re: "Breakin’ Up Is Hard to Do"

Dave Schuler at Outside the Beltway pokes some holes in this prediction from Greater Muscovy.

Money quote(s):

"Do you think that Idaho and Utah will federate with California? Really? Or that the upper Midwest will fall under Canadian sway? Note that the population of Illinois alone is half that of all of Canada."

"(T)he Soviet Union’s grand tradition of disinformation is alive and well and living in Mother Russia."

&

"Russia is even more anti-American, if anything, than the old Soviet Union was.

Meanwhile, residents of the upper Midwest, rejoice! Things could be much worse than they are: you could be citizens of a country whose primary city was Chicago."
