We’ve sold Southern California
We’ve sold southern California to Mexico. It reduces both illegal aliens and the debt.

Excellent idea! Heck, if they’ll take NoCal, we’ll throw in Arizona as a free gift!
Hey! Don’t give AZ to Mexico! I already lived in Mexico once, I don’t want to live there again as a forced annexation..
No way! Take New Mexico…that makes much more sense.
no thats what old mexico wants! ITS A TRAP!
But where would all the old hippies go? Oh wait, Oregon!
Ha so true!
You can’t do that – remember the Alamo!!
ya , alamo….we sell texas..texans kick mexican butt to be own country, rejoins US..all nice and legal like
neat – and you wouldn’t need to worry about arming them – 4 guns per capita at last count
Five actually…
Cool, we’ll pay them to take N Cal…but the hippies are extra!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Arnold hasn’t considered it. I know that every two years (this is awhile back) a proposition would appear on the ballot that wanted to have the state split in two, right under San Francisco. Looking back, it may not have been a bad idea after all!
They should consider adopting the law that Mexico just passed which decriminalizes possession of personal-use quantities of drugs. Then Ahnuld should pass an amnesty to get all the harmless stoners out of the Cali jails. He could probably then close about half of them!
If I’m not mistaken, if you get caught with what is considered a personal use quantity, you get a $100 fine (at least that’s what it used to be). In my day you got a minimum of 1 year in the slammer.
Decriminilaztion of personal pot has occurred in AZ.
*moves*
*realizes she is in Arizona*
*moves back*
What’s with all the AZ hating?
I prefer AZ to New Mexico but I’m not a big fan of the Southwest overall. Too many large insects and bolero ties.
Hrmpth.
I notice you didn’t disagree with me.
Besides, why did I think you lived in or around Chicago?
Well.. large insects and bolero ties are indisputable facts. That would be like me saying “No wai is the Empire State Building one of the tallest in the world it’s a small speck.”
At any rate, I live in the vicinity of Chicago. But I was born and raised in Southern AZ and will be going back someday. The desert is a beautiful place. Plus there’s places like Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, etc., that we can go to in AZ.
*misses AZ*
Actually, you just brought back memories of my Grandpa. He always wore bolero ties. He was a neat guy. Was in the.. Navy.. I think.. Yeah. He was always swearing up a storm. I miss the guy.
Are we related? My dad was in the Navy and always wore bolo ties as well. And yeah, swearing was fine for my dad, but God help my sister and me if we let lose with a word.
I’m predominantly Swedish and French-mermaid. But this was my Mom’s dad, and she was adopted. So we could be adopto-related. My other Grandpa, I only met a few times and was in the Air Force. I don’t know about the swearing, but he was from New England and probably didn’t know what a bolo tie was.
Dang, I guess we’ll find out at the 2nd Coming!
Jesus came last night.
no charro that was bitter troll, you just kept saying jesus..jesus…jesus…jesus
Oh… My bad.
oh yes you was very bad, so very very bad, very naughty….bitter troll’s butt still hurts ya know
Sorry we ran out of lube.. But I am a naught naughty mermaid.. You can punish me tonight.
right-nods- let me get the paddle, the whip, the brass knuckes and a live goat
*wait patiently, shackled to bridge* Bring the mayonnaise this time!!
I must be related as well because I had a great-grandpa that was in the Navy and always wore bolero ties. Either that or old Navy guys always wear bolero ties.
I’d be proud to have you as my sister, Janie.
Awww, me too Charro!
Don’t forget the White Mountain area, which is beyond beautiful. (I just got back from there…)
Oh the White Mountains are insanely beautiful. I love the desert. I find it far more interesting than the midwest.
If you like it on my lawn, you will LOVE New Mexico.. capice?
-
Just kidding, even though I grew up there, I actually prefer the northern part of the state. Down towards El Paso over to the AZ state border sucks so bad even Mexico wouldn’t take it.
Can you believe that we bought it? No Seward’s Folly there.
It was only for the skiing, Charlie. Trust me, Taos is world class!
