You can’t call any entire state smart or dumb. Because every state is filled with buffoons bringing down geniuses like me.

The "Washington Post" just ranked all 50 states from smartest to dumbest based on four factors:  Average IQ scores, SAT and ACT scores this year and the percentage of college grads.

And the smartest states in the country are Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Kansas, Vermont, Iowa, New Jersey and Colorado.

The dumbest state is Hawaii.  Which is surprising, since the people there are the only ones smart enough to realize you can live on an island paradise and still be part of America.

The rest of the 10 least intelligent states are: Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, West Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Arizona.

But what about Wyoming? They say we’re right in the middle.
