Sorry, you must leave. I was her Austin friend first. Just kidding. :) But secondly, I read somewhere that there are as many people in the suburbs of Austin - Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Lakeway, Oak Hill, etc. - as are in Austin proper, so the Austin Metro Area actually has close to 1.5 million. Which is still just a tiny fraction of NYC's population, but I still wouldn't characterize that as tiny. Let's not sell our city short.

P.S. I can't believe 9/11 was already 8 years ago. That's almost a decade ago. THERE ARE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL WHO WEREN'T BORN YET WHEN IT HAPPENED. Effin' creepy.

We've been bottling this virus for years out on the Ett Farm and only recently released it on the public in the form of gas from the mouth of Susan Boyle every time she sings. GOTCHA, BITCHES! Your second question made me laugh out loud (LOL). Can we make it two palms pressed together and then flapping apart to mimic the wings on the pig in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWHOYZP9280" rel="nofollow">Flat Earth commercial</a>?

He's truly a humanitarian and a man of the people. 4 realz, though, the ex-president of our company used to cry whenever someone brought up 9/11. Apparently it was sort of a big deal.

While I totally agree that it was a stupid idea to fly a ginormous plane over the financial district for a photo op, I also think your mayor's a bit of a grandstander. I love all the finger-pointing, though. It's comedy GOLD. Think SNL will do something on it? Melodrama for real!