I’ve driven through there a few times. Been to Truth or Consequences and Elephant Butte and Roswell. And along I-10. But.. I spent most of my time in NM in ABQ. I have a good friend who used to live there so I would take random road trips there from Tucson. But I always went north through PHX to Flagstaff, then across I-40 to ABQ.
All I can say is T or C sucks.. But Elephant Butte was great for water skiing. I live in ABQ for most of my life, but would have much prefered to live a little further east. I love the drive between ABQ and Flagstaff, but dreaded the drive between Flagstaff and L.A., especially once you crossed the Colorado river.
*lived*
Yeah I wasn’t very impressed with T or C.. I told so many lies and there were no consequences. I was hoping for a paddling.. But no.
You need to go to Deming for that. The town paddler hated the town so much, he moved. His name is Julio, look him up.
Good ol’ Julio! I remember him! “Looking at my sandals.. That’s a paddlin”. Oh wait.. That was Jasper.
Do you mean Crazy Jasper? I think he’s related to Crazy Julio, but I think it’s rather distant. At any rate, you would know when you’ve been paddled by Julio. A girl I used to date STILL walks funny.
well going from arizona and texas to montana i prefer big bugs. the bigguns are easier to spot and they aren’t really the poisonous. it’s the little buggers up here in montana that scare me. at least in texas i could go “you’re not a black widow, I won’t die” now it’s more like “crap, why aren’t you a black widow, i don’t know what you are! are you poisonous?!”
there are still bolero ties unfortunately
Sorry charro, but AZ freaks me out. I’m not much of a desert girl, I can’t handle 118 degree nights.
But, it’s a dry heat…
bitter clown, I was just starting to like you and you gotta say that shit. AN OVEN IS A DRY HEAT BUT I’M NOT GONNA STICK MY HEAD IN IT.
Well, I meant to add it’s an effing sweaty a$$ dry heat.
You’re forgiven.
does AZ have nuff rivers for good troll bridge? troll bridge needs water under it
Yeah, there’s this big one called the Colorado River. But, the London Bridge is in Lake Havasu, you can just live there.
Well.. Just don’t live there then.
Yeah. I CAN’T DO IT CAPTAIN! I DON’T HAVE THE POWER!
Srsly. Stop shouting. I’m right here.
Oh. Sorry.
S’ok. Here, have a beer.
is it bitter beer?
No, I save the bitter beer for you bitter troll.
-hugs his charro- so glad you trapped me in that cage
And to think, you didn’t want to be capture by me!
Why thank you, don’t mind if I do!
Well at least this summer was not so bad…thanks to global warming..I think lol..I live in Las Vegas.
We’ll probably have to sell the whole country to Mexico pretty soon.
We can’t, we’re already owned by China.
Yeah, but China can always sell off the paper like a sub-prime mortgage. Then we can do a bailout again!
but we can always rid outselves of the debt by claiming they have oil..err…terrorists..and launching a freedom invasion
In China or Mexico?
terrorists everwhere…BEWARE
Yea, we’d have to give all the money for the sale to them, with interest… But, it would solve the illegal problem!
What a great caption hahaha!
Again, Pundit Kitchen – stop promoting stupid @#$%! SoCal contains both Los Angeles and San Diego. Yeah, CA’s balance sheet will look great without that tax revenue. It handles the debt how, exactly? You already have one of the dumbest comment sections this side YouTube, that’s why I don’t read them – keep a modicum of intelligence on the front page, please!
Welcome to the dumbness section – you are fitting in great!
No, no, no – you say:
Yu fitted in reeel gud!@!!!
That way he/she will feel welcome and at home…
Oh, shucks – I didn’t know.
You, sir, are a douche bag.
“That’s why I don’t read them”
And yet, here you are.
As a Northern Californian, I think getting rid of LA is a FANTASTIC idea, even if it means we lose San Diego.
Well, LA has a big fault in it (geologically speaking), can’t we find a way to antagonize that fault and make LA an island?
NOOO DONT MAKE ESCAPE FROM LA COME TRUE!!!
WHERE’S MY EYEPATCH?!?!?
WHY ARE WE ALL SHOUTING?!
WHY IS ALL THE RUM GONE?
BADGES!?? WE DONT NEED NO STINKING BADGES!!!
