Default Dear Red States

Dear Red States:


We've decided we're simultaneously 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, California, Oregon, Washington,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, New York, and all of the
Northeastern states. After this election, we'll be adding Colorado and
New Mexico. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation,
especially to the people of our new country - Nuevo California.



To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states; we
get stem cell research, the best beaches, and the best ski resorts. We
get the Statue of Liberty; you get Dollywood. We get Intel and
Microsoft; you get WorldCom. We get Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale,
Cal Tech, MIT and Columbia; 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 that of the
Christian Coalition, we get a bunch of happy families and you get a
bunch of under-educated single moms.



Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war,
and we'll need all of our citizens back from Iraq at once.



If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They apparently have
kids they're willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they
don't mind if you don't televise their kid's caskets coming home. We do
wish you success in Iraq and hope that those Weapons of Mass Destruction
turn up for you, but we're not willing to spend any more of our money in
Bush's Quagmire.



With the Blue States, we will control 80 percent of the country's fresh
water,90 percent of pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's
fresh fruit, 97percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French
wines at your 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, and all the Ivy League and Seven Sister
schools. We also get New England, the Great Lakes and Yosemite, thank
you very much.



In the Red States, 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, 100 percent of tornadoes, 94 percent of hurricanes, 99
percent of Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all
televangelists, and Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bob Jones University,
and Clemson.



Additionally, in the Red States, 38 percent actually believe Jonah was
swallowed by a whale; 62 percent believe life is sacred unless it
involves the death penalty or gun ownership; 44 percent claim that
evolution is only a theory; 53 percent insist that Saddam Hussein was
involved in 9/11; and 61 percent of you crazy *******s believe you have
higher moral standards than those of us on the left.



By the way, we're taking all the good pot, too. You get that dirt weed
from Mexico and Kansas ditches.



Peace out,

The Blue States
