It's funny to me that in portraying Indiana as a "blank state" he's highlighting one of the most beautiful parts of the state (the route through the Dunes along the Michigan lakefront; if you've seen "Road To Perdition", you know what that area looks like). It's not important to the article, a complete tangent, but I can't not call that out.

Yeah I didn't open this link to see Indiana catching stray bullets. Does a disservice to this article.

I prefer to see that part as an up-front, honest disclosure of his biases and negativity.

The charms of Indiana have been consistently lost on me over the years; it enhanced the article for me, and I read nearly his entire blog after his Greenland rantlet. I learned a few things.

Different strokes I suppose :)
