98. Washington: 12 million Californians Can't Be Wrong

(adapted from my t-shirt: TACOMA (185,000 alcoholics can't be wrong)

ps: No there are not 12 million Californians runnin' around up here but somedays it just feels that way. Some yea-hoo in Southern California a few years ago told folks that homes could be bought for dirt cheep up in Washington... I suggested building a big wall somewhere around Eugene Ore. but nooooo.....nobody ever listens to chknltl! Now homes are breathtakingly pricey, we have "future guest workers" harvesting grapes in Eastern Washington for expensive wines, it ain't been raining like it used to and we have suffered through some recent earthquakes! (Don't even get me started on our ever worsening traffic problems) Next thing you know the Canadians will be sneaking across the northern borders to sell us their crappy pot eh!

102. NY: "You only wish you were us!"

Alternatively: NY always looks fantastic in Blue. :dem:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

105. New York: We're the northern version of Texas!

In other words, NY has a very undeserved uber-ego.

[Liberalynn]

112. Yes, NY does have a a Big ego

but you have to give us that at least GWB doesn't have a ranch here and we never elected him as our governor! ;) No offense to Texans who wish he didn't have a ranch there, and didn't vote for Bush, meant! :hug:. Love you all who didn't vote for him and wish his ranch was somewhere else.

Of course NY had Puketaki as our governor, which was a major yuck, but I think IMHO, he's not quite as bad as Dumbya. JMHO.

And on National election nights NY is usually in blue on the map, which I think we should get at least a little credit for.

But :hug: to you anyway. It's all good since different opinions make the world go round. And by the way, I meant the Motto as a joke not seriously. ;) :hug:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

115. No, I know it was a joke.

New Yorkers often don't realize how idiotic they sound when they claim NYC has the best _____ in the world for just about everything. No, you really don't. :-) :hug:

[Liberalynn]

116. I'm an actually an Upstater -Finger Laker

and I have to admit a little frustration with the fact that some of our NY City family members forget we are part of the State too. I once attended the Rockettes salute to the 50 states, and I think there was one image of the rest of the state, the rest was all of the city. LOL. So I can understand your point. :hug:

But I still love the City folk too since for one thing they are the primary reason we stay blue, bless their hearts.
