What they must think of Pennsylvania, Land of Chocolate.

It's always nonsense to weep and wail and shake your fist at the universe when something horrible happens, because that's life and it sucks. You double the nonsense quotient when you delude yourself into thinking that your pristine existence is somehow better than everywhere else and nothing terrible ever happens within your part of the world.
An Arkansas politician was murdered today, by a nutcase who stormed into Democratic party headquarters, announced he was recently unemployed, and started shooting. The victim - and it seems like a random selection, excepting that the deceased was in politics - was former State Senator Bill Gwatney.
Which is a terrible thing. But then there's this:
State Rep. Janet Johnson started to cry when she talked about Gwatney.
"This is like something you would see in New York or Pennsylvania or California, but not here," Johnson said.
What? Pennsylvania? Pennsylvania gets lumped in with NY and California? Of course NY and CA will have to take the hit, because we're talking from an Arkansas perspective here. But Pennsylvania? Amish Country? The Snack Food Capital of the Eastern Seaboard? Chocolatetown, USA? Was Janet Johnson on a weekend visit to the Reading Outlets and held up by a Mennonite? Is she still holding the Battle of Gettysburg against us?
Hey, here's a list that Pennsylvania isn't on: the 2008 15 Most Dangerous States. But look who is...
That's right. Sorry about your dead Hillary Superdelegate, Ms. Johnson, but your state sucks ass. |
I guess any New England state is fair game for those pukes. We did go Kerry last election, after all...so, PA = America-haters.
I blame Philadelphia and (for once) to a lesser degree, Pittsburgh.

FTW, Pennsylvania pop a cap!
