Oh there is this GREAT cartoon up in my dept now. I am going to post this as it's own post too..... It's a map of North America sans mexico.... the top half is red, it's Canada, the NW coast of the US, California, IL, and much of New England. It's labelled "The United States of Canada". The bottom half -- the middle of the US and the South -- is green,a nd labelled, "Jesusland."

BWAHAHAAA!!!

Hallelujah, says this Massachusetts liberal! I'm really tired of feeling insulted any time anyone outside of my political world uses the word liberal. I will never understand what's so bad about it.

Of course, you're preaching to people who don't believe in evolution, so I doubt they'll let a few statistics sway their opinions.
