    The Year in Review (LOLcats Style)

    sfweekly.com — You’re not supposed to admit to liking LOLcats, just as you ’re not supposed to openly champion year-in-review issues. But we have combined two of our guiltiest pleasures into one shamelessly superficial summary of an incredibly historic year. We hopez u likee.

    This is true.
    He's drawing his lines in the wrong places, I think his time frame is a little advanced, and the part about influence from other continents is mostly BS, but he's basically seen the future of the US.

    In reality, New Mexico goes in with what he calls The California Republic.  Maybe Colorado too, but Utah fuzzes that region up for me.  Washington, Oregon, and Idaho go in  with what he calls The North Central American Republic, but the states East of the Mississippi do not.  They go with what he calls Atlantic America, while Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina do not.  Those three stay with what he is calling The Texas Republic.  Alaska and Hawaii were never visible to me, for some reason.

    For years my personal shorthand for these four regions has been drawn from Moore and Gillete's, "King Warrior, Magician, Lover," as follows:

    King

    Atlantic America

    WarriorThe Texas Republic
    MagicianThe North Central American Republic
    LoverThe California Republic

    Boston will be a very interesting place to be, as capital of King, which will be the most powerful of the bunch. 

    Warrior will be dirt poor and very aggressive, with incredible internal racial unrest among the white underclass.  King and Warrior will always be at one another's throats, but rarely actually at war after whatever cataclysm initially breaks them up.  (I don't see that, either.) 

    Both will maintain an armed truce with Magician, which will actually be ruled from the Northwest.  They will control the farming as well as technology, and feed the continent.  St. Louis is another majorly interesting place to be at this time, as it will be a major trade gateway.

    These three zones will mostly ignore Lover, which will actually be the most peaceful of the bunch, despite Utah.  The place where I would most like to be in this world -- other than Boston -- would be Albuquerque.  There's a major philosophical Renaissance happening there at this time that eventually provides the seeds for a new beginning.  Ardentane is an important part of this, in some way.

    This pile of Unverified Personal Gnosis came out of some experiences I had traveling the country with my parents back in 1976, when I was 15.  While I've had conversations about these experiences with individuals over the years, this is the first time I've talked about them in public in any real sense.

    Please don't divorce...
    Send pictures of you and your friends holding signs that say, "Don't divorce us!" or "Don't divorce my moms!" or "Don't divorce my friends, Dawn and Audrey!" or "Don't divorce Californians!" to pleasedontdivorce@couragecampaign.org. We'll put all of your pics together in one place and make sure all the right people get the message -- the lawyers behind the effort, the press, our friends and neighbors.
