Well, duh. Hell, we'll help 'em pack God knows that every time Your Wonkette runs a story about some new idiocy coming out of a former state of the Confederacy, incredulous commenters have to ask "Why did we even let them rejoin the Union?" Travel writer Chuck Thompson decided that the question was worth exploring beyond the level of snotty blog comments (not that there's anything

Seriously, and trying not to stereotype every inhabitant of the South, the thing is that some "Southern" states have got very substantial majorities of people who have opinions that conflict with the opinions of substantial majorities in "Northern" states. Sometimes, those of us in the "northern" states may fail to make the distinction between the majority opinion and the dissenters in the "southern" states. It's hard to do politically correct snark.

I know once the wall went up I&#039;d make a point of doing a stint performing welcoming duties to those long-suffering southerners needing to escape. A hug, a hot meal, a drink, and off to the make-shift Northern Relocation Assistance Bureau. &quot;Worry not, friend, you have a place among us.&quot;
I&#039;d wave a merry fucking adieu to those that felt the need to &quot;escape&quot; south.
Politicians arrive in Washington hell-bent on following the money.
That&#039;s all I&#039;ve got.
Hey, we get Yosemite. The GC <i>is</i> more unfuckingbelievable, but less accessible.

Well, perhaps some of the QBs could come from Chico or San Mateo. And the porn stars? Have you never heard of the San Fernando Valley?
