Gettin' smart jes' like New York folks
I love being patronized by The New York Times.
Today it's a front-page story about the political shift in the South. It's datelined Vernon, Ala., but includes this little passage about us folks:
"Along the Atlantic Coast, parts of the 'suburban South,' notably Virginia and North Carolina, made history last week in breaking from their Confederate past and supporting Mr. Obama. Those states have experienced an influx of better educated and more prosperous voters in recent years, pointing them in a different political direction than states farther west, like Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and Appalachian sections of Kentucky and Tennessee."
Well, shucks. I'll bet if we 'uns added even more smart folks from better-edgycated states like New York, jes' maybe we could get Miz Hillary to move down here and be our next senator in 2010.
Watchyou think about that, Andy and Opie?

It's that kind of comments from you that make it impossible to recurit 1st class New York City basketball players for Coach K at Duke.
I bet you are a secret Wake Forest Baptist supporter who started a rumor that only Jews, Blacks and Communist Obama supporters play for Coach Williams at Chapel Hill?

The NY refugees sell their puny abodes back home for a half-mil plus and roll the proceeds into buying McMansions here.
To those who bought their old places up North, who's the real idiots?

The Times needs a history lesson. The Confederates were Democrats. Lincoln Republican.

I did live in NJ from approx. age 2 to 15. But you never hear me say how they do things better up there. There's a difference between a native Northerner and a native Northerner with attitude.