I LOVE LAMP
SCOTCHY SCOTCH SCOTCH
LOUD NOISES
THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!!!1!
Arrrrrrrr, matey!
Wait, what? Oh… we’re not gonna be pirates?
No, we’re gonna be Kurt Russell! Here, take these leather pants!
I can’t fit into leather pants silly, can’t I just be nude?
How about this leather vest? It still smells like Kurt Russell’s man-sweat!
*hurk* Gee.. Thanks s_b.. You are a real doll. *holds vest at arm length and slinks off*
WE CAN’T ESCAPE FROM L.A. WITHOUT LEATHER! THE SMELL OF KURT RUSSELL’S MUSKY B.O. WILL PROTECT US FROM CRIMINALS WHILST WE RECOVER THE DOOMSDAY DEVICE! And stuff.
How exactly does Goldie Hawn figure into your plan?
Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.
Goldie Hawn wasn’t in Escape from L.A. Maybe she could, like, bring us coffees and stuff.
Am I confusing Escape from LA with Overboard again? And they were such similar movies…
…I thought it was zombies? No? Crap, now I have to return all this stuff.
No, let’s have a zombie party! We’ll invite Rob Zombie!
Oh rats, I thought we were just yellin’ stuff… Now I have to fit into leather pants…
You could just eat the leather pants.
Not if it’s zombies – then all you need is the Hulk-style pants – you know, the ones that get all tattered but don’t fall off completely? No matter how much you gro…er, how large you…even if you get real…
Well, this is awkward.
You made me LOL.
I aim to…wait, am I going into that whole awkward-zone again? Sorry. But thanks for the feedback!
LOUD NOISES!
Whoops! Great minds (?) think alike. Sorry, SB, I hadn’t scrolled far enough yet…..
What if we (as a fellow northern Cafilnorian) just made all the streets in L. A. one-way west or south?
LOL!!! I think the good people in SD would have a fit. I say make them all head west, then they can be just like the lemmings.
Good point, wouldn’t want to offend the SDans (sorry to anyone from SD, won’t suggest it again).
*is offended*
I say send them East. There’s lots of open space in the Midwest.
Hmmm…maybe put in some “severe tire damage” thingies? (and I already apologized)
The severe tire damage thingies should only be for if they try to turn around.
I’m very sensitive.
Better yet, leave the N-S ones as 2-ways, but make every other intersection “turn West only”?
A very practical solution. Which means it will never happen! ^_^
You yanks besieged Mexico City to get California and Texas, now you want to sell it back? Make up your minds!
OOoh!! maybe we can sell iraq back to the iraqies too???
Besieged Mexico City? Must have missed that…
Yeah…I don’t remember that part either…
Have you been to Mexico City? It’s besieged enough without our trifling.
Finally, something we didn’t mess up.
Yay us!
You know…during the Mexican-American War…
ooo, yeah we beseiged the hell out of it! all of west point was there! Jackson, Bobbie Lee, US Grant, Longstreet, Hancock, Armistead….such honorable manhood….don’t even get me started about the first day at Gburg!! uh…oh…sorry (lurker slinks off embarressed at ouburst)
can we sell them back texas?
…or give it to them? Or even pay them to take it?
We have to keep froo though.
and the magic froo baby!
Well, the whole froo family, in totality. But yes. I think that froo’s baby may be of the legendary Fair Folk.
Fair Folk indeed. We dont’ need nightlights at night because our skin is so damn white it glows. I’m beginning to think my daughter is a vampire. I swear, she tries to bight my neck and I’m staking her.
Well.. I was thinking more the Fair Folk of the Faerie Kingdom.. But.. Vampire works too I guess.
Froofrou vampire chick?
mermaids, trolls, dragons, vampire kids…PK is a mystical playground…bitter troll loves it so
Well, there’s Fair Folk, then there’s “Too-White-To-Funtion-Folk” who can’t wear socks beause you can’t tell where the socks end and the legs begin.
wear black socks
A simple, yet elegant solution. Rebuttal, froo?
