Kimmel's rant fits in well with our homegrown rightwingers' racist

How exactly is it racist to point out how filthy and trash-strewn

Because when you look at the states that are consistently at the

etc, - they're all Red States.
 

When you look at a list of the states that GET more from the Federal
