I was in Redstateville's airport last nite. Where in the fuck do these people learn to dress? And where do they get their eating habits? I've never seen so much tortured polyester in my whole fucking life. Is it a requirement that most women in red states wear the "Jersey Claw"*? That shit hasn't existed even in NJ since INXS was last on the charts.

Wasn't this chart debunked as a fraud weeks ago?

• HillaryCare in Tennessee
  The disaster that might have been for the entire country.

  We think it was Justice Brandeis who said the states should be laboratories for reform. Regarding health care, Tennessee tried a decade ago and the price is now coming due. Hillary Rodham Clinton should call her pollster if she plans on carrying the state in 2008.
  
  In 1994, Tennessee passed what was then a very hot New Democrat idea--call it government managed care--a version of the reform the former first lady was also pitching nationwide. TennCare promised the impossible dream of politicians everywhere: Lower health-care costs while covering more of the "uninsured." They got the impossible, all right. After 10 years of mismanagement and lawsuits, TennCare now eats up one-third of the state's entire budget and is growing fast. Governor Phil Bredesen, a Democrat, is preparing to pull the plug and return the state to the less lunatic subsidies of Medicaid.

You're doing this on purpose, correct?

Not sure what you mean. In my typically post the bulk is on purpose, but there tends to be grammar and spelling errors that are not intentional. In short, my answer to you is "maybe."

"Maybe" you're an imbecile? Read your last post. You sound like the yokel who sold me gas in the sticks last week.

"And them over there, they got more cans of pop than we do here."

Oh. The "and them" was an affectation. I was trying to sound all Red State. Guess it worked.

Dunno. I don't read the Wall Street Journal opinion section.

Keep telling yourself that.

Lemme guess -- in the South the Dems got all the beer-swilling frog-gigging bubbas, and the Repubs got the people with graduate degrees. Right?

In the South we got both. Nationally, the exit polls show we won for Bachelor's or HS and you won for grad degrees and no degrees. I don't equate a grad degree to higher IQs than bachelor's.

You's impossible, Hank.

"we won for Bachelor's or HS"

Which was it? Or do you mean both? I'd say you meant the GOP won both, but later you write:

"you won for grad degrees and no degrees"

...which tends to indicate that you didn't mean "both Bachelor's and HS" in the earlier part of the sentence.

Clarify please. And use bullet points.

I try and post conversationally, since I'm pretty sure some of the lefties here are of the "no degree" type.

What do you try? You're a funny guy. A really funny guy.

That is a huge pet peeve. I make many grammatical/typo errors, but when I hear sopmebody say "Why don't you try and do it this way" or "I'll try an do that" its like fucking nails on a chalkboard. Nothing is worse.

OK... maybe "Lets go down the shore" (a phrase favored by Philadelphia area idiots) is worse.
