You know who else that no one thought had a military ended up sending it into other countries?

So <i>all</i> of Vermont's helicopters have been gone for a year? We are incredibly lucky that Canada did not take advantage of the situation.

Think about it - if Canada took over Vermont, they would have a stranglehold on maple syrup supplies. Vital American interests like IHOP would be at their mercy.

Wait until Vermont finds out that Blagojevich sold the helicopters in 2008. They are fucking valuable things!
