Somebody isn't picking up on our world-class passive-aggression...

No, it's fine. That's fine. Newsweek took a break from whatever it is that they usually do (covering the very latest sweek?) to declare Minnesota the friendliest state in the Union.

From the article: "Locals are renowned for their legendary "Minnesota Nice" attitude. The combination of polite residents, a sense of community, and scenic landscapes make it a haven for those seeking a friendly atmosphere."

Sure, sweaty.

Tennessee came in second (first losers).

New York was named the rudest, followed by Arkansas. I mean, if Arkansas could learn to pronounce their own state name correctly maybe they wouldn't be so ornery.
