It is with great sadness that I write this post on the eve of a new year. Apparently 2009 is the final act for a once great nation which is sliding down the socialist road to ruin.
If you missed it the Wall Street Journal posted this article America Disintegrates in 2010
If there is a bright spot Canada gets to take over the American heartland and I just know all my fisherman from Chicago will be delighted at not having to navigate Customs during future fishing trips.
In the event that this is indeed the final year for all my American friends – let’s hope this is a year in which you make money online like never before. I suggest you put it all in an off shore bank account before Canada takes you over as we will tax the crap out of you! 
Have a Happy New Year folks!
Cheers,
Griz
Boy Canada gets screwed with that chunk of states…lol
Happy New Year Griz
I would have taken Florida if given a choice – much better golfing in January…
Dont forget South Carolina for all those nice Hilton Head courses
Oh come on now. That ho isn’t from SC, she’s from California or New York. In any event, your taste is extremely questionable.
Wow Griz, way to bum me out. I don’t really want to be part of the Texas republic; although I’d bet the tacos would be great. If I move to say Missouri or Kansas and you guys take them over, is it cool if I just come hang out at the lodge during the day? I’ll dust & vaccuum the rugs for you. =) Hell, I’ll even be sure that your printer has plenty of paper in it for you. Have a great new year!
Aaron, I wasn’t convinced until you mentioned keeping the printer full… hmmm
Well,
Maybe, It’s nice to know I will be returning to Canada. My family left there in the early 1800′s. Maybe I will get a head start and take the tunnel if I can make through the ghettos of Detroit and the 22% unemployment rate.
Except you’d end up in Toronto and frankly we’re trying to give it away…
Hey there Griz,
The biggest Welfare recipient this year has got to be the US Banking industry who’ve lined up on every corner with their hands out begging for mo’ money.
Yep, all of the needy, US Banks have definitely slid down the Socialist slope here in the great ole’ US.
Happy New Year!
Sunshine – now let’s be fair… the auto industry deserves honorable mention as well.
Wow, that was quite the New Years greeting. Hopefully things won’t be quite that bad. Have a great New Years Grizz.
Emma – I thought Y2K took care of the doom & gloom pundits for at least a 1000 years – apparently not.
Damn I guess I better move! Sorry Griz I like warm weather so I think I will head to a tropical island instead of Canada. I’ll send you a postcard though!
Trent – I can’t blame you for that. Save a Cabana for me would ya? All the best Trent!
Looks like some kind of key word experiment on your part I presume. Looking for hits from the Arab world? Maybe change the title to “Death To America”.
Ben, haha – hadn’t thought of targeting ‘that’ demographic. Just thought the headline would get every one’s attention so I could wish you all a great 2009. (My sense of humour (international spelling) is suspect at the best of times!)
2008 Wall Street Bailout = Socialism
Oh well, there goes the neighborhood.
Just wait till you’re the United States of Canada… you haven’t seen socialism. Ready for a dirty word?
Universal Healthcare!
I also heard that China has a 100 year plan to take over the US because they are going to run out of land and they need ours. It really isn’t that funny because it probably will happen.
Relax Bruce… they’ll get us first, you guys will have time to swim the Rio Grande.
He has a couple things backwards. The author said “economic and moral collapse”, when in fact, the moral collapse lead to the economic collapse.
U.S. demise better happen quick cause the world is catching on to the “U.S. foreign debt pyramid scheme” and I’m tired of the media reminding us every day how doomed we are. Some nice, uplifting, state controlled Russian media would sure be a nice change.
Cory, have you heard of the CBC – we have a perfectly good state owned network that speaks English! No need for the Russians.
Man, living in Kentucky sucks then…although i guess I could finally visit Ireland and Italy a little easier!
But heck, just one state west and I can be a Canuck with ya Griz!
Just goes to show that all the greed is finally catching up with the political “Jones’s”.
Happy F’n New Year!
