A one-minute clip from the film Bernie in which a Carthage, Texas resident describes the five 'states' of Texas. It is a folksy bit of regional geography humor.

Anybody who says People's Republic of Austin (ref: Bernie movie: [VIDEO] ) is not on progressive wing is kidding. Also, Whole Foods is head-quartered in Austin, so there could be "synergy" there.
