Please tell me what is so great about North Carolina. I grant you it is a pretty place, but it has the homliest people I have ever seen. Seriously, whenever I go to a mall or department store I am amazed by the lack of attractive people. Besides they tax everything possible; even food.

Since most of us accept that liberalism is the measure of armpitness, why not get mathematical about it. Going by some list that was posted last night of each state's conservative rating in both Senate and House (I'm sorry, I don't know the source from which they got it), we can add up the two figures to see which state scores lowest on the conservative index. And the winners are....

1. Massachusetts (9)
2. Hawaii (15)
3. Rhode Island (38)
4. New York (39)
4. North Dakota (39)
4. Vermont (39)

California managed 40 points from their representatives alone, probably from the conservative middle, and finished out of the running with 47 points.

If North Carolina is so great, how come they elect Edwards and that Redneck TWIT Jim Hunt and are totally Dem on the local level.
