Paul McCartney presented the award to Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell while in town for a concert two weeks ago.

Los Angeles, New York and Chicago round out the top five. Seattle is No. 6.

Austin's city motto - Keepin' Austin Weird. Home of Hippie Hollow, liberal UT and all those libs Perry is inviting to the Lone Star State.

I'm celebrating with a homemade pulled pork sandwich for dinner.

Spent this week in Bandera, Texas. Delightful part of Texas and totally anti-Austin and anti-San Antonio. Course we played golf on was sandwiched in between two shooting ranges. Lots of Bible thumping, pork eating, CW bar patrons and Conservative folks in that area. What a wonderful respite. Wish I could have stayed.

Austin is still living through the legacy of Texas being a Demonratic state.

From what I hear from friend that still live there it is getting a bit redder

Getting an endorsement from PETA is sort of like getting an endorsement of STDs from your doctor.

Isn’t there a lot of good BBQ in Austin? Those vegans don’t know what they’re missing out on.
