Now you really make me laugh. You could do good in stand up comedy.
Actually I do, five days per week.

I accept your surrender, by the way.

I hear the east side of Highway 44 in Tulsa is divine this time of year.

Can you tell us what measurements you use to conclude that the United States is definitively the best in the world? Or is this rating strictly emotive-based?

No surrender here. It is useless to continue to fight such ignorance.

If it's "just as beautiful," it requires so little of you to post some pictures of these areas for comparison. Is that overly taxing for you? Careful, you're liable to confirm another regional stereotype.

This brings up an interesting question: If a gun was held to your head, would you choose to live in a Dhaka outhouse or Mississippi?

I will share the correct answer later.

I imagine road trips are a nightmare for liberals.
Not me! Been there done that... But it is quite concerning to see so much rural poverty...

It's a region in northern Michigan where hairy Italian men and even hairier Italian women settled a century and a half ago where blaze orange longjohns outsell pleated khakis 10 to 1 and young boys eat pasties three times a day, except Fridays, when they switch to walleye.
