Dear Red States: We're ticked off at your Neanderthal attitudes and politics, and we've decided we're leaving (just as you tried once). We in the Blue States intend to form our own country. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of The Enlightened States of America (E.S.A). And you Red Staters will finally have the grand Utopia you’ve always wanted. To summarize: You get Texas, Oklahoma, and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. You get Bobby Jindal and Todd Akin. We get Chris Christie as a free agent. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. 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 can try to make the red states pay their fair share. Good luck! We get science; you get faith in an invisible hand. We get a cool prez. You get wild-eyed, crazy clowns like Bachmann, Perry, both Pauls, Gingrich, Cain (hahahaha), Santorum (google it), and Schwarzenegger. We’ve got the Kennedys, you get the Bushes. 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 who can't feed their kids without assistance. We get most of the US low sulphur coal and natural gas, all living redwoods, sequoias, condors and snail darters, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT, and 90 percent of the high-tech industry. With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, 90% of the fresh vegetables, 92% of the fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners), and 90% of all the milk and cheese. You get the corn syrup. We’ll buy bread from your wheat so you have some revenue. (Look the word up.) With the Red States you will cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Coulter, and the rest of the know-nothing loudmouth bigots, Bob Jones University (speaking of bigots), and Oral Roberts University (Go Oral!) We get Hollywood, art galleries and museums, Yosemite National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Isle Royale National Park, and what’s left of Glacier National Park. You get Yellowstone, so at least we’ll visit once in a while. Until you drill it into desolation. We get Canada as our neighbor; you get Mexico, your supply of cheap labor since that damned Lincoln. 38% of you in the Red States believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 73% believe Noah gathered two of everything (including mosquitoes) and built a really big boat where he maintained peace and harmony between carnivores and everyone else. 68% think the world is 5,000 years old and dinosaurs walked with Adam and Steve (I mean Eve). 44% think evolution is an unproven theory. (Some probably don’t believe in gravity.) By the way, 90% of your homophobes are self-hating gays. 62% of Red-Staters believe life is sacred (unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws). 53% believe that Saddam was involved in 9/11, and 72% say it was really Dubya who got Osama. 61% of you believe you have higher morals than we lefties. We’ll take that challenge. Do you really want to see Jesus return to pull the lever for the Democratic Party on election day? And we're taking the good weed too. You can have that crap they grow in Mexico. Sincerely, The Free Citizens of the Enlightened States of America |

![]() I was so happy I switched to Fox as soon as CNN called it. That was the highlight of the election to see Karl Rove still in the bubble like that!

![]() Im really surprised that Megyn Kelly is still working for Fox. I didn't see it, but I read that she made Mitt very uncomfortable when she asked him about his gaffes and I remember her gaffe about pepper spray being "just a food product."

![]() Ten Females Who Cost Mitt Romney the Presidency.
Raging Moderate, by Will Durst Holey moley catfish. Well, thank god that’s finally over. Further thanks that the climax was quick and clean. Almost surgical. Not as long a night as many first thought it might be. Except for Karl Rove that is, who for all we know is still scribbling numbers to prove the call on Clinton’s re-election win in 1996 was premature. And as usual, Florida did all it could to gum things up, but was eventually rendered irrelevant. And long may it remain so. In the end, President Barack Obama trounced, er, battered, um, eked-out a victory — or to be more precise, Mitt Romney lost. Or shall we say, found a thousand ways to lose. Except for one brief, shining moment in the first debate, virtually carrying with him a defeat diviner. And each and every one of his failures can be traced directly to females. The distaff of life. Single women. Married women. Old women. Young women. Ladies and divas and flappers and baby mamas; duchesses, priestesses, shorties and floozies. So here they are, the top ten females who cost Mitt Romney the presidency, each of them representing one of the myriad factors that helped construct the unelectable mosaic that became Bain’s Captain of Industry: Michele Bachmann. Mitt had to draft on her right wing to win the primary battle, and when he tried to tack back to the center appeared not to be the Washington Outsider he claimed, but a typical politician with the core values of a hollowed-out chocolate Easter Bunny. With really good hair. Newly elected U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts. A state the former governor lost by 23 points. Proof positive the man arouses the enduring passion of a broken garden rake. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who took foreign policy off the table, making the entire election about the economy which kept getting better, gol darn it. And who can forget her husband. He certainly won’t let us. Sandra Fluke, who gave a face to the GOP’s Paleolithic Bronze Age attitudes towards women, further exacerbated by the fact that no man in the party could seemingly shut up about it. Michelle Obama, who is just darn likable. As is her husband. A stark contrast to Romney’s cyborg demeanor and obvious discomfort around members of the human species. Superstorm Sandy, for providing the opportunity for the president to look presidential and for Obama and Chris Christie to French kiss on Atlantic City’s Boardwalk ,crystalizing the concept that bipartisanship is not the saddest word. That’s “goodbye.” Ann Romney, who would have made a simply terrific first lady. For Dwight D. Eisenhower. Candy Crowley, who single-handedly halted Romney’s momentum in the second debate by speaking way above her pay grade. Don’t you hate it when the help speaks out of turn? All the Wal-Mart Moms, who never really understood that whole Cayman Islands bank account thing marking him not as the poster child for the 1 percent, but as the poster child for the .0001 percent of the 1 percent. And the last female responsible for Romney’s loss; Rafalca the 15-year old mare who, while wearing the Romney silks in Olympic Dressage, failed to make the medal round and was probably shipped home strapped to the fuselage of a 747. Seriously, Mitt. Dressage? —– Five-time Emmy nominee Will Durst’s new e-book, “Elect to Laugh!” published by Hyperink, now available at Redroom.com, Amazon or any fine virtual book retailer near you
