You Be The Judge
By Mitch Berg
For the first time since before the 2008 election – actually, probably since 2006 – I re-read my 2004 series, “Secession Diaries“, the other day.
After the 2004 election, pouting lefties proposed allowing the blue states to secede and unite with Canada, creating two countries – the “United States of Canada”, the progressive blue/Canadian union, and “Jesusland”, the red states.
My series explored the results of a potential split. And it was fictional.
Or…was it?
In rereading the series, I was a litte amazed at how many of my comic japes from nine years ago have actually come to pass. Example: in the story, a hurricane devastates the Mid-Atlantic. Relief efforts are hampred by union goons ejecting non-union relief workers. Fact or fiction? Both!
I will submit it for your approval. And partly to start my head churning for an update.
