I find this hard to believe, but Cedric said so. Why would Business Insider readers want to kick out two of the biggest economies in the country?

I don't think respondents were taking the question seriously, but if you consider the debates around here, one or the other of those states would annoy people on either end of the political spectrum. And big states make big impressions.

Why would Rob's instincts lead him to Rhode Island and Alabama? Who even thinks of Rhode Island?

Cedric introduces Rob as the most patriotic American ever, but the only detail in support of that was that Rob was wearing a shirt covered in flags? :roll:

Just out of curiosity, Rob, could you show us the label that says where that garment was made?

Ouch! Any good Civ player knows you can't research pottery until you discover the wheel.
