Huckleberries Online

Red states are more generous

Many of you have seen that chart, pushed by Bush Hater Howard Stern, which purports to show that intellects are higher in Blue States than Red States here. It's a hoax, of course. But a chart circulated by Michelle Malkin that links generosity to candidate support isn't. Bush states rank No. 1 to 25 on the generosity index, compiled by the Catalogue for Philanthrophy, with Idaho No. 10. The first Blue State? New York at No. 26. Seems Lib-Lefties like to talk about helping the poor, as long as they're using your money to do so. You can find the state philanthropy chart here (go to 3rd item).
