an interesting place. Arizona and New Mexico need a few more conservatives to offset immigration from the South and West.

of course Austin is nearby and kind of weird, but has some nice things too. The best city is San Antonio.

They still open carry their Peacemakers strapped to the thigh, open the door for wimmen, call wimmen “darlin” and “little lady,” drink their whiskey straight, shoot trespassers and burglars, volunteer to patrol the border, and beat up hippies and medical-marijuana-smokers on sight. That might keep the Kalifornians out.

While I think it’s clear that Nicolle Wallace had something to do with all the trash talking about Palin that came out of highly placed insiders in the McCain campaign, it is now becoming even more clear that Steve Schmidt and Wallace’s husband Mark Wallace were really at the heart of it. Read Mark Hemingway’s piece over at The Corner.

yesterday in the BIAP area…i was cross-leveled to a unit from TX, and she was here in Iraq to visit the troops. I asked her a couple questions about the energy bill, government intrusion in the markets, etc. She was interesting, but her aides sure knew what they were talking about. I guess that’s probably true of most Senators.

BTW, there was a time when the San Antonio Express-News was the Conservative paper, but that was before 1993. Liberalism is getting to more common in the Newspapers here in Texas. Also, I thought I would never have to read Rick Casey drivel since he left the Express-News, but I manged to more to the same place he did.

but if you’re looking for a good conservative area with great weather (15-20 deg cooler than Phoenix, 15 degrees warmer than Flagstaff, with 4 seasons), great scenery, not too big but not too small, 100 miles from a big city (Phoenix), 100 miles from the most majestic locale in the continental 48 (Grand Canyon), a day’s drive from the beaches of SoCal, and lots of houses for sale MUCH cheaper than a few years ago, you just can’t beat Prescott, Arizona. Oh, and home of the World’s Oldest Rodeo and the site where Barry Goldwater kicked off the ‘64 campaign. The only downside is there’s not a lot of industry here, but since you’re a computer consultant you probably generate most of your business online anyway, so does it really matter where you live from a work perspective?

I’ve lived in Texas three times, and this time I might become a Naturalized Texan. I was never so proud as when Houstonians took in the refugees from Hurricane Katrina, and we referred to them as “our new neighbors”. And though we got pasted by Hurricane Ike last year, within hours neighbors with chainsaws cleared the roads in our subdivision, began to cut people out of their houses if they’d been hit by too many trees, and for us, came with tarps to cover our roof. We don’t wait for FEMA down here.

Folks here is frien’ly, y’all.

One warning - a friend who lived in the Panhandle said that every house has a small hole in the front door. When asked what it was for, he said it is a crowbar hole. Every day, you stick a crowbar handle through that little hole. If the crowbar bends, it’s too windy to go outside.

but heh, I guess the inner city ebonics or spanglish is not quite something you can do, but you sure do have your redneck down perfect. I just wish redneck would have kept the carpetbaggers out of Virginia.

We of the Phi Beta Kappa crowd in dear old Texas do not do inner city “speak.” But if my meager efforts to cause alarm to the rather insular sensibilities of the Yankee carpetbaggers and the smaller political divisions of the Left Coast do not engender a risible effect…

So solly, Challie… heh.
