An interesting article - surely hope it doesn't come true!

Wanna have fun with alphabet soup?

Sit in on a joint staff (multi component) meeting.

The Army, USAF, Navy and USMC can't agree on which acronym means what. We have a 600 some odd page (and growing) manual that tells staff bubbas which acronym means what to which service.

Oh, I dunno.

You go to a MPH office and you get an EKG with a CBC and a UA, X-Ray, You talk to a NP or an MD to figure out if your BP, HR and overall health is WNL.

A CAT scan or an ECG, maybe?

And a GI series calls for you to go NPO for that BE!

And then you have to worry about R-e-s-p-e-c-t!

SOCK IT TO ME!

Civil war again? I don't think so. Been there, done that. I could see
Russia wanting to believe this prediction, but I cannot believe the scenario
he predicts.


Besides, Sarah Palin is keeping an eye on Russia for us.

" Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces -- with Alaska reverting to Russian control."

The Russians would have to commit a massive amount of their millitary if they could even hope to reclaim Alaskan soil as their own, and they know it. Unless they nuke us. Wishful think on the part of the Russkie economist.

ES, if AK went back to the Russians, America or whats left of it in this scenario would lose alot of natural resources as well as one of the largest shipping hubs between North America and the Orient. So how is that a good idea?

And by shear numbers alone, if the Mesicans wanted to they could over run Texas, Southern California, heck all of the border states. Wait they have been doing that for years.

Lizbud, a second civil war might be what is needed to fix what has gone wrong with the experiment that is the United States of America. Most Republics dont last more then 200 years if I remember my history correctly.

The Russkies have to open a window (global warning) and need a samovar to whiz in.....


Not likely.

Indeed.

It was more amusing than anything. Can I see any New England states not only seceding but joining the EU? No way!

We may not all agree on everything, but we are one country.

That means the Patriots and Bosox have to play in another division?

Maybe the Celtics will join the EU?
