You remember that old Soviet-era Russian joke about the guy who was horrified when his neighbor came home one day with a goat? It really bothered him that his neighbor had a goat and he didn’t.

I will try to find you a goat.” To which the guy replied, “No, no – I want you to kill my neighbor’s goat.”Now we know why they’re called “Red” states.http://www.americablog.com/2008/12/now-we-know-why-they-call-them-red.html
