What is it like to live in upstate NY? A very different world from most people's impression of the cosmo lifestyle of NYC, that is for sure! But what is it really like? Well, I think it is pretty much like living in central VT, most of NH (at least the northern 2/3) and all of Maine. What? You don't live there. Well, that's because few people (relatively speaking) do. So here is your postcard of the somewhat insane (and certainly surreal) world of Upstate NY.
These two videos are from Saturday Night Live's satires of our NY governor, David Paterson.
Video #1 - "I want somebody from upstate... somebody with a game-y arm or big gums and tiny teeth." "What do I have against New Jersey? Unfortunately, a southern border!"
Video #2 - On our current junior senator (Gillibrand) and her 100% NRA approval rating - "C'mon, Upstate is like 'Deliverance' with snow tires."
