NOW IT MAKES SENSE

Dear Red States,

We're ticked off at the way you've treated California, and we've decided
we're leaving.

We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue
States with us.

In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.

We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially
to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly:

You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

We get stem cell research and the best beaches.

We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get WalMart.

We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.

We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You
get Alabama.

We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay
their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian
Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single
moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war,
and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you
need people to fight, ask your evangelicals.

They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no
purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their
children's caskets coming home.

We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but
we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of
the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and
lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's
quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent
of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S.
low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy
and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88
percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs),
92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes,
90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists,
virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones
University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless
we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that
evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11
and 61 percent of you crazy *******s believe you are people with higher
morals than we lefties.

By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed
they grow in Mexico.

We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay.


Ken Lay died last July. His conviction was vacated. There was no Corpus to
Habeus.

We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.


Gee Ken, what was left of WorldCom was sold off to Verizon last January. It
is not part of MCI any longer.


We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.



Best looking women in the world go to Ole' Miss. I've seen the gals at
Harvard. I think your population replacement rates are going to implode.


We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get
Alabama.



Alabama may be the best BassFishin' state in the country.


We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay
their fair share.



Won't have to pay many taxes once we get rid of all those pinko social
programs.

Golly Ken, please don't go. I can't stand to lose access to all that
wonderful pineapple and lettuce. You can also forget the water resources.
I have already organized insurgency cells to take control of the Great
Lakes. It is well demonstrated that Libs cannot deal with any armed
conflict so the resident Libs in this area will cut and run to the coast(s)
as soon as we light up a few.

By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed
they grow in Mexico.


This explains quite a bit actually.

Ken, didn't take much for ol' Rodney to hook you up good. Merry Christmas.

Tell you what, you report Rodney to the Net Kops for
posting off-topic and I'll turn you in for top-posting. ;-)

And just to get back on-topic, here's an old shot of a
Blue State steelhead. ;-)

Merry Christmas,

No, actually I challenge morons.

No need to challenge you, as you have exposed yourself as a moron.

Thanks, you saved me some time and effort!

Lighten up, It was a joke.... Move on, life is to short man.... lol
With the weather being to cold to fish in the lakes, it's still a hoot to
fish for the elusive, yet easily pursuaded, Opus fish. Once found, he bites
easily.

Merry Christmas, even to you, Opus,

Doug

And a happy Id al-Adha to you!

Id al-Adha (a.k.a. the Feast of Sacrifice or Day of Sacrifice) occurs during
the 12th month of the Islamic year. This immediately follows the Hajj
(pilgrimage to Mecca). It recalls the day when Abraham intended to follow
the instructions of God, and sacrifice his son Ishmael. (This is not a typo;
Muslims believe that Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his elder son
Ishmael; Judeo-Christians believe that it was Isaac who was involved in the
near sacrifice).

No joke!

Op --Allah is God and Muhammed is his Prophet--
