Talking the talk follow-up...

Like I said below, speaking the language of religion does not preclude us from being able to go on the offensive, and that includes raising a stink about things like this (Link via The Talent Show... man, I really need to get my blogroll up)

I also said that despite Kevin Drum's wishes, I don't think I can moderate my mockery of at least the insane versions of red staters, especially when I get things like this that are so funny:

Dear Canada,

We are formally requesting your assistance. Our country has been taken over by right-wing fundamentalists, and there does not appear to be an end in sight. We are hereby requesting to join your union, where rational thought seems to have gone after it fled our country. Attached is a pretty map of what our new greater nation will look like. Please help us extend your borders a little further south.

Sincerely, The Blue States

PS. Though we be not large in landmass, we are the economic engine of the country and could certainly help propel Canada to superpower status.
