I've never been a big fan of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher (can't stand him, actually), but the show has been running a particularly inspired bit called the Stupidest State in America.
It is, as the title indicates, a tournament-style showdown to determine which state is indeed the stupidest in the United States. The competition has been whittled down to the final four:

Texas
Mississippi
BONEHEAD CONFERENCE
Alabama
Arizona
