From the web today:Stupid Blue States:
People who vote Republican are stupid, the stereotype has it. As London's left-wing Daily Mirror tabloid asked in a front-page headline in November, ''How could 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?'' (Actually, according to David Leip's Election Atlas, the number of Bush voters is now 62,041,268.)
In an effort to counter this stereotype, we're looking for examples of blue-state stupidity, and our first one comes from an Associated Press weather story: ''Baltimore transportation crews are set to lay down blue salt--letting residents know their streets have been plowed.''
John Kerry outpolled Bush 82.7% to 17.1%--a margin of 65.6%--in Baltimore, a city whose residents need saline assistance to figure out their streets have been plowed. Can't get enough of those blue state folks.
