THE FABULOUS STATE OF KENTUCKY

Kentucky ranks higher in literacy than Texas, but lower than Florida. It's also higher than the national average. Which should give you some perspective, and tell you that as a nation we're not doing so well. Frankly, Scarlet, we're hosed.


"We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."
----- Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams.


Many people in Kentucky actually know how to spell words on one syllable. And sometimes (not often) two. In Florida they go up to three when feeling adventurous, in Texas they usually do so in fits of braggadocio and insane over-confidence.
And when they have faith in Jesus.

They do not always have faith in Jesus.
They've heard bad things about him.
It seems he wasn't a Christian.

This is a picture of Northern California scenery. In Northern California we frequently use, and write, words of four or even five syllables. Pinot Grigio is five. Cabernet Sauvignon likewise. Sauvignon Blanc is four, Roma Wines either four or three, and bourbon doesn't exist.


Sometimes we even go up to six (Acapella Goat Cheese)!


Something makes me think that neither the future mayor of New York (two), nor the next governor of Virginia (four), is on the ballot here. It's just a suspicion.

This isn't Kentucky (three).
