It’s another hectic day here in the CatBox.  The notary that was coming yesterday caught cold, so we need to reschedule.  The Nameless News is good.  His Echocardiogram was comparable to earlier versions.  He gets to do hos pharmacological stress test as an outpatient.  He goes home today.  Both the OT and PT cleared him to get out of bed and walk around on hid own power.  His view if that? “YIPPEE!”  At last text, he was dressed, packed, and waiting to go home, so I trust we’ll be hearing from him before too long. This morning I have another video meeting with prison volunteers and former prisoners.  My Broncos are playing the Raiders this afternoon, but it won’t be televised here.  Have a great day.

A Fwd. from Mitch (Ours, not BBMMM):

Dear Red States,

If you manage to steal this election, TOO, we’ve decided we are leaving.

We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue states with us.

In case your aren’t aware, that includes: California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all of 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 the Statute of Liberty. You get Dollywood.

We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

We get Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss.

We get 85% 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% lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families.

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 and Afghanistan at once.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country’s fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation’s fresh fruit, 95% of America’s quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa), all living redwoods, sequoias, and condors, all the Ivy League and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech, UCLA, Berkeley and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand you will have to cope with 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62%believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing war, the death penalty, or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals than we lefties.

Finally, we are taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed you get from Mexico.

Peace out,

Blue States 

Short Take:

From YouTube (a blast from Woodstock): Jimi Hendrix The Star Spangled Banner American Anthem Live at Woodstock 1969

Seeing this in person at Woodstock, I felt swelled with pride that this is my country too, and I will not let Nazis take it away from me. During this transition, I feel the same thing.  RESIST!!
