Very true. And I saw the "Ever hear the phrase 'Don't mess with Massachussetts'?" banner on your page...
Once there was a Get Fuzzy comic where Rob says he bought Bucky the cat in Massachussetts, and Bucky says, "Oh great! I'm a friggin' communist!"
Get Fuzzy isn't usually political, of course, but Bucky is definitely the conservative, Rob is the liberal, and Satchel is just clueless (probably a moderate).
