Okay, Hillary can stay ... BUT ... Florida must go!
Seriously, what has America's Wang (TM) done for us lately?


They gave us this in 2000


And give us this guy 81 times a year


And when was the last time the Miami Dolphins lead the NFL in anything other than arrests?


And that isn't a Buc's sweatshirt Tony is wearing as he hoists the Lombardi, is it--and you know it should have been.



In short ...



How's that for a compromise? :evilgrin:

2. Hey, it's not my fault we can count our votes, support the Sawx and Pat's ..
and have the decency not to be shaped like a flaccid penis. :P

6. Pro ball sucks.
And what college team had last year's Heisman Trophy winner plus the national championship in football the year before that, and won two basketball championships in a row at the same time?

Oh yeah ... the Florida Gators!!


As for Florida being shaped like a penis, I'm totally fine with that. But I do have one question: If Florida is a penis, what are the Florida Keys? :hide:

7. The best part of Florida that ended up a mattress stain?
:shrug:

As for the Florida Gators, do you think we all have such short memories? Well, I guess I do, since I forgot this reason to kick Florida to the curb like the $2 trollop she is:

10. Ah, so we should look at a team's whole history when discussing it?
In that case, despite recent gains, the Red Sox still blow chunks. :P

14. No, no, no ... see, you too fell for it
The 84 years? All part of the magic. What kind of a story would it have been to take 4 in a row from the Yankees in the ALCS then going on to win the WS if we did it *every* year? No kind of story, that's what kind.

And just wait until you see what the Pats have in store for next season --- 25-0! (There's a plan, but I can't say anything more or I'd have to ... well, you know).

1. I'm all for kicking them out of the union. Can we sell it back to Spain?

5. 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Too late. After all, as goes DU GD P, so goes the country. DU has spoken--and by that I mean I have spoken and we all know the ramblings of one lone lunatic are all it takes to move mountains ... and dissolve the union.

8. I don't know...perhaps we could just move all their Dems to Texas and export our Repugs there
Edited on Fri May-23-08 03:08 PM by Lone_Star_Dem
That way we'd get control of the EVs from Texas and gain the house and senate seats. I've got room for two. :D

11. But I don't wanna live in Texas!
:cry:



You leave the U.S.! Texas has a better claim on being kicked out anyway -- it's the only state that was ever its own country, after all.

12. Ahh, I'm sorry.
Edited on Fri May-23-08 03:14 PM by Lone_Star_Dem
I can't say as I blame you. It does get hot here in the summers. But since I wasn't advocating your state to be sawed off and set adrift, how about you let mine stay too. :pals:

On edit: I was just coveting your Dem population and thinking what we cold do if we united. It caused me to go bonkers for a minute. :P

13. OK...
Although, I gotta say, Texas as its own country would be kinda cool. :)


As for Florida, while I don't want it gotten rid of, I do think South Florida should secede from North Florida. :woohoo:

9. at times, it sucks, but there is nothing like the feel of powder-soft, cool, cool, white sand
beneath your feet, or the everglades, or the 4ft tall cranes that visit my yard.
And we all know that Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas.

Keep the state - just relocate a portion of the population!

17. Just think how much better it could be as its own little entity, though
I'm sure tourism would still be allowed.

16. You know
I am ok with keeping Florida on as a territory, rather than a state. I just wish we could get a really big trenching machine and physically separate it, just to emphasize the point to the rest of the world

18. Incidentally... If FL is "America's wang", what does that make WV?

19. But without Florida, where will loud, uncouth Yankees with entitlement issues
go to drive gargantuan RV's very slowly in the left lane, steal salt & pepper shakers from the restaurants, and complain endlessly about how nobody here does things they way they do back in Lawn Guy Land?

Do you really want to have to keep those people closer to home?
