The United States of Shame

What is your state the worst at?

[justlurking]

Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, and Vermont have the same amount of political clout as Idaho.

Size of the delegation is just one of the factors that the source considered:

[Joe 6-pack]

The map doesn’t reflect the dirty little secret of Louisiana’s “gonorrhea” problem. It’s truly a prejudiced disease since it afflicts a certain um, racial demographic at a rate app. 20X everybody else in the state.

[trisham]

Massachusetts. Worst drivers? What?! LOL!

[brivette]

I agree; I too live in CT.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Me too. Can’t wait till spring....

[fish hawk]

Hawaii: the worst state for picking a Conservative for any political position. Ranks high though in making communist hippies as Governor.

[Daffynition]

NH ... knows how to get r dun! Especially in the Whites. No pansies. No complaining. NO panic.

[1st Division guy]

illinois, nearly everything

[Chuckster]

44. Utah: highest rate of of online porn subscriptions

[OneWingedShark]

31. New Mexico: antisocial claim based on lowest ranking in social heath policies ( http://www.lasg.org/NMecon05.htm )

LOL — They say it like it’s a *bad* thing.

[wku man]

The Idaho welcome mat's out for all conservatives. Leftists, big-L Losertarians, Muslims, et al, stay away.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

The worst thing they could say about Idaho was “weakest government influence”, i.e. most individual freedom?

If you look at their link, it's actually "least influence in congress."

[Adams]

I’m moving to Idaho!

[tbw2]

Weakest government influence - sounds like an advertisement FOR Idaho.

Porn Capital Ping

[Utah Binger]

My fantasy was to have a prostitute hold a gun to my head and demand sex. We used to sit out in the hay barn in 1957 and listen to Elvis, Ricky Nelson and the Everly Brothers sing their sexy pornographic songs.

And then there was “Oh Donna”. WOW what a girl.

Porn has always been a big deal in Utah.

LOL

[Bluebeard16]

Honest government.

I live in IL.

[a fool in paradise]

My state sent Sheila Jackson Lee to the House of Representatives.

[shield]

Oh please...she is in a district in Houston that is as black as the ace of spades...there has been more voter fraud that takes place there than probably any other district in the state. So don’t blame this Texan for Ms. Gorilla Jackson-Lee. The Great State of Texas didn’t send her...the residents in her district sent her to DC...

[Terry Mross]

My state sent her but it sure as hell wasn’t my district.

I was talking to a preacher from her district a few years ago. He was holding a fundraiser to make some money for a new church. I asked him if Sheila was going to be there and he said she never shows up unless there’s something in it for her. Yet they keep re-electing her.
