Good. Take Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia and GTFO.

Throw in KY, TN and WV. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

But St. Louis and New Orleans should be declared entrepôt free cities. (The Slave Staters hate them anyway.)

Well, Missouri did vote for a dead man instead of John Ashcroft, so there might be some hope for them.

Those three states can go, but NC and VA are invited to remain in the USA.

I switched up, since the only part of MO worth saving is StL.

We keep VA for the DC suburbs and NC for the ribs (southern whites eat that TX crap anyway).

Texas crap? Dry rubbed is the only way to go unless you're talking chicken or pork shoulder.

The problem with dry rub is that while 5% of the time it's edible, 95% of the time it's awful.

Also, having lived in NC for a while there's just no going back once you've been to heaven.

North Carolina had a shot at being a decent state with a decent economy. Then the derps got back in power and boom there it went.

Only a matter of time. Like VA, it's within a decade of the tipping point to civilization. '08 was a bit of a premature fluke, but the future's clear.

Ever so slowly, the chimpanzees are driving the gorillas into smaller and smaller reservations. We'll never be rid of them -- gorilla women are fertile and have no other skills -- but Containment is at hand.

All the pearl clutching about Obamacare and fantasizing about nullification and secession are a dead giveaway -- they know they can't win an honest game, so they're hoping to kick over the table.

An honest game? What kind of quaint notion is that?

That sounds racist.

I realize some concepts of science can be difficult to understand, but this is basic human anatomy.

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/gop-lawmaker-flunks-anatomy-101

An Idaho lawmaker received a brief lesson on female anatomy after asking if a woman can swallow a small camera for doctors to conduct a remote gynecological exam.

The question Monday from Republican state Rep. Vito Barbieri came as the House State Affairs Committee heard nearly three hours of testimony on a bill that would ban doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine.

Dr. Julie Madsen was testifying in opposition to the bill when Barbieri asked the question. Madsen replied that would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina.

I applaud her for not laughing out loud at the stupidity of such a question.

I understand that when you're four and your mommy's tummy gets big you might not grasp the differences between a uterus and the stomach, but when you're a grown up and still think babies are carried in the tummy there's something very, very wrong with you. Also, babies are not delivered by storks.

Wait... filibusters are bad now?

LOL. You'll justify anything as long as that clown Itch and the Bone Man get their way.

No, it shows a complete lack of a clue as to exactly what Itch has done for the last 6 years and what he's attempting to do now. People think Harry is bad? Harry's a pussycat compared to that clown.

Well, technically filibusters aren't the biggest problem -- super-majority cloture votes are the biggest problem. Cloture votes are necessary (otherwise debate never ends) but they should be simple majority, for everything from DC dog catcher to omnibus spending bills. Filibusters are dumb but they carry their own de-legitimization, and at least they're obvious.

The only exception is SCOTUS nominees, because they are so powerful for so long. 1/9th of the Judiciary for 36 years carries at least as much impact as a presidential term. But even in those cases I might prefer the up/down vote threshold to be changed and have cloture still be simple majority (having the vote be a higher threshold than the cloture vote self-enforces good behavior for obvious reasons).
