17. Glad to see that

every problem in Tennessee has been solved, so now they are free to tackle these tough, important issues. Guess unemployment is so low that the lawmakers don't need to go out and court businesses to invest in the state.

I should move there, I guess, but then I'd have to be around people like that.