They don’t go with shorts. Unless you’re my dad and also have the loafers, fishing hat, and button down shirt on.
or your a hot goth chick, be a hot goth chick, your a vampire your half way there
Wear black shorts, silly.
Neon colored socks? Then you could say you were embracing the ’80s!
use different color ones, be like punky brewster!
That’s better than the “Too-White-To-Function-Folk” mixed with Tribal. I get the greatest Hank Hill farmer tan. My left arm and face are a red-brown and my legs would hurt most solar powered things.
Holy shit. That’s BITE, dammit. I really am feeling weird today.
yes…-feels her- you do feel a little different then normal- keeps feeling-
Move over, I want to feel too!!
ok we each get a boob-nods- Mmmm soft like mermaid
Mmmm soft like me.
I think a better idea would be just to annex Mexico into the US, they are all here or will be here soon anyway. There’s a whole lot of rich folks over there sitting on tons of old money, we could tax the beejeesus out of ‘em.
Plus, there’s the tacos.
Yes. Yes, let’s do it.
Oooh, the tacos made from horse meat are the BEST! And they have coke made with sucrose, not fructose! Great idea!!!
Have you tried the brain tacos!? The. best.
Well.. In all honesty, tacos in Mexico are kind of “mystery meat”. So I can’t in all honesty say that the tacos I had WEREN’T brains.. But I never PURPOSELY had brain tacos. Sounds nummy.
-fears charro is becomeing zombie mermaid-
No no bitter dear. charro just has a very adventurous palate. And tastes. But you know that. *wink*
she does taste of adventure
*giggle* Look, I have some new straps.
oooh pretty straps…
*holds out wrists* Want to play “Capture the Mermaid”?
-grins and lifts up large spiked iron shackles- use the ones mom got me!
Aw, how touching! I’m so glad you have some of your mother’s treasures. To the bridge!
-runs like batman to the batcave, but its the bittercave-
*gets carried along over bitter’s shoulder*
It’s a common southern country thing to scramble eggs with pork brains. Something I have not done since I was forced to as a child.
Mmmmm braaaaaains…
This really would fit in very nicely with the whole zombie-thing.
Next, we should annex the Dominican Republic to get all of the baseball players.
But, don’t we already have them? Now if you say Cuba, that would be an option.
just as long as they bring the cigars, just ask bill!
Oooooooooh, I love a good cohiba! But truthfully, I much prefer the dominicans.
we’re not talking about women here, eddie — cigars
I’d like to respectfully request we annex Germany, so that we have all the good festivals.
And the food. Oh my. I just gained 5lbs thinking of it.
Bavaria! Oh Bavaria! Oh we love Bavaria! All hail Bavaria and your lovely food and festivals!
And the beer!!!
and cream filled donuts!
I plan to live in Bavaria someday. Bavarian Motor Werks baby!
Ha! Nice one!
Interestingly enough, one of the reasons we did not annex all of Mexico after the Spanish-American war was due the the racist decision that there would be too many non whites as citizens. This of course might lead to non white landowners which could lead to non white politicians and which might lead to laws that did not only benefit whites while oppressing other skin pigments. Seems only fitting that the thinking of the time led us straight to where we are today. Just like an imperialistic nation though right? I mean, conquer to take, screw it all up, and then sell it back. I think its beautiful.
Hi.
Howdy.
Oh you finally answered me!! I’m so happy!!
I do what I can. Had I but known I would have acted sooner.
You should pay more attention. Did you get to see VNV this tour?
I did. The new album is pretty good, but in the show they played a lot of Empires, which is may favorite album, so it was nice. (hey a double post! exciting!)
I missed them this tour but I saw them on the last one. They didn’t do Saviour (Vox), did they? That would make me super sad. I once gave Ronan a cow and he still has it in London. I <3 VNV. One of my favs.
I haven't heard the new album yet, I have it on my computer, but been slacking. *sigh* I'm a bad bad VNV fan.
Nope. No Savior unfortunately. We did get Dark Angel, Standing, and Solitary. We also got Chrome, Perpetual, Beloved, and a couple off the new album which i can’t remember yet.
I got yelled at a a show in Florida by Ronan because someone was throwing a beach balloon and from behind me and it bounced off my unknowing hand and went right at him. He thought I did it on purpose.
