#1 Red VS blue states

Post by Ace Pace »

Shamelessly crossposting.

EDIT: IT's a flaming joke, if you take it seriously, re-examine yourself with an anal buttplug.
Dear Red States...

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

We get stem cell research and the best beaches.

You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

We get Elliot Spitzer.

You get Ken Lay.

We get the Statue of Liberty.

You get Dollywood.

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 redneck hillbilly white trash jobless truck driving yokels, and pregnant teen 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 bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.

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

I thought it was amusing personally. And to some degree rather true.

Well then claiming that it is just a theory is a perfectly valid point of view. It may be a theory that has consiserably more to recommend it in the way of empirical evidence than say, creationism, but it's a theory nonetheless.

Yes I know Ace posted it as a joke and we're not meant to take it seriously. I just felt the burning need to point that out because, well it's more interesting than applying a rubber stamp to several hundred envelopes, which is what I would be doing otherwise.

It is. I wish they'd at least let me listen to the radio or something. :(

WHen ehtye say "just a theory" they mean it in the laymans sense, which generally means speculation.

As for the Blue states... they get to put up with horribly high property values because they have legistlated a no-build zone around every major city (in the case of Cali) or simply have horribly high real estate taxes making rent contgrolled apartments family hierlooms
