Cited as a joke or illustration in threads about Texas geography and speech.
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.
One BIG thing worth noting is Texas, almost formally, redefines the cardinal directions [1], so it's even harder to parse what up/down/out/over are. [1] [this video]
Anybody who says People's Republic of Austin (ref: Bernie movie: [this video] ) is not on progressive wing is kidding. Also, Whole Foods is head-quartered in Austin, so there could be "synergy" there.
