Who, me? Condescending? Never.

Sun columnist Kevin Cowherd, on Baltimore’s much-derided snow-wussiness fading after these last two winters:

Now we’re the ones who get to look down on Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta and all those other towns where they’re completely unable to deal with a little snow.

Now we’re the ones who can watch news footage of traffic crawling on the Capital Beltway and shake our heads and mutter: “What is wrong with those people?! A couple inches of snow and they flip out!”

Now it’s our turn to act smug and superior about any place where the local newscast leads off with a five-minute report about the fleet of salt trucks ready to hit the roads as soon as the first flakes drift from the sky.

Boy, it sure feels good.

We should trot out this condescending attitude more often.

Damn right you should! Nothing lifts my spirits like making fun of others.

Weirdness. You and I would think that since we’re from Ohio (well me a transplant from Minnesota but… for the point, I’m Ohioan since I went to a MAC school) we’d be considered Mid-Western. Funny thing. Illinois people seem to think Ohio is practically East Coast and we all know that Eastern Seaboard people think Ohio is near Idaho. Its just weird.

Thats the end of my story. Oh and I call it soda.
Weird. Dumb story.

It was dumb
