Wow. Fucking Plano, Texas, where I spent a miserable childhood and my teens, a place renowned for producing bigoted, right wing cranks, and which for some reason keeps popping up in the news in unflattering ways:
Like this reference from a 2004 piece about Christopher Hitchens:
"Later, as Hitchens drives through the sterile Dallas suburb of Plano, he muses about the 'manicured bliss' of the lawns and the 'white, conservative, Christian, clean' population. 'I feel I could be very happy here,' he concludes mildly. Is he kidding? It's impossible to tell."
