This is a New England phenomenon, Massholes fleeing their foundering Commonwealth seem suicidally bent on re-establishing in the surrounding states the socialist politics that made it sink.
Vermont gets the double-whammy. Nooyawkuz from the West, Massholes from the South. Not even our Holy Maine is immune, protected as we are by only a narrow string of NH liquor stores and outlet malls. And we are lucky, I guess, in that we seem to get a sort of higher-state-pensioned Masshole, who may not be classy enough for the swanky zones of Cape Cod, but trust me, is generally still several cuts above the truly obnoxious Massholes who make it here for the summer. They don't bring enough money for us to put up with them!
Speaking of money: Maine deserves reparations. We were kept as slaves until 1820, when the Congregationalists finally gave up on us after ripping off our natural resources. We want Reparations, Global Warming, and Forty Acres and a Mule. No Justice. No Peace.
