F*ck the South!

I think this is just freaking genius! Honestly, I'm not a big secessionist - yet. But, increasingly, it seems the entire South sees itself as a different nation, and I question why we bothered to fight for it in the 1860's. I've made the case many times before, especially when discussing my arch-nemesis John Edwards, that we do not need to kowtow to the stupidest among us, who are unfortunately the representative slices of bacon that vote in the South.

Besides, we didn't start this. This post from a winger shows that they're ready to slice-n-dice the union (inexplicably leaving Washington out of his soon-to-be-former fellow states).

With that, I present to you, Fuck the South, a new website sent to me by my friend Ellen. Whatever you may think of the sentiment, it uses facts and lots and lots of vulgarity to make a strong point, and in spots is pee-your-pants funny. My favorite excerpt:

The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

It's only a one page website, but it's worth a read. And I think, even around the cursing and the funny bits, it makes some very, very strong points. Fuck the South indeed!
