3. I don't think Jesus would appreciate being associated with war
mongers, bigots, people who enjoy mistreating the poor and middle class, people who elevate the rich, people who hurt other people on purpose.

O Canada, we plead to cede to thee

By HOWARD GENSLER


ADOPT US, O Canada!

As a blue-red split continues in the Divided States of America, we note that every blue state is contiguous to Canada or to a another blue state that is contiguous to Canada, except Hawaii - that's not contiguous to anything but a lot of blue water that's contiguous to Canada.

Therefore, we've got an idea. How about a sort of second American Revolution, Canada, in which you annex all the blue states, liberate us from King George, and thus become the world's sole superpower.

What Canada Gets:

• Higher education: All eight Ivy League universities, Stanford, U. Chicago and Northwestern all just lowered their admissions standards for the kids from Saskatchewan.

WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE:

A Daily News Graphic

• Serious sports: Forget the Super Bowl. With the Eagles, Patriots, Steelers, Jets, Vikings and Packers, the Grey Cup is where it's at.

You get the Expos back as they're now in D.C. But who needs the Expos when you've got the Red Sox, Yankees, Twins, Mariners, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Phillies and Pirates. The World Series is coming! The World Series is coming!

The Raptors are Canada's favorite basketball team? We don't think so.

What about Flyers-Maple Leafs? Flyers-Canadiens? Settle the strike and drop the puck.

• Warm-weather vacations: Sun yourselves whenever you want in Southern California or Hawaii at Canada's beautiful beaches.

• The cultural arts: Tourists will love Canada's museums including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Natural History and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Plus, in addition to Broadway, the Kennedy Center and top regional theater, we're throwing in our best orchestras - Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and L.A.

<<<<more>>>>

BTW: What the Red States get - EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT

6. The Confederacy should take this offer
Originally it had only 11 states. This plan gives them more than 30. Also, since D.C. would be in Canada, the new capital could be in Austin.

Seriously, this is a lot closer to happening than many people think. No one thought the Soviet Union would crack up until about a year before it actually did so and when it occurred it happened almost overnight. A big enough financial crisis would be the trigger.

If the rich western and northern states would just tell Jesusland to go its way--please, just go away, freaks--without owing any of the national debt, it very well could be an agreeable scenario for all concerned.

5. I love it!!
I had it in my head as a visual that I was going to make (sans the "Jesusland," which is very funny). Now I won't have to make it--just send it around.
