A little friendly advice. Put up a barf alert or face the wrath of the administrative gods.

[jwalburg]

I think much of it has to do with the idears.

[MonroeDNA]

You forgot the barf alert.

The Big Dig state... Hey John if you can't even control a construction plan in one state from getting so out of control how will you control 50 states.. .You are clueless..and probably at fault for the Big Dig...

Smell the air....

[barbelmohr]

Thanks - I guess I'll get ZOTTED for this, but I'm interested in hearing opposing views.

[thingumbob]

Okay well here's some more names to get use to:

Mass @ss a few suits

Tax my @ss and a few suits

Liberal =Bad, Liberal, Liberal = bad

There that felt good.

> I think much of it has to do with the idears.

Idears? Pls explain.

In fact, I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've heard any liberal sneer at any state of the union, and the people who did the sneering were usually morons

I see it happen all the time. I see it within' states as well.

District of Columbia, where I live, which eats an appalling $6.17 for every dollar of federal revenue it kicks in.

WOW! Something to tell the whiny-a$$ crybabies who have: "Taxation without Representation" on their DC plates.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Its amazing that the country has lasted several centuries without these meritorious planners and government bow-wows.

Having grown up in the northeast I can tell you that the attitde towards people down south is appalling. Superiority doesn't come close to the way that the upper class elitists view folks south of the Mason-Dixon line. Yet, the NE is full of liberal ideology that is what keeps those "poor and oppressed" minorities down through soft bigotry and lowered expectations.

Go figure

Boo freakin' hoo. Any state that repeatedly elects Kennedy and Kerry, has such a high cost of living and higher taxes, violates its citizens' Second Amendment rights and has a mess like the Big Dig deserves the ridicule. Believe me, I'm from the state that has sent Robert C. "Sheets" Byrd to the Senate for the past 125 years, and we deserve a certain measure of ridicule, too.

[misterrob]

Oh boy, West Virginia...

Let the jokes begin.

[cinives]

OK, we now know how the author feels, along with the requisite liberal knee-jerk untrue canard about Bush avoiding military service; how about the facts ? Taxachusetts legislators are not liberal because ... why ? {waiting} Don't they teach people to back up their arguments with facts anymore ? {still waiting}

Message for the bed wetting Liberal who wrote this garbage:

It's Massachusetts who keeps electing the extreme liberals

[Betis70]

That is how the word "idea" is pronounced by some people in Massachusetts.

My New England accent comes out once in a while and usually freaks out my California friends.

[GSWarrior]

Think Cuber!
