Blair's Law In Action Yet Again

Yes, I'm talking about Tim's brilliant universal rule: "the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force."

Here's the latest proof of it

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - In an unlikely marriage of desire to secede from the United States, two advocacy groups from opposite political traditions — New England and the South — are sitting down to talk. ADVERTISEMENT

Tired of foreign wars and what they consider right-wing courts, the Middlebury Institute wants liberal states like Vermont to be able to secede peacefully.

That sounds just fine to the League of the South, a conservative group that refuses to give up on Southern independence.

...Harry Watson, director of the Center For the Study of the American South and a history professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said it was a surprise to see The Middlebury Institute conferring with the League of the South, "an organization that's associated with a cause that many of us associate with the preservation of slavery."

He said the unlikely partnering "represents the far left and far right of American politics coming together."

If this doesn't get Tim a Nobel nomination...

Hmmmm.

I've been trying to convince some liberal neighbors to "secede" their way to somewhere else.

No go though.
