Watching the DNC right now and Jesse Jackson, Jr just invoked good old fashioned "Midwestern values." What the hell is that, exactly? They have a monopoly on some sort of values out there that we should aspire to?
Important note, this is a bipartisan sin. It's really a nonpolitical thing.
What about good old fashioned northeastern intelligence and achievement? What about good old fashioned west coast creativity?
It would seem that if there were a value that should be held above others, it would involve humility. Invoking "Midwestern values" the way people do doesn't seem very humble, though.
