At the Centennial of the Governors' Association(still going on now, on CSPAN), Cokie Roberts opened her talk by remarking that in Europe, people tend to refer to their state as a "country" -- "in my country, we buy more meat than... etc". So she turned to Ed Rendell (gov. of PA) and asked,

"If Pennsylvania were a country, what would you do?"

Ed shrugs. "Oh, probably invade Ohio," he says.

I'm ready! That state needs to be taught a lesson. I'll go get my gun, which I cling to at night along with my Bible. Because of my bitterness, you know.

But first I have to feed my bird.
