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 California , Hawaii , Oregon , Washington , Minnesota , 
Wisconsin , Michigan , Illinois and the entire 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 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 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 frui t, 95 percent of 
America's quality wines, 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 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 war , 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.
Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed 
they grow in Mexico
.
Peace out,
Blue States
