Mississippi isn't poor by any reasonable or objective definition.  Vermont, however, is in fact the second-poorest state in the Northeast.

Goldmined.

I'm glad you admire my comic skills, and Mississippi is still richer than Greece.

No it isn't.

And we don't marry our cousins.

2010 GDP per capita, Greece: $28,100
2010 GDP per capita, Mississippi: $33,000

And wrong stereotype (that's Appalachia)..

Trust me dude. We're much better off than the sh**thole under the name "State of Mississippi".
Sometimes instead of looking numbers on your laptop screen, you must get out and experience the real world.

Mississippi is the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway, also known as the "Father of Capitalism". What is your state known for?

I must admit, I have never seen such a high level of incorrect statements in two sentences before.  Ever.  I'm impressed.

Wait, so all of you are going to jump on Professor for the "Hemmingway was from Illinois, not Mississippi" part, and none of you are going to mention the "Father of Capitalism" bit?  Papa Hemmingway wasn't even particularly capitalist: he was too busy seeing what happens when you mix champagne and absinthe to deal with economic theory.
