From the Mind of Meegs

As everyone knows by now, I'm all about bagging on pretty much any midwestern city that isn't Chicago. That's why, quelle surprise, I find myself somewhat less than thrilled to be visiting Indianapolis. It's pretty craptastic. Craptasticus maximus.

In fact, I can't help but think that if the government ever wanted to revive the practice of designating entire states/areas as colonies for criminals, Indianapolis might be unpleasant enough to merit consideration as the inaugural site. But then I feel kind of bad, because that level of hostility toward a region of the country is a little harsh even for me.

However, I have learned that Chicago does not have the market cornered on eccentric cab drivers. Yesterday, one tried to talk me out of voting for Obama on the grounds that he is a closet Muslim who, once elected, plans to act as the Messiah for the Nation of Islam.

No joke. I had to tell him that I had already voted for Obama once and had every intention of voting for him again.

So, Mr. Cabbie, I guess you should start learning to deal with living in an islamofascist state. As Sister #1 would say, sorry for your luck.
