are greatly exaggerated. I’ve posted about Igor Panarin’s crackpot idea of America breaking up in 2010 over at Outside the Beltway.

It’s pretty hilarious, isn’t it?

I personally think it is projection on Panarin’s part. He’s had to witness the collapse and break-up of the Soviet Union.

“Canadian influence?” There’s no such thing. Even Canada isn’t under Canadian influence.

I’ve got a great story about that. Stop me if you’ve heard it. I read this in a newspaper column written by a Canadian columnist maybe 30 years ago. “Canada could have had the best of everything: French cuisine, British traditions, American technology. Instead we ended up with British cuisine, American traditions, and French technology.”

Very funny, actually. I can easier see my home state of California braking up into at least three parts. We could look a bit like the Balkans.
