The good thing about that is according to the Mayans the world is going to end 12/22/12 so we won't have to endure much of her presidency. As a bonus, the few survivors will blame her for the zombie apocolypse

NPR.org, April 28, 2009 · During the campaign, President Obama talked a good game about bipartisanship. Now he has the perfect opportunity to achieve something that people on both sides of the aisle desperately want: kicking Texas out of the union.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently implied that Texas might need to leave the United States if the mean old federal government doesn't stop doing things like sending stimulus money and slightly raising the top marginal tax rates. These things being obvious markers of impending fascism (unlike, say, unapologetically institutionalizing a global torture regime), Perry thinks it's time to go. Unsurprisingly, a majority of Texas Republicans approved of these remarks.

Texas asking Blue America for a divorce is like a woman asking her boyfriend if he'd like to sit around all day drinking Miller and watching football, or like the Patriots offering Tom Brady to the taterskins for a 19th-round draft pick. Befuddled liberals can only shake their heads in gratified amazement while they pop the cap on their first beer, settle into the sofa and watch Brady pilot the 'Skins to the Super Bowl.

The transition should be peaceful — no need for 600,000 Americans to die like the last time a state tried to leave the union. These kinds of things are best handled with negotiations — just ask the Czechs and the Slovaks, who dissolved Czechoslovakia like an old married couple who remain great friends but just don't want to sleep together anymore.

First, Texas should be given the option of taking neighboring Oklahoma, Alabama and Louisiana with them. These states are reliably deep red, and are also three of the biggest tax drains in the country, raking in federal dollars while kvetching about Obama's tyranny. In return, the U.S. gets to keep the liberal oasis of Austin, like the little swath of Azerbaijan surrounded by Armenia and Iran.

Second, Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton should immediately be seized by the Washington Nationals as part of the deal. The Washington Wizards should also demand star San Antonio point guard Tony Parker, who is French and therefore probably unwelcome in what is likely to be the violently xenophobic Republic of Texas. The U.S. would, of course, have to cough up some native Texans, like Houston Astros meatballer Brandon Backe.

Finally, the Republic of Texas should arrange a population transfer with the United States, like how Turkey and Greece exchanged all their misplaced Turks and Greeks after the first World War — only this time without the forced marches and famine. Basically, we get all the New Yorker-reading lefties, and Texas can have all the crazies — millenarians with basement stockpiles of semiautomatics, true believers who blockade abortion clinics, paranoiacs who think The Gays are coming to get them, and anyone who believes that evolution is "just a theory."

Getting rid of Texas is a once-a-century opportunity for America's new leader. Texas Republicans have spoken. The only question is, "Are you listening President Obama?"

Wow, I'd jump on this faster than a Salma and Alba invite for a 3-some. We'll also give them Phreak if they'll take Gil Brandt and chop him up into 400 pieces.

Since her Presidency wouldn't actually begin until January 20, 2013, we wouldn't have to endure a second of it.  And considering the horrors that would come with a Palin Presidency, I'd say dying in a cataclysm roughly 29 days beforehand would be sweet relief indeed.

Olbermann challenges Hannity to be waterboarded

Since Sean Hannity said he'd be willing to be waterboarded for charity, Keith Olbermann offered him $1,000 a second to do it during last night's "Countdown." Now a website has been set up around Olbermann's challenge.

Any chance we can lock them both in a room and pump it full of venomous snakes or carbon monoxide or napalm?

[Sgt PSN]

why not all 3? 

[rjs246]

I'd feel bad for the snakes.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Olbermann will have to up the $1000 ante.

Eh...you never know.  People thought the same in '76 until Carter farged things up even worse.  The GOP abandoned just about every principal they had regarding fiscal conservatism under Bush and have no right trying to preach it now, but come 2012 with the Socialist path the country is on...you never know.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Jobless rates were/are at record highs and markets were at historic lows.  I've said it before that there is literally almost nothing Obama could do to stop things from improving.  Whether he does very little or tries to do a lot, he will be perceived as the catalyst to economic improvement.

The President gets too much blame when things go bad and too much credit when they turn for the better.  Double that with Bush farging the party three ways to Sunday, and it's the perfect storm for a permanent leftward shift in the county.

Another feather in W's cap..he destroyed his own party ...Endorsing Specter was really a big help.   It's hard to believe how far reaching his incompetence was/is
