Just heard...

On CNN, The Situation Room. (condescendingly) "[Palin] says she's 'Joe six-pack American' and that's what the middle of the country wants."

I don't live in "the Middle" anymore, but I still take offense at the generalization of the Midwest as a collection of Bud-swilling, undershirt wearing, slightly-brighter-than-retarded baboons. They are very socially conservative (and while it's probably statistically proven that with more education comes more progressive social thought), but they're not idiots.

And another word for my No-List: Maverick (pronounced Mav'rick). HATE.
