Now Who's the Hick?

Jonah Goldberg had asked for nominations for the ugliest state, and strangely enough, Arkansas seemed to be popular. I guess I could see that if you were talking about the Delta, but otherwise ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING CRACK?

Anyway, one e-mailer had a good point:

My guess is that people are still taking their hostility toward Bill and Hillary out on those of use who still call Arkansas home. You notice, don't you, that Bill and Hillary don't actually live here? The State of Arkansas sighed a big, collective, sigh of relief when they left. We couldn't believe how dumb the rest of the country was to want them in the White House. And they call us hicks?

We got shed of them first chance we got....and more or less permanently.

So who's the dumb hick?

I have friends in Northwest Arkansas (Fayetteville)and I think it is absolutely gorgeous. I think Oklahoma, at least the eastern part of Ok, is really BORING and pretty dang ugly!!!

The NE part of Oklahoma is pretty I think, and around Tahlequah & Lake Tenkiller. But OKC? Sorry, not so much.

I freely admit my bias, but ugly isn't the term I think of when I think of the Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers area. That doesn't even count Eureka Springs or Hot Springs.
