Another red state / blue state breakdown
Thanks to whomever compiled this:

With the Blue States in hand, the Democrats have firm
control of 80% of the country's fresh water, over 90%
of our pineapple and lettuce, 92% of all fresh fruit
production, 93% of the artichoke production, 95% of
>America's export quality wines, 90% of all cheese
production, 90% of the high tech industry, most of the
US low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and
condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus
Amherst, Stanford, Berkeley, CalTech and MIT.

We can live simply but well.

The Red States, on the other hand, now have to cope
with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected
health care cost spike), 92% of all US mosquitoes,
100% of all tornadoes, 90% of all hurricanes, 99% of
all Southern Baptists, 100% of all Televangelists,
Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the
University of Georgia. A high price to pay for
controlling the presidency.


Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe
Jonah was actually eaten by a whale, 62% believe life
is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or
gun laws, 44% believe that evolution is just a theory,
53% that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 and most
hard to grasp, 61% believe that Bush is a person of
moral conviction.

Most citrus fruits still come from the South

I can't IMAGINE that there's not a snotload of fresh water in alaska. Also, there are condors at the vermillion cliffs in Arizona.

On edit: What about virtually the entire Mississippi and Colorado drainages? They're mostly red, no?

12. Source, please?
I do agree that this false Red State/Blue State dichotomy has caused many breakdowns. Let's hope you're feeling better soon.
