Default 1st state in the Union

The governor of Pennsylvania just said on national TV that Pennsylvania was the 2nd state in the Union, after Florida. (interview on MSNBC)

Yikes, is he that desperate, that he would rewrite history to get a new primary vote in Florida?

Fast Eddie has a habit of saying stupid things. A couple weeks ago he called the citizens of his own state a bunch of racists.

Actually, Sam, I think you may have misheard Fast Eddie. I think he was talking about the average age of citizens in the state. I think he was saying PA has the second oldest average population, after Florida.