But at a later show I got Ronan and Mark’s autograph.
So… its crazy to meet a VNV fan on punditkitchen. I hope we land on the same side of the fence occasionally?
Oh. And you are right on Gravity is a theory, but it actually happens/happened.
The last tour, the show in Chicago was the same day we buried our friend Brian. I burst into tears when they did “Honour”, and again when they did “Dark Angel”. I think Dark Angel is my favourite of theirs. I’m an idiot for not seeing them this time, but they;ll come around again.
Ronan and Mark are very cool. I’ve seen them in LA, PHX and Chicago and when I saw them in LA and PHX, I hung out with them a bit. Very down to Earth blokes, I must say. I’m sure I have an autograph somewhere, but I like that he still has my cow. It was their mascot for the LA show that I gave it to them at. Ugh, that was the worst sentence ever.
Danbala is pretty into the EBM stuff. Well, I shouldn’t say pretty into, but she is well versed. I can’t say pretty into we haven’t talked music much. I’m sure we’ll land on the same side, I really only get fired up about the gays, drugs and mental disorders. But I hereby decree we shall agree to disagree and be civil about it, in the spirit of electronic music.
Yes, it does actually happen.. But so does evolution
Way to finally respond to me about that.
I did. The new album is pretty good, but in the show they played a lot of Empires, which is may favorite album, so it was nice.
Maybe now we can send all of our illegals in Illinois to California — there are thousands of them (in my town alone).
Pfft, that’s a drop in bucket compared to what’s in So Cal. There’s enough there to start their own country!
Do you live in Waukegan?!
If the line is drawn a few miles north of Bakersfield, then I’ll be okay with it.
No, keep Bakerspatch.. that’s where a lot of the vegatables are grown!
But we Northerners can SELL them water!
I like that idea. What I find amusing is that we send a goodly chunk of our (upper Cal) water to Low Cal and the Central Valley (that’s where most of the farms are – agriculture is a huge industry in this state), even when we’re dealing with drought conditions, but the people up north (Warshington and Oregon) won’t even consider sending any water this way even as they mildew from all the rain…
but if we sell you all our water, then what will we use to make the electricity that we sell to you?
You can still use the water to make electricity as it runs down the map from Washington and Oregon into California, can’t you?
Rezackly – it’s all downhill – just use teh gravities. Plus, it might dry things out to where you can start using real money before it mildews or rusts away (currently I believe Oregon uses an elaborate barter system consisting mostly of chickens, but I may be misinformed). We could trade, say, lady’s razors for the water, for example.
… why are there no innuendos?…
Internet! I am very very disappointing in you…
At first sight I thought the caption would be about how the state on the map looks like a p enis, and how arnold is aiming it at the other guys face.
Hmmm.. “To Be Or Not To Be”
Anyone else notice the juxaposition of the map to Mr. Schwarzenegger? Or am I thinking with my cock again?
The cock doth crow.
Why has no one mentioned how very scary he looks in this picture? WHY???
He always looks like that.
Great plan, you wingnut tool. When will we sell Texas? That would increase the national IQ by at least 20 points.
Not a bad idea. It might do Americans some good to see what kind of dump Mexico and turn a place into in just a couple of years.
Shouldn’t this caption read ’sell SoCal back to Mexico’ ?
OR the Spanish
But what about the movie industry of America? Without that….
I chuckled and I wouldn’t have thought about the juxtaposition until somebody brought it up. Now I have mental images… *shudder*
ARNIES PINGAS IS MEXICO?
I think these comments made me laugh more than the caption. You guys are all a bunch of goofballs. Thanks for entertaining me on a slow work day.
so i’m the only one who knew this came from greg giraldo’s stand-up act?
Yay! We need MOAR California. We already have two…
Yeah! that way we’ll get it back! and we accept texas, arizona and new mexico too.
By the way, France call they want lousianna again!
we bought that area from france fair and square!
I am surprised no one said anything about how california looks could be his penis and it has great placement to the other guy’s mouth
No one else noticed the positioning of California and where the Governor is standing?
please do. So-Cal needs to go. We like having water up here…
