aren't the welfare states the southern republican states?

You're probably thinking of that map that Raz likes to post which shows net flows of federal money and which, to my understanding, is largely reflective of the prevalence of military bases and retirees in the south.  Although it's true that shitty southern states like Alabama do get a lot of federal money for education.  I've never seen anything that specifically addresses prevalence of welfare spending.

And welfare per se is more or less extinct since the Clinton reforms of FICA.  IIRC something like 4 million people are on TANF, the replacement.  Welfare these days doesn't mean welfare, it means Section 8 housing, food stamps, and disability payments.

It's reflective of the fact that rural areas don't bring in much cash.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Because those hill look a lot like the ones overlooking Da Nang.

Good meme, but I don't think they watch NASCAR. Oldest loves her college football, middle one her hockey.

You're referring to the set up of the car and/or the products/service advertised on it, aren't you?   :D

Or perhaps how badly that driver is losing his race. He's not even on the right continent as the finish line.  :(
