Don't Carry Me Back to 'Ol Virginny, Cause You're Fucking Embarrassing

"That [stimulus package] is as much a chain of slavery around our children. … It is as much a chain as ankle bracelets were as to African-Americans in the 1860s in this state. It’s just invisible. But it is a chain of death that we’re not going to escape," - Virginian Republican state senator, Bob Marshall.



Throughout my life I've taken utter umbrage whenever someone asks "WEST Virginia?" upon hearing what state I'm from. I usually get snippy, with "Did I SAY West Virginia?"

But now between this complete fuckwad, and Eric Cantor incapable of leaving his house without ratcheting up the douchebag dial, I might start simply nodding my head.

I hear you on the West Virginia thing. Except I take it one step further and say Northern Virginia. Because everyone knows NOVA is a separate state.
