Now that's a positive suggestion
Matt's absolutely right. Officially, this is a bunch of loose talk that's unpatriotic. Although I'm a little bit unclear as to how this can be the case when Jesus Land is always strutting around with the symbol of the only time part of the United States tried to leave the union (over slavery, if I recall correctly). I mean, it's not like the future part of Canada wasn't bitch slapped during this election by the "Nascar" crowd. But I digress.
Nursing my schadenfreude, I note that it would be truly delicious to surgically remove the fifth largest economy in the world and join it up with our friends in the north. And I'm really jazzed that the right coast is part of a contiguous, friendly frozen land. No doubt the land value will rise as the global temperature does. It's a good investment.
I doubt we'd get southern California, though. Arnie wants to be President for life of Jesus land, and he can't have his summer palace being located in another country. That won't do at all.

On behalf of my canuck brothers and sisters, I'd like to welcome our eleventh through thirtieth provinces.
You know all that stuff about swearing allegience to her majesty, right?

Who cares. We get health care, right? And what about Cirque du Soleil tickets? Do we get some sort of break on those?

Yes on healthcare. Dunno about Cirque du Soleil tickets, I thought they were Americans now.
Seriously, this sucks, but while I'm ashamed to say it, I was hating the fact that Kerry was going to be put into the driver seat of a car going over a cliff. At least now Bush has to clean his own vomit off the carpet.

Yea, but I'd like to believe that there was a chance to save things. I really fear the scope of the damage these jokers will do is seriously underestimated. Just look at the past 4 years. And that was without anything approaching a mandate. They are admitting no limits now.
Say hello to China and a newly revitalized Putin. Hope y'all can take care of things while we spend the next four years trying to drag you all under with us in our epileptic spasms of religious imperialism.
My god what a mess.

Jesusland!
I love it!

Actually, land values in the Norteast USA (Southeast USC?) will fall under the most accurate global warming model out there. As the North Atlantic conveyor continues to move south as result of the melting Artic ice taking the warmer Jet Stream surface temperatures with it, NE America and most of populus Europe will experience declining temperatures.
Land values will be rising, however, in Siberia.

Siberia it is then. How fitting :)

I think it would defintiely be good to cut So Cal off and fold it into happy Jesusland. I suggest making the divide somewhere North of Bakersfield and Fresno, since both those places suck and would provide no benefit to the new Republic of Canada. The liberals in Hollywood can get off their arses and move north. And let's face it, that won't be a problem since they already spend most of their time in Vancouver, because it's nice n cheap to shoot there.
