    I’m offended. But then again, I left Indiana …

    I thought only Arkansans lived this way.

    “In God We Trust” plate on the truck? A symbol of our uncompromising faith.

    Fat woman wearing a cartoon t-shirt? My mother.

    Widows peak without a shirt? My father.

    Lawn mower in the back of the pickup? These Hoosiers are working!

    Great slice of this (Midwest) American Life.

    Even better, they asked upscale white Indianans not only for their own opinions on the primary, but also for the opinions of working class whites. Because it would be too much trouble to go talk to white working-class voters.

    And they wonder why rural America hates them. Sigh.

    Damn. I hated living in Indiana, and that STILL offends me.

    Well, I won’t say that I don’t see sights pretty much exactly like that every day here in Hoosier farm country, but it’s still pretty damn annoying and condescending, and definitely not representative of our state as a whole.

    Man, you guys got a kickass mass transportation system. They usually kick me off if I try to bring my lawnmower on the bus.

    Norbizness wins the thread.

    I’m someone comforted that for once the embarrassing picture is not of Kentucky.
