Michigan...this reminds me of the other great thing about Ohio. We fought our own war between the States - and we didn't even need the other states. I bet you wish you had Toledo now don't you Michigan?! (Actually, you are probably pretty happy with the Upper Peninsula. Funny how things work out.)

cleveland.com (Plain Dealer's webpage) is now running a story about Gawker picking up on their story about NY's anti-Cleveland agenda.

I have lived in the Cleve for 2 years, it is basically just as bad as you think it is. As a childless female attorney who didn't change her name when she got hitched (gasp! an assistant in my office claimed she'd never heard of "that")I am a freak in these parts. It's strange since I grew up outside Detroit. The fact that I went to Michigan also makes me pretty unpopular.

i find it pretty strange that the majority of the alter-egos represented herein are all at once engrossed, dismissive, and ill-informed. actually, i'm not surprised. most of the people commenting are likely just killing time at their specialized though pointless white collar jobs, whether they be based out of a rust belt town suffering for the misdeeds perpetuated by corporate america over the recent decades or a stifling megalopolis that has ballooned into a parody of itself. or in other words, some of you people–and i type that in a spirit of egalitarianism–are vapid, arbitrarily critical, and simply rehashing the same rote jokes. oh, so you watched that 30 rock episode, did you? or did you find the dig at cleveland in a final scene of wet hot american summer ever so titillating you soiled your favorite lynn ritchie silk skirt?! you don't say? oh! i like you! you're funny! well, i'd wager i could find far more crude, easily entertained, provincial individuals in the five boroughs than i could in either cleveland, or detroit, or st. louis, or chicago, or atlanta, or new orleans, or philly, or charleston (west virginia, of course), or portland (maine and oregon), or los angeles (ok, maybe not l.a.), or crawford (tejas), or that lovely connecticut town the hepburns would pass through on the way to their estate, etc. anyway, town pride and regionalism is some of the stupidest shit next to organized religion and silk screened blazers. and if you're trying to be funny, well, why not try mumbling it to yourselves or blogging about it (same thing). is anybody paying attention? but of course not.

New York may think it's better, but Cleveland has the A Christmas Story house. And it's been redone exactly as it was in the movie, so we can all go visit! And buy leg lamps for $200! Oh, but bring your gloves, hats and coats because Cleveland is cold. So so cold and grey.

@MidTwix: I actually do love Script Ohio, watching the places where they intersect and they snap the instruments through - awesome. Also, maybe someone's blaring Le Regiment into the hallway right now while marching around my (I mean his) office right now.

@azntg: we sing and dance from the pure joy that is being a Buckeye.

After seeing the Sex and the City movie this weekend, I have to take Cleveland's side. New York sucks.

As soon as i saw the mention of Cleveland, i immediately thought of Liz and Floyd. I thought I'd be able to make a witty and surprising comment about 30 Rock that everyone would love.

Damn you Gawker, for continuously being smarter and funnier than me!

Sadly, the real difference is this (and I'm sneakily coming from within the great state of Ohio) --- most of the people in Ohio that read blogs, have the education to put together words to write on blogs are working too hard to participate. Terrified of losing their jobs due to the evil internets.

However, the rest of the population sadly shows their asses at all times, everywhere they go. You ain't seen NOTHING til you've been to WalMart @ 10pm in these parts.

@QueenAlice: Thanks for the heads up but I'm never going back to that bad, bad place ever again!

My family is mostly in LeBron town...aka Akron.

It's no utopia but at least it ain't Youngstown!

They should put that on the welcome sign...

@Chocolate Sex Bunny: LOL I'll never go through that town again, thankfully. And these bitches should act all outraged? People from Ohio are the most xenophobic cowhands I ever met, and I've lived all over the world. They HATED me because I wasn't from Cleveland. I'm from L.A. so I must not know how to drive, I must be stupid, I must do a lot of drugs. This from people who have never lived anywhere but Snowhio. Where do they get this stuff?

We New Yorkers should be more like Clevelanders, who are always sensitive to the feelings of others.

As an appology for our insensitive and boorish remarks, I think that we should send Cleveland a nice present--maybe some toilet paper? Or do they still prefer to us the Sears Catalog?
