Florida should take back the land they gave to AL and MS. Florida should extend to current day Louisiana as it did way back when.

What do a divorce in Alabama, a tornado in Georgia and a hurricane in
Florida have in common?

Spoiler:

I just received Alabama's new state quarter.

FYI. Given that Alabama has a disproportionate black population relative to the country at large, your comments would likely be considered racist by the Obama justice department.

You really should visit New Orleans. Other than that, I respect your decisions on "never step foot in" states.

Yeah, I've been meaning to travel there, but I've never lived all that close to it.

Once the good people of Massachusetts had their health care taken care of, it freed them up to spend more time thinking about math and science. RomneyCare FTW!

Exit polls say 8 in 10 were Evangelical Christians. More then half say Romney is not conservative enough. That is not good for a Romney close but he could still feasibly pull it out.

As The Redneck Manifesto boldly points out and brilliantly demonstrates, America's dirty little secret isn't racism, but classism. While pouncing incessantly on racial themes, most major media are silent about America's widening class rifts, a problem which negatively affects more people of all colors than does racism. In a nation obsessed with race, this book switches the focus firmly back toward class, and it warns in a voice loud and clear that America will never learn the true meaning of tolerance until it learns to embrace the redneck.

Until this book, no one has so fully explained why white trash exists in America. Tracing the unique historical diaspora of America's white poor, The Redneck Manifesto offers evidence that mass forceful deportations of white slaves and convict laborers from the British Isles formed the bulk of America's white underclass. Tracing the history of these people, the book probes the hidden cultural meanings behind jokes about inbreeding and bestiality. It gets its hands dirty with blue-collar frustration, recreational desperation, and religious salvation. It discusses the value of Elvis, Bigfoot, and space aliens as objects of spiritual veneration. It offers solid logical defenses of tax protest, gun ownership, and antigovernment "hate speech." And it lists surprising reasons for why rednecks and blacks have more in common with each other than either group does with white liberals.

DE is interesting cause it's a common drive through state in the mid-Atlantic.

Today, Wookie learns that there's a bridge from SE Maryland to Virginia Beach.

That said, I-95 looks like a more direct route from just about anywhere to just about anywhere up and down the east coast.

It's a longass bridge, and a quicker route if going from NJ to VA beach (did it last summer)

Yeah, I can see that. When I traveled to VA Beach, though, I was going from western NY, meaning I-95 was the better option, even if I knew about the bridge.
