The translation of an Ivory Coast blog that I have been reading -

Advantages for America:
1) They with help the USA in Iraq. (Good idea? Send them all?)
2) They will fight against terrorism (as they are against Bédié).
3) The Ivorian cocoa will help stabilise the USA economy.

Advantages for Ivory Coast:
1) Ivory Coast will finally have weapons of mass destruction.
2) Ivory Coast will have its permanent seat on the UN.
3) America will help Ivory Coast destroy France, totally.

I think the 51st state ought to be named

CANADA.

They have lots of resources with little idea what to do with them.  They have a socialist economy and a language issue that we could help with.  It will help the uS and will improve life tremendously for the average Canadian.  Eh?

Maybe we could arrange a swap of some of our bluer states for a couple of the heartland provinces, Rabbi.

They can keep Ontario and Quebec after the western 2/3s of Ontario gets carved off and becomes part of Manitoba. Yukon Territory could be assimilated by Alaska. Nunavit maintains its sovereignty. The rest of the provinces vote on either statehood, autonomy or US territorial status.

All I know is that if the western four Provenices of Canada did split up, and Montana succeeded, and they formed their own country...man, I would be there in a heart beat.  There would have to be a nuke plant somewhere I could find a job at.

While I'm dreaming, I might as well dream big.

Baloney! We already have too many states! I say we give the people's republics of Taxachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, and California to whatever African country will take them.

If I recall correctly, British Columbia and parts of Alberta (and maybe others?) used to be US territories until Polk gave them away.  That's a pretty simple way of putting it, but that was the basic idea.

Hell if President Fox gets stupid and tells his troops to enter the US in Arizona we could have a bunch more states.  We will wind up owning Mexico and then everyone could say we invaded Mexico for their oil also.

We won't end up owning mexico.  Bush won't do anything if Mexican troops enter Arizona.  Make no mistake, the Government has given up the defense of our borders.  We the people are now the defense.

Didn't some Colonel during the Texas Revolution ride into Mexico with his men to try and take it over?

WE have a socialist economy and a language issue...I don't think we can help.
