    I'm sure the dems are wondering why these tapes didn't appear a little sooner than now. They surely would have destroyed dubya's image with the ol' church goin' folks. If they would have come out prior to Nov., the entire world would be in a tizzy and outraged. But now since dubya is a sitting duck, this will all be forgotten in due time. "What's the point, eh?"

    From the board associated with the story:

    Dear President Bush:

    Congratulations on your victory over all us non-evangelicals.

    Actually, we're a bit ticked off here in California, so we're leaving.

    California will now be its own country. And we're taking all the Blue States with us. In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and all of the North East.

    We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will be beneficial to almost everybody, and especially to us in the new country of California. In fact, God is so excited about it, she's going to shift the whole country at 4:30 pm EST this Friday. Therefore, please let everyone know they need to be back in their states by then.

    So you get Texas and all the former slave states. We get the Governator, stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay. (Okay, we have to keep Martha Stewart, we can live with that.)

    We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Old Miss.'

    We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get all the technological innovation in Alabama.

    We get about two-thirds of the tax revenue, and you get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms to support, and we know how much you like that.

    Did I mention we produce about 70% of the nation's veggies? But heck the only greens the Bible-thumpers eat are the pickles on their Big Macs. Which means trouble for you because most of the medical innovation in the U.S. happens in blue states, too. Oh yeah, another thing, don't plan on serving California wine at your state dinners. From now on it's imported French wine for you. Ouch, bet that hurts.

    Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice and anti-war. Speaking of war, we're going to want all Blue States citizens back from Iraq. If you need people to fight, just ask your evangelicals.

    They have tons of kids they're willing to send to their deaths for absolutely no purpose. And they don't care if you don't show pictures of their kids' caskets coming home.

    Anyway, we wish you all the best in the next four years and we hope, really hope, you find those missing weapons of mass destruction. Seriously. Soon.

    Sincerely,

    California

    Thanks catchthis and berylblue for taking pity on my miserable unreplied-to thread. Perhaps I made the title a bit too obscure. Oh well.

    Actually, I was somewhat heartened by the story as, from what I know of the content of the tapes, it would seem that perhaps my impression of Bush as being a person who looks at the Southern (or Southern-type) church-going types through rose-colored glasses and us secular liberal types as the spawn of Satan, perhaps he is more nuanced and thoughtful than I give him credit for.

    But then again, these were recorded back when he was governor of Texas, a lot can change in 5 or 6 years.
