Psychologically speaking...

Okay, apparently making reference to the "voices in my head" in a post the other day was not a good idea. Numerous people have expressed concern that I may not be entirely sane, including the voices. When even your voices turn on you, it's time to do something about it. Seeing as though I'm too poor to afford a psychiatrist, I've decided to do a sort of self-exam. So, we're going to go with word association. For each state, I'll think of a word. Then, using the power of Google, we'll determine how sane I am by seeing how many hits come up for the name of the state and the word (or phrase) I thought of. Hopefully this will finally prove to all of you that I am sane.

Alabama + "all children left behind" = 30
Alaska + "polar bear maulings" = 1
Arizona + "skin cancer hotspot" = 4
Arkansas + "bill clinton's cigars" = 1
California + "hippies live" = 950
Colorado + "chair force academy" = 1
Connecticut + "one giant suburb" = 49
Delaware + "forgotten state" = 621
Florida + "election fixing" = 37,200!
Georgia + "malarial swamp" = 362
Hawaii + "out in the ether" = 59
Idaho + "more than potatoes" = 412
Illinois + "dead voters" = 19,700
Indiana + "hoosier is a good word" = 1
Iowa + "children of the corn" = 11,600
Kansas + "wasteland" = 359,000!!!!!!
Kentucky + "gives me nightmares" = 212
Louisiana + "it's still there?" = 19,600
Maine + "might as well be canada" = 28
Maryland + "DC's toxic runoff" = 0
Massachusetts + "liberal nutjobs" = 98
Michigan + "crappy cars" = 616
Minnesota + "really freakin' cold" = 25
Mississippi + "deep fried foods" = 226
Missouri + "worst sports teams" = 151
Montana + "mountains but no people" = 0
Nebraska + " the n is for nowledge" = 26
Nevada + "giant den of sin on earth" = 0
New Hampshire + "primaries are irrelevant" = 4
New Jersey + "armpit" = 181,000
New Mexico + "scorched earth" = 38,700
New York + "has more than one city" = 10
North Carolina + "north equals yankee" = 0
North Dakota + "lack of people" = 263
Ohio + "rabid hatred of sweatervests" = 0
Oklahoma + "center of jesus-land" = 0
Oregon + "killing old people" = 64
Pennsylvania + "zombie Joe Paterno" = 0
Rhode Island + "not really an island" = 801
South Carolina + "the confederacy lost" = 396
South Dakota + "keep driving" = 942
Tennessee + "why won't dolly parton quit" = 0
Texas + "get over yourselves" = 33,900
Utah + "jesus-land part deux" = 0
Vermont + "the berkeley of the east" = 68
Virginia + "better than what's to the west" = 0
Washington + "microsoft owns the state" = 2
West Virginia + "brother marries sister" = 1
Wisconsin + "stinky cheese" = 74,900
Wyoming + "brokebacking" = 100

Well, this proves it. I'm sane. I mean, if 359,000 webpages think that Kansas is a wasteland, who am I to disagree. Although I am, apparently, the only person who associates a rabid hatred of sweater vests with Ohio and thinks that a zombie Joe Paterno is representative of Pennsylvania as a whole. Who knew??
