From a rep of the country that gave the world Mr. Blobby that means a lot.
--
But whenever, as scholars sometimes do, I turned my back on books, declaring them to be the graveyards of the language, and sought contact with the simple folk, I encountered the little cannibals who lived in our building, and after brief association with them, felt very glad to get back to my reading in one piece.

| Yeah I always thought we would be better off with slaves. One of these days we're going to get enough redneck judges on the supreme court to make it legal again. Damn Lincoln. |

Hey, I found this. I don't know if it refers to the source of the IQ stuff, but its interesting none the less:

And this:

that settles that. They just replaced Gore's name with Kerry's.

But there still is this, though, for real IQ stats:

Grrreat, and I was born in Mississippi. At least I lived in Maryland most of my life and they are up there on the IQ list. Still I find this unreliable, just the idea of saying this state has a higher IQ than that state. I agree with Vovat.
But, South Carolina is pretty stupid. I hate how many people have Confederate flag stickers on their cars... I mean trucks.

| I think literacy rates would be a more accurate gauge of a state's educational system. |

Great map, Dave. Fascinating.
I guess I just wasn't made for these times. |

| I think it's a testament to the nerdiness of Frank Black's fans that a map topic has 50 replies. |

I think if an American citizen who voted didn't know that these maps were of the United States, that would be considered stupid.

True. Maybe there should be a chart based on that.
I'll bet a lot of American voters didn't even know who the candidates were. ("Hmm, I think curry is too spicy, but I like bushes, because berries grow on them. I also like corn on the cob, though, so I'm not sure.")