I’d stick to Kentucky Elliot – some awesome golf courses in Ireland. Plus none of us knows what a “Canuck” really is… and have I mentioned its cold as hell here!
haha. i can already see it happening. But the scenario is probably that China will take over the entire US economy in 20 years by buying up all the biggie US companies.
Maybe we will even see 谷歌 controlled by the chinese…haha
谷歌 aka google….
Jared
Ok… how’d you do that Jared. Showoff!
Okay then.
Grizz, as a Canadian poised to benefit from this I just have to say that the biggest benefit would have to be not having to take my shoes off at airport security every time I fly to LA or Vegas.
Happy New Year, my Guru…
Stephen,
Really is that not the most useless annoying thing ever! I try not to change my socks for a month prior just to get a little satisfaction from the exercise… hehe
Happy New Year everyone
Hi Griz,
As a history buff and a long time student of US politics I have to say that Russian guy doesn’t have much knowledge of the US. His map doesn’t match the historical regional divisions of the US. It’s like if we invaded some country in the middle east and divided it up without regard to tribal/cultural differences and so forth, oh wait….
hehe… nice one Frank
Of course, we haven’t actually done that, now have we? That was the Brits and the French in the ME, but other colonial powers did the same. You might note the fact that elevating the minority over the majority would make them more loyal, yet reliant on the colonial powers’ assistance for control. Great system, until it all falls apart, I suppose.
This is was a kind of counterpoint to Ralph Peters’ map for a theoretical new ME/SWA region, with even less practicality or insight than even he showed. I would encourage you to read Pravda (there is an English version) on occasion — it’s a combination of serious news and alien/bigfoot/conspiracy tabloid all rolled up in the same package. Highly entertaining.
LOL
Man…
Having lived the first 26 years of my life in Texas and the last 15 in New Mexico, I can say with 100% certainty that those two states will NEVER be in the same group of any kind.
Obviously a report written by someone who’s not done research on the dislike for each other of those 2.
Funny!
I think I’ll just mosey on down to Costa Rica.
-R
Nice bait post Griz
Read the article anyway…and all I have to say is that the last thing we want right now is Washington, D.C., and New York in the European Union thank you very much!
Have a good one
Zania – you’d have to change “Football” to “Soccer” for starters. Oh and the Queen and that Cricket thing would have to go.
Have a great year Zania!
Well Griz, With your help I’m ready to pay those higher taxes in 2010.
For the last four years struggling and listening to all the “gurus” including Joel Comm, the adsense site fad, and BANS sites I made a total of $8.32 from Adsense. In November I found your blog, read all the posts. I implemented your simple ideas three weeks ago.
Today I broke my first $100 in Adsense and I did it all from only one site!!!
I can’t wait to duplicate what you have taught me on other sites.
Thanks, Paul
Paul it’s always great to hear people are finding some success in this game. I wish you much more in the coming year. Thanks for the update.
Frank, you aren’t eluding to our VP elect and his stupid plan to divide Iraq are you? Just wondering.
Griz, they gave me the full treatment at Saginaw airport. Pulled my underwear and pint of Canadian whiskey out of the bag in front of everybody. I wasn’t embarrassed. Then they sat me in first class as an apology. I drank free beer all the way to Detroit.
So underwear and Canadian whiskey equals first class – damn have I been doing things wrong!
I walked right into that one Griz, but it is a true story.
I had to leave suddenly, bought a last minute ticket, bringing only a carry on bag (with underwear and Canadian whiskey along with some CD’s to sell) which brought up red flags at the airport. I’m a caucasian of Welsh descent but I guess they can’t take any chances.
Happy New Year Grizz! Let’s reel them in $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Grizz, when you eventually get North Dakota it will be just like home, in fact you probably wont even notice you left. With one exception, we don’t say eh.
