The Show-Me Where It Hurts State!

On the heels of this stunning ice storm, I figure we need to ease back into the serious business of politics.

So . . . I bring you Colbert.

A buddy of mine sent me this video from The Colbert Report.

In a popular segment called "Tonight's Word," Colbert recently took Missouri to task for its so-called bellwether status.

Is Missouri too soft to be the bellwether anymore?

"He's worriahed, about Missourah."

It's the "Show-Me Where It Hurts," state, according to Colbert. He's worried not only about what the state has recently done (elect McCaskill, pass stem cell research, gone . . . softie?), but how many states it touches. "It could be our touchiest state," quips Colbert.

Colbert is calling for a heartland transplant, "delicately removing Missouri and replacing it with Texas."

We'd lose Arkansas, but be placed in Texas' place.

And yes, that means illegal immigrants . . . lots of 'em!

I wonder if this would impact redistricting?

Laugh a lil', and enjoy.
