I lived in Mass. for a year and a half, and I concur with everything you say.
There's a reason people from the Commonwealth (Freepers excepted) have the nickname "Massholes."
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.
