As told to this FReeper:
TROLL: "Look at what Republicans have posted to celebrate their victories on Tuesday.
"Necessity compels me to ask, as a troll, Who in this world ever decided that the electoral map should be divided between Red states for Republicans and Blue states for Democrats? This is unfortunate and unfair.
"Red has always stood for the Glorious Russian Revolution, and the Chinese Reds, not to mention Bolsheviks, Communists, Socialists, Independents from Vermont, ... and Red Sox fans from ultra-liberal Boston.
"By this sinister plot, Democrats have been robbed of their colorful identity. We have lost control of one of the most powerful symbols of our Party, as well as a cherished heirloom of historical proportions.
"Instead, this advantage has been stolen from us -- like the election of 2000 -- and handed over to Republicans, who benefit from all the positive associations that relate to states that are healthy and thriving -- as people migrate there from Blue states. Red under this sinister scheme has come to stand for red-blooded, American, sanguine, healthy, ruddy, optimistic, lively, spirited and dashing.
"Democrats are now relegated to all manner of things associated with the color Blue. Blue stands for sad, lonely, gloomy, discouraged, depressed, rust-belt, blue nun, and out-of-the-blue policies that don’t work. Does this not conjure up images of an “Old America” versus a “New America”?
"We protest, and make a non-negotiable demand that these colors be rotated each and every election year.
"Alternatively, we demand that colors for Democrat-won states be adopted that are more in line with our hip and stylish Hollywood-like image, like mauve or fuscous."
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAA
IT'S NO LONGER A BLUE WORLD, MAX!!
ping
Fuscous?
Fuscous?
LOL!!!!
Boo frickin hoo. If they're reduced to tears now, wait til MTV puts on their new special: Arafat Unplugged
Dang man, this is why I don't put anything in my FR page, because I'd probably do something like yours.
You're bad. LOL
Fuscous = grayish brown, tawny, dusky
NOT fuchsia, which would be inappropriate. -- Ed.
Great map, but out of date. The President won Iowa.
LOL...but I gotta agree with the troll, the DemonRATS should be the Reds and the Pubbies should be the royal Blue...MUD
LOL. That was my response too. What the heck is fuscous? Then I looked it up:
Adjective: fuscous fúskus
1. Having a dusky brownish grey colour
Well it would fit their mood...
lol
Good one...
Personally, the dims shouldn't have red, white or blue. They should have brown. I'll let you use your imagination as to why I think that ;-)
