Congrats.

Interesting, isn't it, how few Nobel prizes in "science" fields are
awarded to scientists living and working in red states. A few were born
in red states, but most moved west or north to continue their studies
and careers.





And conversely those with lesser intellect moved from the north, where
the better schools are, to the south and mid west to persue academic
excellence in studies of English and jingle writing.
