Election BLOCKBUSTER Just In

This was forwarded to me moments ago:

Subject: FW: Election Update

WASHINGTON D.C. - (AP) Following an emergency meeting this morning,
> Congress unanimously voted to excise Florida from the United States of

> Presidential election. "This is the last straw," said Utah senator Orrin
> Hatch. "First Elian Gonzales, now this."
>
> Several congressmen told reporters the decision has been a long time
> coming. "We're all pretty much sick of Florida," said Representative
> Barney Frank. "They've been a constant embarrassment for too long now."
> Added Frank, "They had Dan Marino for a while, but what have they done
> lately? Oh that's right, screw up our entire democracy. I forgot."
>
> In a speech on the Senate floor, Massachusetts senator Ted Kennedy
> commented that the loss of Florida's sizable elderly population will free
> up Billions of dollars in social security funds. "These are valuable funds

Part of Florida already did this in the 80's during the Mariel boat lift of riffraff from Cuba. The residents of Monroe County (The Keys) ceded from the United States for about 45 minutes by blocking bridges. They declared themselves a soveriegn nation "The Conch Republic". This was a protest of US immigration policy. The National Guard showed up and the conchs surrendered without a fight. It was time for siesta.

It's an old strategy. Pick a fight with US, lose graciously and apply for foreign aid. Your tax dollars at work. Good one RT!

The bend is your friend!
