I'm from small-town PA. I'm elitist. And I'm bitter.
But I've never clung to a gun ... And I haven't clung to religion since I was a teenager.

Am I missing the boat, here? I feel left out!!

4. My friend lives in a burb of Philly. She doesn't have a gun either
and neither does her husband or two daughters. Gee, there are a lot of people missing Obama's boat in PA.

6. I do. I DO cling to my latte. I cling to it with both hands. It helps dilute the bitterness.
I'd cling to the steering wheel of my Volvo, too ... but I drive a Subaru.

7. I'm also from a small town... and drive a Subaru.
and neither do I cling to guns nor religion, but I certainly understand why my neighbors and family members do. They tell about it all the time. They tell me that pretty much that is all they've got, fighting for their rights to own a gun and worship how they want and that the government could care less with all it's politicians giving them the ol' lip service, but not doing a damn thing for them.
