Comic Relief


We have a gruesome landscape before us. Pakistan is looking precarious; Chrysler, at least, doesn't have nuclear weapons. The Republicans are defending torture because "it works".

But Gail Collins cuts through all this to find the essence of meaningfulness: state slogans.

    That's a shame....Wisconsin ditching the dairyland slogan. Several years ago the slogan "A State of Minds" was suggested for Iowa. It never got far due to ridicule, but I found it appealing, in a way.

    I'd vote for "Eat cheese or Die" over the current one. After all New Hampshire can "Live Free or Die" whatever the hell that means.

    I was in Madison in 1985 & proudly voted for "Eat Cheese or Die." It was better than "Smell Our Dairy Air."
