By now all Libertarians, excepting perhaps those few diehard Second Amendment Millennium Survivalists still abiding in self-sustaining freehold caves near the Canadian border, are familiar with the concept behind the Free State Project. To bring you up to date, the plan calls for people of libertarian temperament to move to a single high-freedom low-tax state in sufficient numbers to out-vote the local populace, take political control of the countryside and fashion Freedom in our Time.

In fact, while you were tending to your mystical mushrooms in your lower grotto, the movement has already begun moving. New Hampshire was declared the destination of choice and some Porcupines (as Free-Staters dub themselves) have begun their Eastward migrations.

The idea behind the idea, of course, is that if you can't change a whole country, change one fiftieth of it. Little wonder, you may conclude from your front cavern lounge rock, that the idea would catch on with other groups.

Like Christian Exodus, for example. These folks are miffed by the fact that they've done everything right -- voted Christians into the top political slots of the land -- and still the USA is not a Christian country. So now they want to move thousands of believers into a single state and transform it into a Godly garden of Christianity and Constitutionality, concepts that seem to contradict since they decry the absence of prayer, the Bible and the Ten Commandments in publicly funded institutions. South Carolina, their web site ordains, is the political entity slated for re-Christianization.

Or consider this headline from the Dave Barry "I am not making this up" school of journalism:

Jharkhand eunuchs set to enter political mainstream

The Indo-Asian News Service reports that a band of eunuchs plan to contest all 82 assembly seats in next year's election in the state of Jharkhand, India, and expect 300,000 Spay Rights activists from all over the country to aid their campaign. They are peeved because, as one spokesneuter put it, "The government never bothers about houses, jobs and other things for eunuchs."

(It's stories like these that make satire so damnably difficult.)

Soon enough, in any event, we'll be witnessing ever more aggrieved groups seeking the NewFoundLand of single-issue colonization. Stay tuned to your media of choice (short wave radio for you cave-dwelling diehards) for movement news like these:

PETA Casts its Eye on Wyoming.

An organization calling itself PETA -- no, not that one, the Political Emancipation of Tame Animals one -- is organizing a mass road trip that will take its members to the Cowboy State on behalf of animal liberation.

"Wyoming has the lowest population of all the states," stated a spokesliberationist for the group. "Wyoming has more cattle than people. Once we get them organized we'll have a bovine plurality. Then we'll turn the Cowboy State into the Cow State."

The group still needs 20,000 additional activists.

Welcome to DiverCity

The Diversity TaskForce aims to take over one city and rename it DiverCity. At this point, organizers say they still need to recruit:

One left-handed hearing impaired Puerto Rican man, Cross-dressing French-Canadian albino twins (not to be confused with French dressing Canadian albino twins, which the group already has), and a Goth Wiccan New Age Soul Sister.

All are "liberal" since, by definition, only liberals can possibly be diverse. As the group's spokesbeing, a two-headed Congolese mute, explained in amerslan, "People who are all white or all black or all something else and are hopelessly infected with thought processes about things like 'freedom' and 'rights' and 'Christianity' just are not diverse. They're all just part of one big blob of existence."

Actress Advocates Homeland for Actors

Actress Crissy Buffy Tiffany, star of the new hit adventure-horror-suspense-unintentional comedy Dude, Where's My Weekend With Terminator 7 wants all celluloid thespians to band together and take over a region of Southern California. "Like, I mean, you know, we actors and actresses are so caring and compassionate and like environmentally sensitive and politically correct and love animals and everything that we should, you know, have our own place where a benevolent, gentle government will pay doctor bills and day care and minimum wages and equal pay and like all that for all the little people and taxes will support psychic research and group channeling and . . . huh? . . . We already have a place like that? . . . Hollywood? . . . oh . . . never mind then."

Maybe you survivalists got it right after all. Save me a small stalagmite where I can hang my hat in your cave.
