Here are the seven unassailable truths we have just learned:
- Nebraska is the most confused state in the unionKaua’i is cool, but the other islands stinkWest Texas just might be weird, everyoneThe Angels have a lot of horizontal popularityThe A’s don’t exist If you included Canada, the Blue Jays would probably look really impressiveThere is a weird salmon color that runs through Utah and Idaho, yet doesn’t correspond to any of the colors. Those people follow the Melmac Orbiters, and the salmon color represents the fish used in bouillabaseball
Everyone agree the Yankees are just the worst, yet everyone likes the Yankees. That’s America, alright. That’s America.
