   Thank you kindly.  Feedback makes all the letter-juggling worthwhile.

   Any insults are fairly light-hearted, if memory serves.   
     Do you think this would work better:   
      
   Iowa:                     "A cow. Again."   
   North Carolina:           "A pig..."   
      
   ...as if someone were looking out a car window while driving through?   
   These states are near/at the top of the list for production/growing   
   said livestock.

   A tricky task and a fun solution.  I like the idea of milk, rather   
   than oil, being such a driving force.   
      
      
   I doubt I'd come up with anything relevant _and_ good.  But here's a   
   quick stab, with liberal input from the stereotype pot:   
      
   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

   Flag-wavin' KKK dad and many-chin momma, downtown mall, v. trashy TV,   
   rich Jews in country's cockpit, Vietnam.mil, damn amazin' sex.
