Philly is just one toxic city while New Jersey is a whole toxic state.

BTW I never really found Forbes to be that creditable a magazine simply because it's owner is so obviously a political douche bag.

Has California finished draining the west's aquifers dry yet?

No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
