Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

Hamas flag flying on the Brooklyn Bridge

They must have seen the unchecked summer of love protests and gotten bolder
 
That's how I felt with your horrible analogy too. Glad I could help level that playing field for us.

What was the horrible analogy?

I said I don't vote for politicians who enable such thing and then you gave me an example from Washington DC, who last I checked is 100% Democrat
 
Really getting annoyed how much this guy is making me like him.

I've no idea what his voting record is but his rhetoric is better than 90% of Republicans these days

States with the highest patent production per capita: California, Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon, Utah, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Connecticut, Colorado, Michigan

States with the lowest patent production per capita: Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, Hawaii, Alaska, Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota, Louisiana, Oklahoma

Smart of the latter group to free ride on the positive externalities produced by technological innovators.

Looks like yankee ingenuity is a thang (with Maine a notable laggard).

The ratio of patents granted per capita in California and Massachusetts to those granted in Mississippi and West Virginia is on the order of 10 to 1.

The UC school system is modern marvel. Not being facetious at all. It’s the best education system in the entire world.

Yeah. My older son went to UC Davis and is now getting a masters at UC San Diego. Just an amazing collection of great schools. SUNY is a somewhat distant second.

Didn’t know you had kids who studied there. I hope he enjoyed himself living in the town Rush Limbaugh endearingly referred to as little Moscow back when he did Sacramento radio.

My wife graduated from UC Davis. We both miss Davis a lot. The facilities are a complete dump, but faculty was top notch (at least the ones that weren’t psychotic https://www.abc10.com/article/news/...osts/103-38bbf42f-0611-4efc-821b-7a214fec25cf).
 
I liked the smells and sounds of the barnyard animals as I approached the football stadium. It was a nice touch and a reminder of its Aggie origins.
