Post up!

[LynneSin]

1. Delaware is for Tax Free Shopping

[SOteric]

2. Er... Wood.

[TheMightyFavog]

3. Booze.

End of Line.

[davsand]

4. Crooked politics and indicted Governors.

The official state motto for Illinois is "Land of Lincoln" but we really seem to have elevated graft and corruption to an art form. We average an indicted Governor every ten years, and are well known for "Chicago politics" in spite of the convictions.

I was much amused to read about some flap over a Governor's hiring practices in some other state, because here in Illinois it is pretty much a given that just about any state job that pays over 40K a year is probably hired based on campaign favors owed rather than any real skill.

Politics is a blood sport here. We eat our young.

I'm not sure how any tourism board could spin this one...

And the other Oklahoma republicans that support all of Bush's policies and who don't support the separation of church and state.

[hippywife]

66. I don't even come close to defending

them. Have you looked closely at our Dem leadership in this state? Really? Many of them are republicans running on a Dem ticket because that's how you get elected in Oklahoma.

In short, I have no bloody clue whatsoever what MN stands for... :shrug:

[Angleae]

57. Washington: the land of perpetual rain.

Seattle if calle the Emerald City only because mold is green.:P

[chknltl]

60. Sure, you just keep perpetuatin' that myth my fellow webfoot

I was gonna call Western Washington Tijuana North because of all the Canadian shoppers. (I blame the 'bush'-whacked Dollar for that one). We have also lately become a clearinghouse for that awful, over-priced and over-rated BC-Bud! See, Tijuana North! Next thing you know, we will be getting roaming bands of drunken, out of control students from SFU and UBC every spring break lookin for cheap fun in Seattle!

Personally I am of the opinion that Western Washington should just form it's own state and let Eastern Washington do it's own thing. I say we take anything with trees for our side and let them have everything with hops or sagebrush. I'd want to keep the name Washington of course, they can call their side 'bushland' for all I care, most of those guys were silly enough to vote for him anyways. (Almost turned us into a red state last time around...how embarrassing was THAT!!??!!)

I am pretty sure we can pull it off too, those folks over in Eastern Wa. aren't so smart, look how long it took 'em to figure out why we couldn't keep a straight face whenever they would call their beloved W.S.U. "Wazzu"!!! (I still call it that btw). If we just keep tellin' them we need to raise taxes for I-5 improvements they will be glad to let us go on our merry way.

We'll get Gregoire, Inslee, McDermott, Murray and Cantwell. They can have that Doc Hastings fellow and what the hell, I'd let them have Dave Richert just to help even things out a bit. (Maybe make him the Mayor of Omak or Washtucna, that way he could take Cheney out pheasant hunting at some point)

Well that's my plan, we keep Puget Sound, the Cascades and the Seahawks, they can keep all those aging dams and...Hanford. Sounds fair to me... give 'em the Sonics too, one never hears the Seattle Rain bitchin' about Key Arena and those gals consistently have a better record anyway.
:hi:

[AwakeAtLast]

58. Indiana: Freepers with no teeth

[Trailrider1951]

69. Texas? A deranged "cowboy" wanna be who is afraid of horses

Kinda reminds me of a little tune I learned to sing as a wee child:

"I'd like to be a cowgirl,
But I'm afraid of cows!
Moo, moo, moo,
How they scare me!"


:evilgrin:

[RubyDuby in GA]

70. Bible thumping idiots

Whose chief (biggest idiot of them all - Sonny Bubba Perdue) prays for rain during out severe drought on the one day in months that it is predicted to rain on and then proclaims it to be a miracle and the morans of this state beLIEve him.

Oh, and do I even have to mention the one woman crusader against Harry Potter????????? http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/shared-blogs/ajc/norcrosstalk/entries/2006/07/07/beyond_harry_po.html
