Online newshound — and self-styled gumshoe — Matt Drudge continues to scare the hell out of office lackeys and far-right keyboard commandos with today's giant headline reporting a Russian analyst's comments that the United States is in the throes of collapse and will eventually dissolve into six parts.
[Russian political analyst Igor Panarin] predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong.He even suggested that "we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after all."
We'll see what the governor says about that on Monday, Mr. Panarin.
