Obama + Mao = Obamao!
I thought this was pretty funny, since our new President-Elect is clearlya socialist, a Marxist, a terrorist, or some combination of the three. I mean, Sarah Palin wouldn't lie, would she? Actually, I don't think she would, because in order to lie about something like that she'd actually have to understand what she was talking about. DING!
(I have no idea where this originally came from, other than that it's from someone called "PhilDragoo.")
But this did get me thinking: Could Obamao maybe get rid of Palin, maybe go Taiwan-style and just kind of cut off Alaska from the rest of the country? (I know that's the reverse of how it happened in China, but I'm trying to make a point. Or at least a post, which is close enough.) Anyway, I know it sounds good at first, but as far as I can tell there are exactly three problems with this. Yes, only three. They are:
- We need the oil/gas we get from Alaska, and kicking Alaska out of the Union would only increase our reliance on foreign oil, which we all know is a bad thing. Because, you know, increasing our reliance on domestic oil is totally cool and okay.
- With no Alaska, where would all the people that are too crazy for Montana move to?
- It might--and this is the most important one--mess with the filming of the next season of Deadliest Catch--since I just assume that filming in a foreign country/foreign waters is more difficult and/or complicated than filming in the good old US of A's waters. Probably. I'm not really sure this applies, but it's not a chance I'm willing to take.
That being the case, I guess we'll have to live with things as they are for the time being, but check back with me in 2012 ...
