In the grand tradition of the Starbucks vs. Walmart state [1] (yep, I'm proclaiming "grand traditions" now — it's a blessing and a curse) GraphJam has this amusing-because-it's-trueish map of how Californians perceive the rest of the country.

Given the left-coast's Berkelian flair [2] and South Park enabled reputation for being quite pleased [3] with itself, the map is pretty amusing. I love that North of the state line is "Canada" and "coffee" (though not so much anymore [4], eh?)

We'll see who's laughing, Mr. 55-electoral-vote CA, when those "Religious Nutballs" are actually deciding [5] the election...
