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, 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. You get Sara Palin and Ralph Reed.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get the world's largest ball of twine. We get Intel, Apple and Microsoft. You get WalMart. We get Harvard. You get Liberty University. 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, Broadway, Big Sur, The Great Lakes 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.

Peace out, Blue States

Someone tell the author here that the red states have most of the guns and all the military bases.

Those northern blue states are going to be really blue when those southern red states cut off their energy supply. I hear it gets awfully cold up there during the winter.

Really? The Red states are the only suppliers of energy? I guess we'll have to deal with our neighbors to the North...

So much for Obama's emotional calls for unity. :roll:

BTW, slavery was abolished in all US states with the ratification of the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution in 1865.

And it only took until the 1960's and several Federal Court orders for y'all to let y'alls nigras vote...mighty progressive of ya...
(although you still throw up every possible objection to keep them from voting Democrat.)

Pffft. Maybe I will move to Jesusland. All we have to do is close our eyes and talk to ourselves at night, and we get everything we want.

But don't forget...if you move to Mormon Jesusland, you have to wear the fancy underwear...(kids sometimes don't turn out right when they've been strained through the garments)...AND, you have to cross your arms when you speak to Gawd...(why is that? Are they pissed at Gawd? Are they impatient for him to actually DO something?)

Good luck with that. Besides, you still gotta send it down south to get it refined into usable product. I am sure the red states will be willing to renegotiate prices in Feb.

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),

Can anyone verify this?

Verify? This email was written years ago and many of the red states have turned to blue. Most of the statistics are probably made up anyway.

Poor kids can't take a clearly labeled joke.

Jokes try to be funny... not bitterly divisive.

And I live in a blue state and voted for Obama, so don't play the "you can't take a joke" card.

Oh come on, UGA can't be that bad can it? I've always thought the campus was nice at least.
