WE'RE NUMBER FOUR!
Blue-State Generosity

It's nice to learn Philadelphians aren't merely friendly, good-looking, intelligent, and sophisticated, but also quite generous.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports today that contributions to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief from in and around the city came in at an estimated $39 million.

On a per capita basis, the Philadelphia region ranked fourth-highest among the nation's metropolitan areas, tied with New York, but behind leaders Seattle, San Francisco, and Boston, in that order.

Damn Blue Staters, wreaking havoc on the kinder end of the curve for the rest of the country.
