the red and the blue, cont'd

From the always entertaining Tom Tomorrow:

Because I did grow up in Iowa and Arkansas, I also know that being a liberal in those places--even when you are sequestered in a college town--is a substantively different experience from being a liberal in San Francisco or New York. And anyone who writes me and tries to pretend otherwise, tries to pretend that there is absolutely no difference, that rural Arkansas is every bit as enlightened and tolerant as San Francisco or New York, and only an out-of-touch East Coast elitist would think otherwise--well, you may be kidding yourself, but you're not kidding me.
