2. Right-wingers like saying the East Coast is the "left coast."

The West Coast is the left coast, thanks to California and it's crazy liberal ways.

4. Don't forget "fly over country", all of us poor smucks that don't live on the east or west coast.

5. That's when the kite is about to hit the tree on the left.

Poor Charlie Brown.

6. And in a related matter, by far most of humanity live in the northern hemisphere.
