LINK: I'm kinda amused by this:
"Liberals get worldly
Matt Yglesias broadens his perspective with a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, with the following observation:
I’ve been surprised to discover that southerners really do say “y’all” all the time.
Meanwhile, Kevin Drum discovers that people in different parts of the country refer to carbonated soft drinks by different names. There may be hope for John Kerry in flyover country yet…"
I'm always faintly amused at the various reactions I get from Michigan-types when they find out I'm moving to North Carolina. Some of them think I'll meet lots of pretty blonde girls with soft southern accents (this is my hope). Others seem to think that moving to Durham means I'll be getting a gun rack and a KKK membership card. Oh well.
