Preferably one with a lot of brown people with funny names. They are scary!

Do you think we could get a wicked cool music video to accompany the invasion clips on Fox News?

21. But they'd conquer us with those handy-dandy little knives.
We wouldn't stand a chance.



Especially against the corkscrew.

13. Canada

Instant universal health care coverage, mandated by the Equal Protection Clause that Scalia loves so much. Actually, can we make a few calls to officials in Ottawa to make this happen? I'm struggling to see a downside here for either party.

16. Great idea - we could saunter in and take it easy like Reagan took Grenada
It'd be like the NY Yankees taking on your kid's Little League team. And damn wouldn't those Yankees pwn!

17. Canada and Cuba. It's not socialism if we make THEM provide health care for 40 million.
