Hawaii wants out? Let 'em.

Yeah, Hawaii is nice. Beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls. All very pretty. But they're not the only pretty fish in the sea. We have options.

Puerto Rico is pretty damn nice. It's got beaches. It's got jungle. It's got Arrecibo. And the food is waaahayyyhayyy better. Hawaii has roast pig and poi. Poi is nasty. Puerto Rico has lechon asado (better roast pig) with mofongo. And arroz con gandules. Can you say "sofrito"? That's Puerto Rican love. And, one word - rum. Game, Puerto Rico.

And PR isn't the only offer we've got. How about Guam? The US Virgin Islands? Or a little place I like to call - the District of Columbia?!?!?! DC has put in the time. They deserve statehood.

If Hawaii wants to bail, I'm not going to beg. Make like Lee nails, and press on, baby. But don't come calling when Russia decides they need a little annex room. Or when that tidal wave you've been keeping an eye out for decides to show up. Our Coast Guard will be busy protecting the people who want to be citizens. Aloha means "hello" and "goodbye".

Ok, you can't punish all Hawaiians for the acts and beliefs of a group of protesters. Let's all calm down and give Hawaii a chance to speak for herself. Sheesh. lol
