Interesting article printed in January addressing the red/blue IQ "thingy" (just for you, Dan ) HERE'S the link. I'll quote the final analysis, as I found that interesting. In a nut shell, it says that the States that are not mostly red or blue are the smartest.....anyway....here it is....... Result: average IQ for red states vs. blue states was essentially the same (red 99, blue 99.5). Conclusions: Are liberals smarter than conservatives? Some social scientists sure think so. Are blue states smarter than red states? Sadly for us cyanophiles, no. But here's the most significant data point, I think: in the purple states — the ones that swung back and forth — the average IQ according to Una's spreadsheet was 100.9, appreciably above that for either the blue states or red states. In other words — and this has the shock of truth — the people in the purple states weren't rigidly liberal or conservative, but rather had enough on the ball to consider the choices before them and occasionally change their minds. — Cecil Adams

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

In other news, water is wet. Of course purple states are smarter. This should come as no surprise. I wouldn't brag too much about the 100.9 thing, though. That's still way short of Illy's made-up score of 148.
