The Catalogue of Philanthropy has released its 2004 Generosity Index. I haven't looked at the underlying methodology carefully (and I wonder if the differences are caused by interstate cost of living differentials), but it appears that those awful benighted red-staters are more charitable than states populated by lots of caring liberals. MS, AR, and OK are the top three while RI, MA, and NH are the bottom three. Amazingly, the top 25 states are all states that went for Bush.
