A Humorous Look at Red vs. Blue

A friend sent me this hilarious look at what really distinguishes the Red States from the Blue States. Take a look:

With the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm control of 80% of the nation's fresh water, over 90% of our pineapple and lettuce, 93% of the artichoke production, 95% of America's export quality wines, 90% of all cheese production, most of the US low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus UC-Berkeley, Stanford, CalTech and MIT. Not to mention all the garlic, San Francisco Sourdough Bread and good grapes to go with all our cheese and wine.

On the other hand, the Red States now have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care cost spike), 92% of all US mosquitoes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, 100% of all Televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Grover Norquist and the radical, appalling presidency. In essence, we can live simply but well, enjoying the fruits of our tax dollars. Is it any wonder that Seattle, a solidly progressive city, was named the nation's most physically fit? The runners up were Boston, Honolulu, and San Francisco. Needless to say, Houston - the fever swamp of conservative reactionism - was ranked the fattest city in America the fourth year in a row. Mississippi - the state in which 86% of residents voted to ban gay marriage - is the fattest state, with a 35% obesity rating.

Feel any better now?
