    strategically insignificant flyover state

    Cushing, OK has a bone to pick with this.

      Assuming that is a missile silo or something in which case I stand corrected on that front!

        Major petroleum marketplace. The commodity trading floor is in a big city somewhere else. But a lot of the oil actually changes hands in our around Cushing.

          Gotcha. FWIW I have no bone to pick with Oklahoma at all. If anything the fact that people criticize it for being a backwater probably means that it’s awesome.
