According to this the average IQ of a state corresponds fairly well with which way the state voted in the 2000 elections.
Two things spring instantly to mind:
1) Where do the IQ figures come from?
2) If the IQ figures are correct - Mississipi has an _average_ IQ of 85?!?!?!?!?
I'm somewhat disbelieving at this point...

Hoax ...

A reader writes in and tells us he has the book (Sorry to hear that Mike) and the state IQ's aren't in it. This is a huge relief as the book is one of those race/IQ books. So we're still trying to track down the source for the IQ scores. As this is all a bit of good fun we aren't to concerned with the source. We know that Republicans are mentally impaired. If they weren't, that would just make them greedy.
Just in case anyone missed it, this page is for amusement only.
