A twofer, I can build 'em and sell the locations to the cannibals when the shit hits the fan... does that make me a conservative?
I don't think we should wait until doomsday to start burying 'Baggers and 'Preppers in the desert. There's not a minute to waste.

Back on topic -

I don't think their bottom 50% ranking is anything to be terribly proud of.

So, why is it that a number of the states that are on the bottom of the list are run by Dems, have the highest taxes, and seem to be in lousy financial shape?

California
New York
Connecticut
Illinois

A bunch of Preps like DJ get together wearing collared shirts with alligators on them and talk about golf

If I could only do only one thing to change this country for the better, that would be it.
