Patriot Retort: Well, it’s that time of the year. The Great New York State Fair opened yesterday.
I like to think of it as the “Great Time Not to Take 690 Because Traffic is Hell.” But that’s me. Despite the fact that the Great New York State Fair is located just seven miles from my house, I don’t go.
I have an aversion to crowds.
Though I did see Lynn Anderson perform there in 1972. Or 1973. I don’t remember exactly. It was back when my parents made us go. For me one of the best things about becoming an adult was never having to go to the friggin’ Great New York State Fair again.
Sorry Mom and Dad.
Any old how.
Our never-that-great Governor Andrew Cuomo was at yesterday’s opening.
Knowing him, he probably bristled at the fact that it’s called “The Great New York State Fair.” I imagine him riding on the Ferris wheel in the Midway and grumbling into his fritter, “Meh. It’s never been that great.”
Ironically, a new CATO Institute study of the freest states in the union came out.
And New York State ranked at number 50.
Now, anyone who isn’t Barack Obama knows that number 50 means New York State is dead last.
Woo-hoo!
We’re number 50!!!!
We even beat out California (#48). MORE HERE
Oh for the good old days!

1933 Ford Roadster Pickup, pretty rare.
Nevada’s #5. I’m not gonna lie. I’m a tad surprised.
How is Virginia higher in freedom than Texas?
Luuuucyyyy, you got some splainin’ to do.
Yea, we’re #33, down -4 from 2014, and fallin fast.
Just read an editorial in today’s local paper about how we need to rethink Democratic Socialism. Maybe we can make it work this time. Yeah, right. We are SO screwed here in Connecticut.
Hawaii, you could have stayed at 47 if you hadn’t banned all sunscreen not made in Hawaii.
@ Dan Ryan Galt….Was Gilligan in the barrel….or was it Ginger’s turn?….
And the model A roadster pickup was referred to as the “Ute”….am I right?…..I could have bought 3 of them in fair condition when I was 14….I think for $75.00 each….I had the money, but Mom said NOOOOOOOO!!!!….I believe the “Ute” was bigger in Australia then the good ol’ USA…looks more like a 28/29…???
Arizona in the top ten …which is to be expected…. but more importantly, New Mexico is #41 and thus validates my premise that it must be destroyed and it’s remains divided between Texas and Arizona respectively.
SDakotans love sex, and we love wine, We’re one freer than number nine!
With what’s his name in charge VA. will catch down soon enough.
The sausage smoker has been busy. His diligent efforts have reaped benefits the left is proud of.
NYS motto is “Excelsior” translated as “ever upward”.
Up yours, Mario.
Sincerely, an Upstater.
Anyone know why my avatar doesn’t show up anymore?
@Aaron Burr – Re AZ: I’m sure we’ll drop a few spots next year. Just heard on KFYI – Newly registered voters: Republicans 5,100; Democrats 21.000.
What in the actual butt nuts? Moxie, non of those dems are within’ 100 miles of me. I’m doin’ my part to keep Yavapai clean. Don’t make me come down below sunset point cuz me and Phoenix don’t get along.
Well, if you want a state ruined, put liberals in charge. But the biggest downside is that these idiots move; it’s like the homeless in San Francisco – once they’ve shit all over the place, they move somewhere else.
I see Andrew, “never that great”, Cuomo is wandering about the #50 State fair so I won’t be!
Uhhh, hold on. Hold on…Who’s 57th?
Down here in the swamp we usually have to say “Thank God for Mississippi!” This time around we can say “Thank God for NY!”
Oh hey Diggy!
Sorry about spamming your site….. just really like that Yukio skirt.
Burr, just the fact you even know of that video is somewhat disturbing. LOL!!
That’s the commercial Yukio did that got her the role of Yukio in Deadpool 2.
Everyone loves Yukio….. and also Peter. But mainly Yukio.
And yes, you’re my Yukio…. except I call you Diggy and you’re probably taller…
But yeah, HI YUKIO!!! by which I mean Diggy.

Off topic, but am I the only one who has the “Rape is a weapon” ad from the UNHCR at the right top of this page? Of all the nerve.
