Last week I refuted the notion that the rising Hispanic population will doom the Southwest to becoming the Appalachia of the 21st century with data from Florida. What?????? This makes no sense. Appalachia of the 21st century? I'm Appalachian, and I don't know what the hell you're talking about here...

Appalachia used to be considered the most dumbed-down, hillbilly uneducated ignorant group in the country. My husband is from the Shenandoah valley, and I can tell you that the stereotype is wrong.

You know. Dirt poor inbred hicks swilling homemade liquor, eating possum stew and screwing their kin. Eventually, someone will create a show called The Beverly Wetbacks.
