God Bless the USA

Ever notice how someone can make the meanest, nastiest comment about someone else, and as long as they say, "Bless his heart," it's okay? Case in point: "He could eat an apple through a picket fence, bless his heart." It almost sounds like a compliment. Well, here are some USA "bless his hearts" - a handful of states, ruining it for the rest of us.

Florida. It's gross. It just hangs down and begs to be hit by tropical systems. Then everyone that lives there seems amazed that they were hit "again." If we cut it off, the US lines would be much cleaner.

California. Eventually it will just slide off into the ocean. No one will notice.

West Virginia. Looks like a kid with a very saggy diaper.

New Jersey. Any state with the nickname "the armpit of America" needs to just go away. I know a couple of nice people from New Jersey. They were smart enough to leave.

Wyoming. Not much personality here. Texas has a distinctive shape. Wyoming is a square. Wow, that's impressive.

North and South Dakota. A total of 9 people live in both states. Let's officially combine them. Most people call them the Dakotas anyway.

Alaska and Hawaii. Without these 2, no one would ever have to use the word "contiguous." Ever. Being unattached from the rest of us, don't they just fly in the face of the concept of UNITED States?

Mighty tough words from someone who has only left SC twice. (Maybe three times, I lose track)

WYOMING IS AWESOME! It is home to Yellowstone NP and the BEST rodeo around...it's hip to be square!

If this post did nothing else productive, which I think goes without saying, I'm proud to say that it has brought my sis-in-law into the blogging world!

Yeah, don't tell Karen about Wyoming... that's where she may end up someday. Ha. And I love the phrase "bless his heart". I bet you've heard me say it.
