I move that we progressives form our own state. After all, Canada

gave the Inuit their own province, Nunavut.

Where do you think it should be?

11. No. We would definitely cut Eastern Washington loose.
Western Washington is already carrying those deadbeats on the other slope of the Cascades. Let's get rid of 'em for good.

Easties always complain that King County unfairly skews statewide election results, and conveniently forget that the taxpayers in King Co. (and Pierce Co., while we're at it) pay for civic upkeep of all of Eastern Washington.

Eastern Wa. can become "West Idaho" or something. Maybe they'd like to form the new state of "Whiteaho". (Then the feckless "Do-Over Dino Rossi" would finally attain statewide office...) And we'll know where all of those bastards are...

6. How about the United State of America? We just take over and
do the elementary school kids a favor by erasing all those confusing state lines. I know I would have appreciated it as a kid if geography class tests had only required me to scrawl "United State" on one of those idiotic maps

8. Actually Nunavut is a territory
and they can't very well give us Guam, 'cause it'd sink into the Pacific under the weight of all us progressives. :sarcasm:
