Surprise. With the exception of Montana, the center of poverty is the center of the Repub base in the South. Poor education=low income, in the middle of the Bible belt. No surprise, cuz it's always the same. The bad news? The votes from these junior high dropouts count the same as mine. Just doesn't seem right, as the Repubs use this base to further their 'no-science' agenda.

Not my relatives, as in intermarryin' which sorta explains how marryin' your cousin ain't that good, but helps make the base of the Repub party. Hey, you can either go to school, or enjoy yo kinfolk.

or enjoy your kinfolk in school. The Pubs are Yaleies or Harvards. There certainly was much intermingling way back when, cousins marrying cousins; oops almost forgot Franklin Roosevelt married his cousin Elenore and became one of the most beloved Democratic presidents of our day.They had 11 intelligent children. Well shucks, guess we have a stale mate. The Roosevelts were from the north, as were most of the wealthy Republicans who married cousins, so maybe your southern standard isn't so correct afterall, son.

Thank you for proving my point, as I read your Southern comment.

It wasn't a "southern comment" that I made, nor was I attacking the south. The wealthy were known for marrying within their ranks, usually within family to keep the title. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, for example are cousins. (Just look at Anne and Charles to see what inbreeding can do).
If you take comfort in your belief that the south is a bunch of toothless, drooling knuckle draggers, best check your genealogy records before shouting from the rooftops, dear.

The Roosevelts had 6 children..5 survived to adulthood. I was incorrect. I guees it's because I was born in Oklahoma and my mother was born in Tennessee. DUH!

I just report on reality and the South is consistently low education/income, which wouldn't bother me cuz I don't live there. BUT, they have a way of banding together, in the form of the Repub party, and putting a dufus like GW in power, to wreck my country. THAT'S whata pisses me off.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
