Tony Blankley, writing at The Washington Times, has "A modest proposal" that suggests Vicente Fox and Al Gore run as a team for president and VP, to lead Americans north into Canada and adjust to global warming. But what about the French Canadians you ask? Blankley has a simple solution:

It's true there are some pesky French up there. But Americans know how to deal with bothersome local tribes who don't know their place. We'll put the French on reservations and let them run gambling casinos. After all didn't the French invent the croupier. Think of policeman Louis Renault in Casablanca only pretending to be shocked at the fact of gambling going on at Rick's Place.

And:

Meanwhile, with global warming Hudson's Bay will become our new Chesapeake Bay -- except immensely larger. We will set up 500 miles of oyster beds and corner the world crab market. The Canadians have just really done nothing with the world's largest bay (You know, its almost as big as the Gulf of Mexico.)

I loves me some political satire!
