21. In addition to "getting out of Seattle's grasp"...

he wants to send two more Republican senators to Washington. Unfortunately for him, the only way Congress will allow a conservative state to be added to the Union is if a liberal one is added at about the same time.

Either that, or we make one "superstate" out of either Montana and Wyoming or North and South Dakota.

But it's all silly anyway...if it looks like we really will gain another state or two, a grassroots "Garrison Flag Owners of America" will spring up to keep nutcases like Matt Shea from rendering their $1500 flags worthless.
