Stupid blog

The stupid blog thing ate my post. Hit the "publish post" button and got a 404. Galling.

At least I have a fine quote from Paul Krugman cut to be pasted:

"The nation's interior is supposedly a place of rugged individualists, unlike the spongers and whiners along the coasts. In reality, of course, rural states are heavily subsidized by urban states. New Jersey pays about $1.50 in federal taxes for every dollar it gets in return; Montana receives about $1.75 in federal spending for every dollar it pays in taxes."

It's a well-known fact, but worth being reminded of.

That makes for some pretty cheap electoral votes, if you ask me.

15 minutes wasted, so sadly.
