Margaret Brennan from uppercrust Greenwich, CT is an intellectual lightweight next to the boy from Appalachia.

As for as I can remember, it seems like when the national news... Or world news.. My pops used to watch the world news every night.. talked about "the south".. or a southern state, it was as if they had a perception of "less than".

Let everything go to shite and lets see who is more likely to survive. And forgive us if we don't impress you because a lot of us don't feel the need to live a more extravagate life.

Yep, I'm thinking all those billionaire Amish people might think she's a bit loony..........if they had a tv to watch her on.

I took that as too poor. You’d have to read into that to think “too dumb.”


Yeah, I agree. Plus Mississippi is actually objectively looking pretty good right now with the Mississippi Miracle in education. A decade ago we were dead last and now we’re in the middle of the pack. The whole country should be doing what Mississippi is doing in education.

My bad…on my phone and might’ve fricked up the hyperlink. Google “which states receive more federal dollars than they put in”. It’ll bring you up plenty of results.

Wow that’s so insane that states with larger populations and more multinationals send more money to the IRS

It's amazing that CBS News is still in business - they have been an absolute joke since the Dan Rather crap.
Agreed, Rather’s faux Tex-arse folksy schtick was deprecating to non-elites and insulting.

On the upside, his tenure there did give us the best song title ever: “What’s the Frequency Kenneth?

Take away federal dollars and recalculate. Likewise for the other states…take away the money they’re sending to the feds for redistribution it poor states.


Aren’t those numbers skewed because of a preponderance of military bases in the south.
