Just back from the Middle East

I thought I'd share some of the impressions I got from my recent posting to the Middle East. Man, things are bad over there. You walk the streets, you really get a sense of the hopelessness of the region. Substandard housing, poor educational facilities, a high illiteracy rate... these people are not intellectually equipped to believe anything other than the propaganda their leaders spew.
They truly hate us. I think they are jealous of our lifestyle, our affluence, our many advantages. They have a keen resentment of our arrogance, but, in spite of their frequent demonstrations of defiance and our own recent setbacks, I believe they still truly fear us.
Well, anyway. It'll be a cold day in hell the next time I set foot in the Middle Eastern part of Alabama again, particularly in Lee County. You can bet your sweet ass on that.

Best post I’ve read in a while.

Tuscaloosa 78.8% Auburn 91.2%
College graduation rate
Tuscaloosa 30.9% Auburn 56.0%

Don’t trust Bammers with statistics (demographics, national titles, etc.)

Lies
Damn lies and statistics. In ’09 Auburn was ranked one of the top 10 places in the country to live.
Tuscaloosa’s not on the list. Must mean they are JUST WAY TO DADGUM GOOD TO BE ON SOME STUPID LIST! OMITED FROM LIST NASHNUL CHAMPUNSHIP! ROOOOW TAHD ROWWWW!
P.S. We can also compare incomes where the median income in Auburn is $62k and Tuscaloosa merits a paltry $52k.

I'm very disappointed...
I thought the Iron Bowl would be relevant this year.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit licking batteries.
