Tell kona all about it...
Appalachia: Just another word for ignorant, backwards, and racist. Lovely countryside though.
Well, one good thing came out of it. Thanks for the video! 
Am I right or today's music largely ... not music? (Yes, I have officially passed over to little old lady rocking on the front porch, grumbling about "kids today.")
(Note I am steadfastly avoiding the politics.)
...and their stripping is not nearly so classy...
racism? in kentucky? what a world, what a world . . .
comment burped on me just now...
people actually TOLD poll takers that they had voted race.
imagine being that bold and THAT convinced that they were in the right, to vote for clinton because she's white.
these are the same people i'm betting will vote in the general election for mccain because he is a man.
some victory.
There must be a lot of hard working white Americans in that state.
Obama won the democratic nomination in good old almost all white ND. So when I hear people talk about voting for someone only on the basis of their color or sex it drives me crazy. It should NOT be that way. I wish the racists/sexists would stay home come election day but you know that isn't going to happen! That is the one day they all get off the couch.
..and the results are in: White people in Oregon find no problem voting for Obama.
I wish I could defend my home state, I really do, but sadly I can't. I only take solace in the fact that Obama easily carried Jefferson County (Louisville) and the place I call home. We are truly the best example of a very blue and open minded city in a very red and closed minded state, even more so than Konagod's beloved Austin is to Texas, home of Dubya.
I will say that most people in Louisville have very few real life connections with the rest of the state. We are the economic engine that pays the bills for the rest of the state and there is a lot of resentment about that. We have great fondness for our beloved Wildcats of the University of Kentucky (Class of 1992) but the rest, well, not much love.
OF course the feeling is mutual and they have very little love for our big city vices, especially the fact that Louisville is a GLBT magnet in the region. Sorry America, I really am, but remember, there are two Kentucky's, one has 119 counties and the other has 1. I'm glad I live in the one with 1.
