Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful...

Strom Thurman, Hootie and the Blowfish, James Brown, and Vanna Frickin' White are all from the Palmetto State. The Renaissance Weekend where intelligent mucky-mucks gather to discuss important world issues was an annual event on Hilton Head for years. The Spoleto Festival in Charleston is an annual international expo of art and music. So, we've managed to overcome the "slow-witted Southerner" stereo-type that has so unfairly affected South Carolina, right? Oh, Geez, who let this girl out in public?

Uh, a dead racist, a one-hit wonder, a drug-enhanced wife beater, and a professional letter turner?

How come one of these aren't featured on the new dollar coin!? Travesty!

What was that they said about the Palmetto State? Not big enough to be a nation, too big to be an insane asylum?

I might've mentioned John C. Calhoun and Andrew Jackson ... say, he IS on the money!

There was a blonde that was sick of people making fun of her. So she decided to prove to all people that blondes are not as dumb as what they think they are. She studied all the capitals of the states ALL night long. She didn't even rest one bit.

The next day, she spotted a couple a guys sitting down and walked up to them and she said," I bet you I can name all the capitals of the states," and he said, "OK", "What is the capital of California?"
She replied, " that's easy "C".

Thank Gawd for Mississippi, it's the SC State Motto. Sadly, Mississippi has no state motto.

Sounds like Star has issued a call for Blonde jokes.

Darn it! A blonde was typing on my computer. I could tell. There was white-out on the screen.

Youngest looked confused after watching that with me.

If it turns him off forever to shiksa blonde beauty pageant contestants, I'm okay with that.

Yeah, Kate, Amy, really stupid never comes into style. And, Kate, I'm impressed that you surf the web with your lads. How cool is that (I already know Amy looks at it with her chillins). Classic answer as to why Americans can't find America on a map: not everyone has maps. Now there's a presidential pledge: a world map with America on it for every home.
