The country where I seem to be living now

[prog]

Not to slight our various Western allies, but seeing my home states set off so starkly from the rest of the US on the red/blue maps made them look like a country all to themselves.

And a country needs a name.

"Red Sox Nation", while tempting, would probably be a bad idea.

I am leaning towards "The People's Republic of Awesome".

Greetings, Allies of the East!

Your first priority: it's time to have show-trials of the assholes in NH who voted for Bush in 2000. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be having this converstation now.

In the gran tradition of reclaiming hate words...

I propose: Them as the name for our new country.

Dunno about the name, but the flag came to me as I was walking home from work: the U.S. flag minus its red stripes (leaving a pure white field) and only 20 (?) stars in the blue canton, representing the "blue" states.

A minute or so later, as I was thinking of the whole blue vs. red thing, the purple Drazi vs. green Drazi thing from Babylon 5 came to mind.
