The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already

[Kepler]

My mental image of Alaska is:

(1) Cities: Mary Tyler Moore when she throws her hat in the air
(2) The White Poor: Sarah Palin
(3) The Native Poor: Reservation Dogs under 60 inches of snow

So it's Southwestern Virginia. They're all hayseeds but they're not all Qtards.

Pretty much. They’re the ones the people with “airs and graces” look at and say “you’re making us look bad”.

The Palins are typical Valley Trash who somehow got famous.

Orange County Chamber of Commerce mansion Republicans who won't even speak to Inland Empire trailer park Republicans. Got it.

Not far off.

Not if you lived here. ;-)

Valley Trash my man, Alaskans hate Valley Trash.

Oh I believe it...it is just kind of weird to watch. Anywhere else and Palin makes that up easily but Alaska is a strange outlier. Reading the responses to the tweet was eye opening.

Not exactly. Typical Valley Trash has some money, oil field workers, heavy equipment contractors, trucking companies, that kind of stuff. The useful idiots who the actual wealthy in South Anchorage fleece from.

So like when NoDak got all that oil money and a bunch of hayseeds all of a sudden got rich?

I thought the people who got that money were carpetbaggers from out of state? The people who always benefit when there's a wildcat boom. (Well, the people who really benefit are fat cats back in NYC, but that's for everything.)

More like a field of daffodils that just needed rain to blossom into their natural beauty.

****in A Jack.

Good breakdown of the numbers in the Alaska race.

I do think he’s low balling the numbers on bullet votes (votes for Begich but with no one ranked second), I think it’ll be higher than 4.7%.

No a lot of people who owned land made out like bandits. I have a lot of friends from NoDak (most left cause they have more than 4 teeth) and some of their families did very very well.

Of course that didn't last very long. I have one buddy from Dickenson who will never go back there because of what oil did to that town.

Daffodils? Isn't that the state tree of Nodak?

Speaking of Dickenson, I wonder where the poster RockDoc went, I haven't seen him post in along time.

Problem is that a lot of dirt farmers out there sold the mineral rights long ago.
