I saw this and I thought, wait a minute

New Jersey Ranks 2nd for People Moving Out


ST. LOUIS (AP) -- New Jerseyans appear to be on the move -- out of the state.

An analysis of migration trends by the nation's largest mover shows the Garden State second with nearly 61 percent of customers leaving last year.

United Van Lines says Michigan and North Dakota tied for the most outbound migration.

North Carolina had the highest inbound migration with 64 percent of moves going into the state. Oregon was second.

Eight of the ten winners in inbound migration were from the Southeast or West.

Now, don't get me wrong, having all these folks leaving is a drag, because it means that my taxes will keep going up to pay for all the people the government keeps hiring in their effort to 'streamline government', but what got me most about this is the headline.

If "Michigan and North Dakota tied for the most outbound migration" then New Jersey is number 3, not 2, you dopes.

But maybe this story was reported by Jamail Hussein too.

You'd think they'd know that. It's not like they ran out of fingers.

You're using golf tournament math there.

Maybe this is why your governor wants to let idiots vote?

"NJ Governor/idiot". Now there's two mutually inclusive terms. Might as well be synonyms.

Until Bingley's elected, that is.

Then it will be my title?

"New Jersey's Idiot Governor"

One complete thought instead of separate phrases.

So you're for that constitutional change, Mr. Bingley?

You can always be against it afterwards, y'know!
