is 87 too many?

Yglesias on conservative's fascination with racism.

Hmmm.

gary, IN: this place is hell, i'm certain of it.

north carolina: someday, i will learn how to drain a cooler without soaking my shoes. strange strobing traffic lights. get stuck behind a house on the freeway (no, really). the border with tennessee is seriously mountainy, wow - so this is what i missed driving in the dark.

near asheville, NC: "future west" - 'nuff said.

somewhere, VA: wherever it was i pulled off the highway for lunch. found it amusing that someone would advertise attending "cowpie high" on their car.

delaware: lots of scary signs labeling genetic experiment crops; drive by a house that has at least 8 of some carnivorous bird circling overhead; think "wow, delaware is creepy." on the plus side: lots of butterflies, dragonflies, other cute large insects.
