Just So We're Clear...

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. 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, 97 percent 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 bastards
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
