   Great stuff! I had to google Nisei and Wigger Day, hadn't heard of   
   *that* Notre Dame before, and not of Alamogordo, either. And I'm not   
   sure about the justification of some of the insults (cow? pig?), but I   
   enjoyed them just the same.   
      
   (Oh, and I realized that the caption is part of the LHS only when I   
   threw the whole beast in an anagram checker.)   
      
   An amazing piece of work, far beyond my capabilities (or at least beyond   
   the patience I am willing to devote to a single anagram), but it made me   
   wonder: What could I do with just the letter codes of the 50 states? See   
   for yourself:   
      
   AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS   
   MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV   
   WI WY

   What rich men want: Drink only milk.   
      
   To make the letters say something relevant about the US instead is left   
   as an exercise for the reader. :o)
