Which State is the Armpit of America?
Arthur Wildfire! March

Posted on 08/07/2002 4:23:30 PM PDT by Arthur Wildfire! March

Ok fellow freepers. The aristocracy had fun deciding which 'hick town' was the armpit of America. Naturally it had to be rural and conservative. A tad redneck.

They were way off the mark. I would have picked New York prior to 9-11. I mean, good grief. Hellery's husband pardoned bomb terrorists to get her elected, the scandal is exposed to every New Yorker and they elected her anyway? She was silent on the issue for at least a week. But well, perhaps NY had been reborn in blood. So, I'm tempted to give them a pass.

Arkansas? Could that be the armpit of America? The home of NationsBank, Tyson Chicken, Walmart, Web Hubbell, and the Big Creep himself?

Then there is the delightful state of New Jersy, which is batting a thousand at elected scandal-swamped senators. Not only the Torch, but also Corzine.

Some might choose South Dakota. Not only do they keep re-electing Timber Tom [also called Rushmore Daschle], but they also go three days without brushing their teeth. So many choices....

Maybe so, but Santa Barbara is as liberal as they come. Enjoy!

I'm sure it has a lot of good points. It sure beats NJ as far as beauty. Beauty can only go so far, however, unfortunately.

As far as states go, New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland are up there; although, each has some redeeming values.

For real armpits, you need to be more specific. Here's my rogue's gallery of USA crapholes...

MAJOR LEAGUE DIVISION
Washington, DC
Detroit, MI
Buffalo, NY
San Francisco, CA (probably the worst; a human stockyards)

MINOR LEAGUE DIVISION
Beaumont/Port Arthur/Orange, TX
Waterloo, IA
Gallup, NM
Gary, IN
New Haven, CT
Camden, NJ

Parts of the state are pretty and Jeb Bush is governor, but I would nominate Florida for the sole reason that it hasn't walled of Okeechobee and Glades counties (and the interior sections of Palm Beach county) from the rest of the civilized world.

which is at the bottom of the heap on education, incomes

I know what you are saying but, given what children are being taught in the top tier education states, and the amount some residents have to pay in taxes in those states, that is still not a reliable criteria.

Georgia the unshaven, unbathed, gritty, zitt ridden, motor oil stained, chewing t'bacckie redneck state.

Georgia voted for Bush last election. This eliminates it from arm pit contetion.

We (CA) provide the largest number of freepers I think.

We are also where Rush found his first audience.

I mentioned in an earlier post that we provided Ronaldus Maximus to the world.

Maybe it is the armpit, but there's plenty of us trying like hell to get the deodorant on!!! ; )

I was also born in Illinois and I do not share your opinion. Illinois is a wonderful state.

I think there are many good things about Illinois, including plenty of conservatives (with the exception of that one large city on the lake). Plenty of recreational opportunities exist in downstate Illinois, including boating, fishing, antique shopping, college football in the fall/basketball in the winter, a visit to Galena, some nice state parks.... Sure there is a lot of corn and more hog farms than you can count, but the climate and soil favor that kind of industry.

Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio is in Illinois, plus many other FLW houses. Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world, featuring excellent museums, the best pizza and hot dogs on Earth, and cultural and entertainment opportunities topped only by New York City. Need I go on?
