Well, it's been a while that the UK has been pretending that, no, that's definitely not the french coast you can see from Dover and really they're an island in the middle of the Atlantic so...You never know.


I would not call the extreme north east Atlantic the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. They are only 20 to 30 miles off the coast of Europe.

Wouldn't that be cool? Especially considering that our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, is about us winning a battle against The UK. Sent 'em packin' back to not so merry ole England after that one. We were a bit ticked as the Brits had just burned our capitol building and the presidential palace. We couldn't get the burn marks off the presidential palace, so we had to paint the damn thing white. It became known as The White House. We followed all that up by giving The UK the worst battle drubbing in their military history at The Battle of New Orleans.

But we're nice, after the Brits acknowledged they got beat, the folks in New Orleans helped patch them up, fed em, and even hosted a big post-battle party. Our general loaned the Brits some money so they could sail back to The UK. I guess they hadn't plan on losing. Plans do go awry. After that, well, things between The USA and The UK started getting better until we ended up being great friends. It was kind of a family squabble anyhow, but we did okay, winning two wars against the old homeland. Our French buddies really came through for us in the first one. Viva La France! Thanks Lafayette!

The 51st state. The best chance of that is like Chuck said, Puerto Rico. They vote on it every so often – 3 options. Independence, status quo as a commonwealth territory, or statehood. The status quo always wins. So it's their choice. As far as I'm concerned, they're welcome to jump all the way in and add another star to the flag. After that, a possibility is Washington, D.C. but that would take a constitutional amendment I believe, not sure on that though.

Every now and then we do get some disgruntled section of one of the states talking about splitting off and forming another state. And that is not without precedent. Maine came out of Massachusetts and West Virginia came out of Virginia. Places that have had this discussion are Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Florida's panhandle, and some talk of northern Califonia splitting from southern California. But so far this has just been some grumblings, nothing too serious.


Y'all know we whooped the British in New Orleans using alligators.

From the ledger of Colonel Jackson dated 23 December 1814.

"We fired our cannon 'till the barrels melted down. So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind. And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind."

"We fired once more and they began to runnin. On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico."

Then they hauled ass back to Britain!

Col. "Old Hickory" Jackson

So that's where Johnny Horton got the lyrics to "The Battle of New Orleans".

And we have been mostly friends ever sense.

Who'd ever want to become the 51st state? Puerto Rico has voted no several times. Why become a state when you have all the entitlements but none of the taxes?
