Ugh - Massachusetts liberals

The smartest state in the union for the second consecutive year is Massachusetts.

The dumbest, for the third year in a row, is New Mexico.

Well, okay, they're talking about students - but I suspect that has a positive correlation to adults in the same states - unless not-so-smart students tend to stay in the state in which they went to high school, while smart students move elsewhere, in which case, Massachusetts could be full of smart teenagers and stupid adults. But that doesn't seem likely, because, just looking around me, it doesn't appear that smart students in general are spawned from not-so-smart adults, except on very rare occasions. I guess I need more information.

Still, check out the link if you want to see where your state falls on the smart-o-meter. And I know you do. It's a very striking pattern.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
