Best Obama joke ever!
It has just been reported that the head gardener at The White House has been dismissed after 28 years of loyal service to many US presidents.

When interviewed the gardener protested his innocence and said, "All's I did was I stepped into the hallway outside the Oval Office and asked, has anyone seen the spade and the hoe!!!!

We also dominate in the states that pay the most taxes, have the highest education level and produce most of the GDP.

Love the racist joke, anon. Shows the true colors of the conservative shitheels.

NJ may have lost to NY this time but we still have property taxes and auto insurance rates over you! And while you USED to have really bad neighborhoods they do not match up to our Camden and Newark. NJ Rocks!

Here's my spin. We will only drop in rank if they add more states. No where to go but up.