Hmm, as California is 52% Hispanic anyway, the Mexicans already run the place and never told anyone…
…and football will always be football (or “futbol” if you’re Californian) because the only country in the whole world that misuses the term is about to implode under its own mountain of national debt and be taken back by the United Indian Nation who will put up a casino on every corner and stick the finger up at Macau…LMAO!
[...] post – I did it to find out if my site is fully optimized for my keyword. The post title was The Death of the USA. If my blog wasn’t fully optimized in Google’s eyes I would have got some gruesome ads [...]
Griz, they gave me the full treatment at Saginaw airport. Pulled my underwear and pint of Canadian whiskey out of the bag in front of everybody. I wasn’t embarrassed. Then they sat me in first class as an apology. I drank free beer all the way to Detroit.
Ben, I am really sorry to hear they made you land in Detroit. That must have been awful.
Lol…
Fiar I was tempted to make the same crack but figured I’d already peeved off my Toronto readers so I’d leave Detroit alone…
I’m from the Rust Belt, so I’m going back to Canada, where my ancestors had to flee in 1776 in a big hurry. Seems my great-great-great i forgot how many greats grandfather was a Tory and fought for the wrong side in the Revolutionary War. Advice: if you’re going to war, pick the side that’s winning.
Fiar, It was only a layover/switch planes. That “Disco Tunnel” between gates was an experience. I’ve never actually been to Detroit (besides the airport). I was headed back to Florida.
Want a scary airport? Try Hartsfield (Atlanta).
Hi Griz:
There have been various maps drawn through the years. This one is not as good as some others. In particular, no way would California (Nuevo Mexico del Norte), particularly Southern California, end up in the same block as Oregon and Washington.
I sure wish a breakup had happened 40 years ago when I could have enjoyed it.
BTW, when the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics (USSR) came apart some years ago, my comment then was “One evil empire down; one more to go”.

Hey G-
Does this post have anything to do with that other of yours I read about being able to see the bs for what it is? I agree with zania nice bait, Griz.
And like bait it is what it is: pointed, tempting and stinky. It’s wonderful to see all the hate-America-first Kool-Aid drinkers fall in lock-step and spew forth their usual dribble about the evil empire they (still) call home.
Some ignorant communist professor not withstanding, as I see things, Texas, the rest of the traditional South, Wyoming, Idaho, Monatana, Alaska, Oklahoma, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas would combine into a national strength able to whip Mexico (again) and Canada in any economic or military test.
Texas’s state GDP (PPP) is already on par with all of Canada’s and all of Mexico’s. As the only state to have been a free-standing nation before that historical mistake to join the Union, Texas national pride still runs very wide and strong here, bud!
Now with some reservations it could be seen that most of your western provinces would probably be allowed entrance into the new Lone Star Republic, but the Francophiles in Queerbec and others like them would be expunged.
My advice to you Griz, and all your frozen brethren, learn to speak Texian (with a drawl), get yourself some Wrangler jeans and some manly footwear. The Eyes of Texas are upon you…. :0
Remember the Alamo! Don’t tread on me!

You sound like the kind of person that would enjoy my political humor site.
Sorry Grizz, but I just had to do it.
“Canada gets to take over the American heartland”
That sound you just heard was Ben Franklin rolling over in his grave. He had an eye on taking over Canada from the start of the United States. Thing is, Canada is still more socialist than the U.S.
This map would be more complete if it included Quebec breaking off and joining the EU, or at least France, at the same time the NE US goes off.
Hey Grizz…how about a posting on how to create an off shore account?
Hehe, lovely post Grizz. Us Canucks (I’m a Vancouverite) taking over the US? It’s good to be on the other side of the equation.
Hi Griz:
Love your blog, thanks for all your post they help!!
Crazy, yet plausible scenario.
“Oh no! Anything but evil socialism!”, they cried as the bankers sucker punched them into crushing debt and massive corporate welfare for those who had just robbed capitalism’s cheer squad of their life savings and indebted future generations with 65 Trillion in debt.
Ha ha. Conned!
