Bizzaro US State Quarters
July 1st, 2009I was thinking earlier today about the A Pocketful of History, which I reviewed yesterday. Each state got to choose something that best represented them. So that got me to thinking about what the states would choose if they had to pick their most embarrassing moment in their history. Here’s what I came up with so far:
Texas – Waco / Branch Davidians debacle
Mississippi – Not officially ratifying the 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery) until MARCH OF 1995!!! WHAT?!?
Massachusetts – Everyone who lives in Boston
New Jersey – Bruce Springsteen
Minnesota – Voting for Al Franken
What do you think? Let’s hear them!
