Land of the Lost

I confess that I am still reeling from Arizona winning top honors in the Stupidest State competition. I would have thought there were several more likely candidates in the lower 48, but apparently I was wrong. Unfortunately, taking a good hard look around understand why Arizona took the gold in the Stupid Olympics.

Some of the warning signs of advanced stupidity in AZ are a big following for NASCAR, large attendance at the “Country Thunder” music festival, and the demand for more freeways while complaining about the huge and apparently (to most residents) mysterious brown cloud hanging over the valley. The just don’t get the connection. Other signs include voting a smoking ban in to law that was backed by a cigarette company and tearing up the delicate desert with quad-runners in the name of recreation.

Yes it appears Arizona and evolution has given rise to a new subspecies of Neandrafuque, Homo dumbassis commonly known as “Phoenix Man”. Forget the fence along the Mexican border. Fence in AZ before Phoenix Man migrates into neighboring states looking for cheap cigarettes and tattoo parlors that feature tats of the Zig-Zag man thereby causing the average IQ of their state to plummet. New Mexico is already walking a thin line.
