1. Four miles west of Lebanon, Kansas - probably that hogfarm.

98 degrees 35 minutes West, 39 degrees 50 minutes North:

Maybe you'll bump into Wavy Gravy there?

3. Yeah, well, that's the point around which the lower forty-eight

states could be balanced on your finger if you could cut out a sufficiently strong and sufficiently thin lamina of uniform areal density, assuming also that you have a pretty strong finger. But will the crowd think that's a good reason to travel there to party?

2. Rockingham, NC

It's about as center as you can get from where I sit. :D

4. You can see it every whichway you look out? That's a pretty ..

.. good argument. A bunch of us Nuth Caolinians might be inclined to accept as a reasonable approximation to the truth.

5. Other that the wall to wall assholes we have to try to defeat

every election, it's a pretty place. What with all the beautiful scenery and cheap prices for the most part. It would be the most economical and ecological choice. Don't you think? :hi:

6. Since the world clearly revolves around me...

the center is obviously South Florida :evilgrin:

7. Shouldn't we meet left of center?

Just sayin'...

8. I would like to see the Democrats descend upon Idaho.
