RI would be better of Electing Stewie Griffin as Senator.

Rhode Island has sports stadiums? I thought the only thing Rhode Island was famous for was their Chickens.

Post of the week!
When they moved from Minn, they should have changed the name to Pacifics, or similar...

First question: How many hundreds of thousands of years ago were Texas and Oklahoma under water and how long did it take for the tropical seas to cover them?The Senator needs to visit Carlsbad Caverns, and learn where the stalactites & stalagmites came from.

Better yet, the famous trick with the sheet of paper that says,

Guess what it says on the other side.

There is NO need to worry about continental drift. With the power of the ships of the U.S. Atlantic Navy pushing on one coast and the the Pacific fleet pulling on the west, the plates could be kept in position.
Naturally it could be reversed if the drift direction called for it.
Don’t worry, be happy.

Because Jerry found someone to pay for it. Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner!
The Cowboys decision to leave Valley Ranch was met with a thunderous...silence. Nobody I know gives a patoot, and I live less than a mile from their current HQ. Long ago, it was a source of pride, but Jerry effed it up.
I hope the city of Irving will use the area for a park, we have plenty of apartments and office complexes already.

Along with another poorly named team, the Utah Jazz. Actually, it almost makes sense for the Lakers and Jazz to just swap team names, Los Angeles Jazz and Utah Lakers.

There are positive with this global warming.
