Don’t let the Georgia hit your ass on the way out
I’ll never forget the cover of an edition of City Paper I stumbled upon when I was in high school — it called for Philadelphia to secede from the rest of Pennsylvania because the city folk felt that they had nothing in common with Pennsyltucky. It was, of course, mostly tongue in cheek, but as with much satire, there was a serious bit of truth underlying it all.
Anyway, I was reminded of this when I stumbled upon a blog post noting that 22% of Americans believe that states should have the right to peacefully secede from the Union. I’m all for secession, but more importantly, I’m for forced secession. First up … who else? See you the fuck later, Florida!

I'm with Seth. Pretty much any state where the majority of inhabitants cannot spell "secede" need to secede involuntarily.

I'll go along with your plan... but you need to provide me with political asylum once this becomes the Republic of Flori-duh.

What the fuck is everyone's problem with Florida?

Can't we just secede the population and keep the land?
It worked with the Indians.

As fucked up as Florida is... and it is....let's get Texas the fuck out first. George Bush, Dick "The torturer" Cheney and that amazing fuckwad Tom DeLay ought to be determinative enough.

I wish Texas would secede from the union. I don't know what Bill's problem with DeLay is, but you've got to admit that way he was sent packing was a little bit ridiculous.

As a fifth generation Floridian I say to you, suck my ass sir.

And after the secession of Florida and Texas I saw we deport a good chunk of the mid-west to live with their Southern brethren.
