By the time I get to Arizona

[substitute]

The nation’s best state for heavily armed racist wack jobs produces an armed terrorist group; government is going to “monitor” them. I’m sure they’ll follow instructions and only offer food and water to lost illegal immigrants, though. It’s not like any of them are hate-filled crackers itching for a chance at legalized lynching or anything. BAD IDEA JEANS

Hate-filled crackers? The new snack treat from Wal-Mart!

Yeah, I moved from Arizona for a reason.

When I lived in Albuquerque, I found that New Mexicans so recoiled in terror from basically every bordering state that their mental model of things was: What states does New Mexico border? Colorado.

And a bit of Oklahoma.

And okay, if you drove for like a day, you could get to where New Mexico borders "Old Mexico".

And that's all that New Mexico borders.

Now, New Mexico is a square, but as to the east and west sides, it was like the oddly blank unshaded unlabelled parts on a medieval map -- that's just where space stops existing, don't look there, it's a singularity and we do not discuss that.

That's how they un-thought of Arizona, Utah, and Texas.

So, to Arizona and Texas, I say: when New Mexico, a dessicated lunar landscape of craters, radioactivity, meth-labs, and flailing grifters, looks down on you, it's time to wonder what you're doing wrong.
