Dear Red States,

If you manage to steal this election too we've decided we're leaving.

We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us.

In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all theNortheast.

We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

We get stem cell research and the best beaches.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood.

We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.

We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs.

You get Alabama. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

We get two-thirds of the tax revenue; you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families.

You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once.

If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals.

They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home.

We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plusStanford, Cal Tech, Berkeley, UCLA and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all

U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals than we lefties.

Finally, we're taking all the good pot, too.

You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico

Peace out,
-- the Blue States

Top 5 Tips For Success on Digg

So, you know submitting articles to digg can bring hordes of traffic to your site. You know it’s relatively easy to amass a few hundred friends by adding everyone you come across and you’re probably aware that you can spam the crap out of your friends using “shouts”. These are some of the tools you have at your disposal as a member of digg’s community but in order to truly be a success on digg, you’ll need more than a spammer mentality and a blog especially if you’re looking to get that zerg diggrush of traffic to your submission’s site.

(Disclaimer: Poorly edited pics - I'm at work and used what I had)

The following five tips should help you become a successful, contributing member of the digg community:


1. Stop digging every story you come across.

This is a community website based on the collective interests of the masses (in this case, geeks). Don’t ruin that by digging the duplicate’s duplicate of the “COOLNESS” Motivator, the (coolest guy to ever exist) guy with four-popped collars for the 43892174 time. Acclimate yourself to the community and digg what you really like! Gaming the community takes away from what’s so great about it in the first place, being able to see what the collective consciousness is really interested in, whether that’s a breaking news story, new mac, speculations on the next batman movie, gorgeous chick, or another god-awful meme in the making.

2. Stop adding everyone.

You’re watering down the community and contributing to the spammer behavior that’s run rampant. Add people you share interests with, people that leave the comment you would’ve left had you arrived at the submission earlier. You’re far more likely to receive shouts that are relative to your interests from a person you share interests with, which in turn leaves you more likely to receive diggs on your submissions. It’s give and take whether you like it or not, so do yourself (and the community) a favor, take the time to do it right.

3. Don’t leave spam comments.

We’re aware you probably just found the most profound, hilarious, front-page-worthy article/vid/image evar (that you cited and moved to your ad-filled-spam-blog) but we don’t want to see you link spamming it in the comments on our “Sarah Palin Has Seven-Armed Mutant-Child Born From Satan’s Seed” - it’s in poor taste. Leave a comment that’s witty, snarky, intelligent, or even a (very well placed) meme joke - something that’ll make people want to add you for your amazing commenting abilities or at least your ability not to look like a total asshole.

4. Participation is key.

If you want to make a name for yourself or your submissions on digg, you need to participate and by participate, I don’t mean digg 8942378945 stories, I mean be an active contributor to the site’s content. Find your niche or clique and start submitting, commenting and socializing with like-minded individuals. If you’re on digg for the purpose of trolling or spamming, better make a few sock-puppet accounts because the sites moderators will not hesitate to ban you (I know from experience).

5. Stop shouting at me.

(pic unrelated)

Seriously. If you shout at me one more time about Ron Paul’s Parrot Reciting The Constitution After Discovering The Cure to Cancer While Riding a Beagle Backwards Through a Mac Factory, I’ll shit bricks. Keep your shouts to a minimum. I know you’re excited about the pic you found of an Kevin Rose doing surgery on a pregnant Albino Penguin but if I’m interested, I’ll check it out when I get around to it. Your submission and shout will not disappear but if you keep shouting, you’re going to be un-friendified faster than tits reach the Front-page, that’s no bullshit.

Seriously though...

Police slam CodePink protester to the ground, call her a "bitch" before arresting her.
