Why I Love New York
So I haven't update this in awhile because well, I got lazy. I am sure those of you that know me find that very shocking. But today, due to a combination of boredom and me avoiding real work because I am hungover as shit, I feel like updating it.

This is a perfect example of why I adore my home state of NY. We join a list of ten other states (most in the northeast obviously) that have decided to turn down money from the government that was to be used on abstinence only education. Why you ask would we do that? Because, as anyone with even half a brain may have guessed, ABSTINENCE ONLY EDUCATION DOESN'T WORK. But of course, the biblethumpers think it does, and since they are the people running the loony bin known as the United States Government, we actually waste money on telling hormone infused teens not to have sex until they are married. It's quite realistic I know. It's right up there with purity balls and creationism in that "what crazy thing will those god-humpers think of next?" sort of way.
I know I rank on the South alot because well, it's easy and what I say is true but I feel sometimes I am a little unfair. But I would like to take this time to mention that when I talk about "New York", really I am talking about Westchester and below. Because let me tell you, I have spent a large amount of time upstate, and not only is it a cultural wasteland much like the South, but also the majority of people who live there are as backwards as those crazy cousin lovers in Alabama. The only real difference is, upstate NY is just more polluted thanks to companies like American Locomotive and GE (ahhh Schenectady). Oh, and they don't have those assinine accents that no matter how smart you are, make you sound like an inbred idiot.
Ok thats my penance for making fun of the South so much, I admitted there are alot of people up here JUST LIKE YOU.
