What is it about Alaska...

[Cassandra]

that their Senators feel compelled to yell so much? It can't be the fact that they're so far north of the rest of us; there are telephones, after all.

1. You have to be able to talk to the drunks. Yelling helps. n/t

2. It's so cold up there that their words usually freeze in mid-air & you have to read them instead

That's why he was yelling. He's not used to people hearing him in such a warm climate where his words aren't freezing up. At least that's what I think happened :shrug:

3. .45 people per sq mile

You have to yell that loud for your neighbor to hear you - that or you never see anybody so when you do - you've forgotten how to use your voice.

They do seem to grow a unique breed up there, gotta say that for sure.

4. If ever there were a time for yelling, this is it.

I wouldn't want him for president, unnecessarily. Although I'm sure he'd be far far far better than the pistol packing ass we have now.

But I think your question was intended for humorous purposes. I'm not in a humorous mood tonight. Darn. I'll have to wait for the Daily Show to come back to life.

5. If your state had an average of one person for each square mile...

...you'd probably find yourself yelling a lot too.

Hallooooooooooo......

6. I'm in NYC.

Rather the opposite experience.

7. True...we STILL yell louder than anyone...

It's cause we're trying to be heard over the construction going on across the street.

8. Oh?

I always thought it was because New Yorkers had big mouths? :evilgrin:

Before you smack me -- I'm from there. :evilgrin: LOUD & PROUD.
