Or Indiana. Having attended college in both states, I can attest that there at least used to be decent people there. Grinnell College, which I did not attend, has a $2 billion endowment and is well regarded. Indiana University, which I also did not attend, has a world-renowned school of music.
One thing that has happened since those long-ago days is that the family farms in both states have been swallowed up by corporate interests, and those left behind in the harsh environment of Iowa Beef Processors and Monsanto-blasted corn farms are bitter and angry that their once comfortable pastoral existence has been destroyed.
Did you, by any chance, attend Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis? No reason, I just like their ridiculous name which is, seriously, Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. Or, IUPUI for short.
That awesome palindromic acronym was being established while I was at the Agricultural Training Institute* in West Lafayette.

One of the coolest people I know graduated from Grinnell. He did his post-doc in Molecular Biology at Princeton, and now researches various medical thingies… like, I think he just wrapped up a study on herpes at the Cleveland Clinic, and is now back near Philly looking into some other infectious thing. But aside from all the wonkery, he's hilariously funny.
I was going to call them corn-holin' hog-fuckin' Iowegians, but I'm not that crass, today, for some reason.
Iowan Republicans: Giving truth to the old joke that I.O.W.A. stands for Idiots Out Wandering Around.
57% found calling Obamacare worse than slavery was "very attractive". That seems to say a lot!
Logic is going hog wild in Iowa. Who possibly could have imagined?

You've got to think the pollsters were just joking with this query.
I like how the media ignores the fact that Santorum won the last I owe a cock us.
Don't forget Iowa picked Obama. They're not all crazee, one hopes.
Counterpoint: Florida.
