Right On Austin Bloggers Luncheon

Posted by Robbie Cooper on August 8th, 2008 | Trackback

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.
