5. Often, counties/towns are named after an actual person

"White" may have been their last name. Of course it's hard to avoid the irony of it all:)

http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2415
White County, covering White County at a Glance242 square miles, is located on the eastern flank of the Appalachian Mountain chain approximately eighty miles northeast of Atlanta. It encompasses most of the headwater streams of the Chattahoochee River and is thus a major source of Atlanta's water supply. Georgia's 123rd county, carved out of Habersham County by an act of the state legislature in 1857, was named for David White, a legislator from Newton County. He helped pass the bill that created White County.
from wikipedia:

6. Oh, I know. But I'm still laughing at the "Unattended children" thing.
I've seen that elsewhere, but damn is it funny.

As for the name, I didn't bother to look it up. Just the fact that they would pose for a picture wearing those shirts with smug looks on their faces makes me want to :puke:. But hey, why would they name a place Nantucket when they know there's a dirty limerick that uses that name? :shrug:

15. Oh, that's easy
Tea Party wasn't always Tea Party, it started as the Teabaggers. She's a Teabagger. Check the Urban dictionary and you'll have your answer.

18. Oh, I'm quite aware of that. As a rule, I only use the term "teabaggers".
I was just quoting the shirt in my OP.
