LOL! A beautiful, beautiful piece, Mr. Moe! Dead-on.

See? I told y'all that the REST of Wisconsin is NORMAL. It truly IS just Madison that's nuts. ;)

Diana!

Surely you haven't forgot about Milwaukee, have you?

Phew! For a moment there, I thought he was going to suggest Illinois, but we already have enough problems and anyway, there's already a Madison, IL and I don't think the folks there would want to change the name, and two Madisons in one state would be confusing. California is an excellent idea! But instead of going through all the hassle of secession, why don't they just do a population transfer? That way, Wisconsin could recover and make good use of the land.

Oops! Sorry Steve. I'll suggest that Milwaukee secede to the Twin Cities, LOL!

Madison could join Milwaukee; Racine; Kenosha; eastern Lake County in IL; Chicago; Gary and Michigan City in Indiana; Democrat-leaning Western Wisconsin; the Lake Superior counties in Wisconsin and Minnesota; Minneapolis-St. Paul; SE Minnesota; Eastern Iowa; and the Quad Cities part of Western Illionois to form a new, heavily Democrat, State of Minnillinouisconsindiowa (just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it). That would leave each of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana as heavily conservative Republican states.

My first thought - take a good chunk of Milwaukee with you and you have a deal.

'Minnillinouisconsindiowa'. What a concept.

I like it. I keep imagining what the state bird of Minnillinouisconsindiowa would be, or the state song, or the flag that would fly high over the state capitol, Minnillinouisconsindiowa City, a great engineering marvel in its own right: a giant floating barge roving the expanse of the Great Lakes from one part of the new state to another.

No, really. I gave up drugs years ago.

The best solution would be for all the Dems to have their own country to run any way they like. After five years, when they're bankrupt even after getting half of the nation's wealth, most would come back to the red state country.

The truth is most Dems are not far-left libs, but whining, envious complainers who usually have one big issue they disagree with Republicans about...abortion, unions, jealousy of the successful. They have their share of hard workers, but they also have a larger amount of lazy, constantly complaining ignorati. The ignorati would easily sink the efforts of the few Dems who know that hard work creates wealth, not government programs. And when the far-left libs who would run the country go too far, as they inevitably do, the Dem segment of the population would either revolt and lynch all the lefties or just come back to sanity...the red country that is.

Save some room for us down in Arizona; we're gonna need some place to go after it all gets annexed back to Mexico.

Keep it simple ..everything south of 21 goes to Illinois
The real WI gets the UP

No one who does not live N of Hwy21 can own property N of Hwy21

Anyone S of Hwy 21 must have been born above Hwy21 or have a blood relative born above Hwy21 to visit and must apply for a Visa

C'mon, N of Hwy 21 is ridiculous...N of Hwy 82 works though.

I graduated from UW-Madison. If this happens, I could tell people I went to college in California. Cool. ;)
