Yep. And I live in Tampa- born and raised here. The area to the north of the city, New Port Richey and points north, seem to be a Masshole magnet. Long Island Yankee fans are also in great abundance there.
brohamie, I'd use your line, word for word, but I'm too dumb to remember it. I did have a pretty good win record for "High Q" though.
Sounds like a you're a card shark.
Good thing I have my poker face on.
(Strips off "gridiron" face. Puts on "poker" face.)
Don't hang your hat on those stats. The smartest people in those blue states voted for Bush.
"Hey, I go by the gun shop on my way to protest the abortion clinic! Y'all need anything?"
My husband is a psychiatrist.
His criteria in people has everything to do with
their treatment of other people, especially strangers.
For that reason and others, he chose to retire and live
out his life in the poorest state (Mississippi) which is
also the most charitable giving state in this nation.
Those who have the least, give the most.
I happen to agree with him.
BTW, on this "thang" note that Mississippi is rated # 50.
Not measurably though.

And as I'm driving by, I'll have Hava Nagila cranked up to "11".
That should surely scare them!
And yes, that's an old Slings and Arrows joke that I still remember.

METHODOLOGY--This second Smartest State designation is awarded based on 21 factors chosen from Morgan Quitno’s annual reference book, Education State Rankings, 2004-2005. To calculate the Smartest State rankings, the 21 factors were divided into two groups: those that are “negative” for which a high ranking would be considered bad for a state, and those that are “positive” for which a high ranking would be considered good. Rates for each of the 21 factors were processed through a formula that measures how a state compares to the national average for a given category. The positive and negative nature of each factor was taken into account as part of the formula. Once these computations were made, the factors then were assigned equal weights. These weighted scores then were added together to determine a state’s final score (“Smart Rating” on the table above.) This way, states are assessed based on how they stack up against the national average. The end result is that the farther below the national average a state’s education ranking is, the lower (and less smart) it ranks. The farther above the national average, the higher (and smarter) a state ranks. This same methodology is used for our annual Healthiest State, Safest and Most Dangerous State and Safest/Dangerous City Awards. The table above shows how each state scored in Morgan Quitno’s third annual Smartest State Award. |
Oh! They let us win so President Bush and the R'ahs can really screw things up and set up a Hillary run in 2008.
(And they call us ignorant! Geezz!)
What's the talk on the street about the upcoming elections?
What's up with all this talk about postponing the election over there?
Is that from the people fearful of voting or the different sects postering themselves?
I concur.
