Banished from New England

That's it Connecticut is expelled. Even better: excommunicated. A recent poll shows that the citizens of the Nutmeg State prefer the Yankees to the Red Sox by a 43-37 margin. (The other 10% actually admit to being Mets fans.)

As I wrote years ago (in my resolution for the succession of New England from the union) Connecticut is the least New England of the New England states. In fact, I'd like to get a big saw and cut it away as Bugs Bunny does to Florida in a memorable cartoon ("South America, take it away!).
