Left-wingers just love to attack Texas, but except for Dallas and Houston, it's a wonderful state. I say we give the 'baggers five states that line up perfectly from north to south.

The Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Nothing worth salvaging there.

This quote from you on an article about eliminationist humor is awful. Do you, a supposedly west coast liberal intellectual or what ever you're dressing yourself up as, honestly believe that places like you listed don't have their share of progressives? I just...your comment (and perhaps your attitude in general) are destructive and do nothing to help anything. The next time I'm at a progressive rally here in Kansas, I'll remember how much my potential fellows else where in the country forget that progressive ideals can exist anywhere but on the coasts. Shameful, sir.
