can we fry this?

wow. louisiana is number 50, dead last, in the 2004 state health rankings. is anyone that surprised? we would deep-fry cigarettes if we could. if cancer hadn't eaten away every brain cell in the state maybe we would realize that a daily diet of fried stuff with cheese and a liquid butter chaser isn't the healthiest way to go.

incidentally, we also eat fried pig fat down here. they're called cracklin's.

check out the last ten or so states on that list. is it a coincidence that they're all red? check out the top ten states - coincidence that they're mostly blue? utah is in there, but i think that's because the joseph smith crowd considers everything unhealthy a hell-worthy sin.

i actually wanted to move to minneapolis even before this list came out. i love the cold, i love the accents, i love margie gunderson, and now i love the thought of clean arteries.

so, just to reiterate a long-standing opinion of mine: louisiana sucks bottom-of-the-barrel balls (we fry and eat those too).
