Dear Red States

Ok, it's probably not appropriate to be sharing this little bit of internet humor (courtesy of the SaltyVicar), but it's been a long day of wrestling with Bookends (my new, highly lauded, but proving frustratingly complicated bibliographic software program). The piece begins:
Dear Red States:

We're ticked off at the way you've treated California, and 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.

We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Opryland.

etc. etc.
