Yeah, but blood red Oklahoma gets even less $$$$ than California, man. It's on that graphy thingie up above.

Yep, and you all keep that oil flowing to CA and they'll let the Chinese keep your WalMarts stocked (with a surcharge of course).  That's how it works  between countries.  

Oil?   Naw, that's so 20th century.

The oil's about to run out, so we gots windfarms...

Walmart?   Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft~~~~~~~~~   Actually, 2nd hand stores that have used Walmart junk are a far, far better deal.  That's how it goes down here in down and out Oklahoma.  We're too fucking poor to rely on Walmart as the first place to get our stuff.


And of course, house prices match the wages here.

Wanna buy some of our little pink houses for investments?   They're cheap.  Like less than a year's rent in NYC.

Yea, I know.

And it looks like we're going to need another 4 years of reality before we get everyone to seriously ask why.

You know, Mellencamp wrote that song when Ray-gun was in office; it was a protest song.  Timely, once again, and, unfortunately, likely more so in the coming four years.

I saw him and Kid Rock do a very long version at the Concert for NYC - just a month after 9/11.  It made my day then, the coming together overriding the shared horror; today, I realize how naive I was.
