Yes, Virginia, we are the Internet Capital

from the what-are-you-smoking dept

OK, so Al Gore invented the Internet, but Tennessee (Gore's home state) couldn't beat Virginia to the big claim: Capital of the Internet. That's right, they're even printing license plates commemorating it. The basis of their claim isn't historical or economic, just pure politics. Something about their Governor being "the Internet Governor". Tobacco is Virginia's biggest export, but they must have bought the funny stuff on eBay before they made this decision...
