A friend of mine forwarded this to me today, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was compiled by a UVa professor, too, so that's a nice little bonus. Read on, fellow citizens.
THINK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
With the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, over 90% of our pineapple and lettuce, 92% of all fresh fruit production, 93% of the artichoke production, 95% of America's export quality wines, 90% of all cheese production, 90% of the high tech industry, most of the US low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Stanford, Berkeley, CalTech and MIT. We can live simply but well.
The Red States, on the other hand, now have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care cost spike), 92% of all US mosquitoes, 90+% of all tornadoes (sorry about that, you'all in Kansas), 90% of all hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all Televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, and Bob Jones University, Clemson, and the University of Georgia. A high price to pay for controlling the presidency.
Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually eaten by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44% believe that evolution is just a theory, 53% that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11, and 61% believe that Bush is a person of moral conviction.
