I know — those “bombastic, boasting” Texans.

The lamestream labeled Sarah Palin and the tea party “provincial” in an article I read a couple of weeks back.

Provincial: person of local or restricted interests or outlook; a person lacking urban polish or refinement

You know — not an elite!

Once upon a time in Austin I had a very lovely Jewish girlfriend from ‘Lonk’ Island. At one point she muttered something about Texans being provincial. So, I took her to Buda, Texas, and drove her around, showing her Texas Hatters, the feed store, a tractor dealership and so forth.

Increasingly puzzled she finally asked exactly what was the point of this tour. I told her, “I am sure a number of people here in Buda have been to New York. You are probably the only New Yorker to ever explore Buda. I don’t want anyone to be able to accuse you of being provincial.”

A lovely woman, in very many ways. Sadly, somehow it did not work out.
