And good riddance!

Remember all those liberals threatening to leave the country and move to Canada if Bush won the election? Now an enterprising dating service called MarryAnAmerican wants to help! (Hat tip: LittleGreenFootballs. But I might as well give another hat tip to The Wonkette, and you can judge for yourself why she would carry this link!)

Here's the text from their homepage:
Ladies and gentlemen,
drop your borders!

Now that George W. Bush has been officially elected, single, sexy, American liberals - already a threatened species - will be desperate to escape.

These lonely, afraid (did we mention really hot?) progressives will need a safe haven.

You can help. Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American. Legions of Canadians have already pledged to sacrifice their singlehood to save our southern neighbours from four more years of cowboy conservatism.



The reason they have to do this is that the Canadian government has essentially told all those legions of would-be refugees, "Not So Fast!" It takes up to a full year just to be a permanent lawful resident of Canada, and three years to be a full citizen--though actually, shouldn't that be "subject"?

We keep hearing this claptrap every time liberals lose an election. Unfortunately, I can't believe a word of it. After all, they didn't do it the last time. Frankly, I wish they would. If all that anyone can do is complain, then such a person is not a good citizen of a republic, by any reasonable standard whatsoever. (You read that right: ours is a republic, not a "democracy" whatever that means.)

UPDATE. Are they already taking my advice?
