Forget nonexistent congressional districts; I wonder how much stimulus money went to states #51-57! http://bit.ly/3TBqbH Heh.

Actually if you listen to it, there are 60 States… “Fifty Seven states so far with one left to go” And (paraphrasing here) I can’t go to Alaska or Hawaii. So 57 plus three is 60. This is your brain… This is your brain campaigning for president…

Hmm… 10 extra states… wait a minute… there are 10 Canadian provinces… coincidence?!? I think not!!! This Obama “gaffe” was actually an accidental revelation of his secret plan to invade Canada, possibly as a wag-the-dog exercise just before the 2010 elections!!! OBAMA IS AN IMPERIALIST MONSTER!!!

Fortunately, we already have a plan for invading Canada.

Unfortunately, Canada has countered this plan by spreading Tim Horton’s across the Northeastern United States, just waiting for the day they will force a surrender by withholding the daily ration of Timbits.

JD: this has been my conspiracy theory for years – that Canada is slowly infiltrating the US by use of Tim Horton’s!

Our best course of action is to set up a kabillion Krispy Kreme donut shops in Canada in retaliation. Or Dunkin Donuts. Whichever works better in Canada. We can’t lose the donut wars!!! Our national security is at stake!
