Because, frankly, we don’t believe that Austin is at weird as the slogan implies. We don’t believe that Austin is as Liberal as most think it is. We believe that the Liberals are just more vocal and better organized that we are.
And what Congressman McCaul was doing was talking to gas customers about the high cost of gas, and what they — the consumer and the voter — thought that Congress should be doing about the high prices of gas.
So, instead of doing the responsible thing and cutting spending — the Dems are doing what Dems do…raising my taxes. Again:
It’s no secret that Obama is anti-second amendment. His voting record and his past words and actions are clear about that.
What was most apparent today was how many lives Chuck touched — and across an amazingly diverse swath of people. And they all had stories about Chuck’s kindness, his honesty, and his love of life.
I bet this won’t stop the Statesman from officially endorsing him come November, though. I’ll link back to this post as a reminder as soon as they do.

I guess Texas Observer staffer Forrest Wilder drew the short straw and had to attend the civil, not depressing, not angry, Conservative summit while the rest of his blogging buddies were at the Nutters convention.
Also spent about an hour after the speech by Robert Novak (which totally kicked ass, and I’ll write more about it in the morning) talking to Terry Reid, who worked in the White House for the Reagan administration. I’m going to help her straighten out her Facebook page tomorrow.
And the one Conservative blog? Yep, as part of their Netroots Nation coverage, they also have a nice little profile of UrbanGrounds (with a link, and they actually got my blog name right this time).
Afternoon session II with David Almacy (the guy responsible for designing the current White House web site, and inventor of Barney Cam).
