86. I say we create a new section of the Rio Grande, forming a large island...

Nov 2012

Between Texas proper and Mexico. We could then tell them that we are throwing a huge party for the repubs, thus luring them onto the island at which point we blow the bridge and release the security gators. They can fight each other for the weekly food drop and build fences to their hearts' content.

Once they are all there, the Dems can finally fix the problems in this state. I can see it now, new infrastructure, true high-speed trains connecting the cities and allowing ease of travel and commuting. The kids can finally get a good education free of the evil ideas put forward by the religious/history revisionists and anti-science 'scientists'. It would be a truly great place to live (except for the damned heat. What I wouldn't give to be able to move to a glacier).

Oh well, it is a nice fantasy.
