What’s blue about Missouri is their state bird

“Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can’t I?”
I had told Todd that his state was blue, but according to 2000 and 2004 election results, Missouri is decidedly red. I stand corrected. Perhaps it was because I was thinking that the citizens of Missouri voted for Bill Clinton twice and I never forgave them. Or maybe because Kansas is so red, it just makes Missouri look blue. Who knows? But I need to get this information to Todd before he puts his house on the market.
Not to worry. Unlike me, Todd is normal and doesn’t make major life decisions according to presidential elections. See, twelve years ago I’d had reservations about moving to New Mexico because I felt that in five to ten years it would turn into California. I’d lived in the Bay Area long enough to see residents turn their state into something unbearable, then flee to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona, only to turn those states into…well, California. When we were looking at moving to New Mexico, the state was boasting about their expanding high-tech empire: Silicon Mesa. But, this being a desert, that too was a mirage.
One reason to seriously consider a move to the Kansas City area is this: I’m not aware of any exodus from the Left Coast to either Kansas or Missouri.
