I don't work for the Stranger either Josh, does that mean that I too can post poorly thought-out drivel on SLOG?

AWESOME!

3.5% of WV's population is African-American.
37.2% of MS's population is African-American.

"Similar" demographics, Josh?

I'm sorry, but did you notice the *racial* demographics of Mississippi versus West Virginia?

Dude, you really need to get out of this area.

The differences between under-educated coal-mining white trash West Virginia and mostly black Mississippi are quite stark.

As anyone knows who lives anywhere on the East Coast or the Gulf.

Alabama's got me so upset,
Tennessee made me lose my rest,
And everybody knows about Mississippi, God Damn!

Josh, jesus christ, could you be any more obsessed with black people? Your attempts at coming off as "color-blind" are laughable.

Guess the book is coming that easyily huh?

At least a few Sloggers are knowledgeable enough to note that Mississippi is not West Virginia but dull enough not to get a very simple point. News.

Hey, give Josh some credit; he didn't try to integrate white-boy use of N-bombs this time.

What @3 said.

Also: did you notice that Childers is white?

Dean said that Dems needed to get to "guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks." That's a vastly different statement than just "pickup trucks."

What exactly is your thesis here, Josh?

For clarity, Bush got 62% in 2004, not 64%.

Reading some cleverer-than-thou goon from Seattle's analysis of what's going on in West Virginia and Mississippi is HILARIOUS.

Josh, Shouldn't you be filing resumes with the the Little Nickle instead of bothering grown ups with your bong hit 'insight'?
