he made the state look bad, and they were unhappy about that.

Poll: Perry approval rating lowest ever

If there’s one thing Texans are big on it’s pride.

Thanks, Casey! It totally needed to be said! One thing Casey left out is the texter/cell phone user who stops at the top of the stairs, completely oblivious to how he’s blocking everyone around him who’s trying to get into or out of the subway. Haven’t seen any walking texters in Austin yet, but I am worried about texting drivers.

Came across this video today and it really made me homesick for Brooklyn. I used to see these guys all the time at Grand Army Plaza and always said “No.” Now I finally get what’s going on.

It seems like Ron Paul is big Austin…much more so than Rick Perry…I think everyone’s embarrassed by his ineptitude as a presidential candidate.

Audit The Fed ~ Goodbye Food Hello GMO ~ Ron Paul For President ~ Save Muny ~ Took da Missus out for a bike ride this afternoon & had a cool convo w/the very nice older gentleman who owns this house. He was completely fed up w/#corrupt #Democrats & #Republicans. He’s worried that the #USA is turning into a nazi state. Told him I thought it was more like Mexico during the corrupt #PRI’s reign. I think he appreciated someone taking him seriously and conversing with him instead of shouting at him…even though you don’t agree on everything. Oh & he LOVED & RESPECTED the “kids” doing the #Occupy movement too. #OWS #BikeATX #cycling #ATX #politics #democracy  (Taken with instagram)
