Turning The Country Around

Thank Goodness those conventions are over!  I slept through most of the  speeches, awakened only when the crowd noise swelled in response to a stirring challenge, like "Let's turn this country around!" What a great idea!
Hollywood could experience first morning light and freezing weather, perhaps curtailing their silliness after sunset. Can you picture the Malibu homeowners getting up their icy driveways? Imagine how Alaskans would love the sunny beaches formerly occupied by Floridians! They could see Cuba from their porches. Hawaiian vacations would be dirt cheap, the islands now plunked down in the Gulf of Mexico. It's been said that someday California will break off from the continent and float out to sea. Fine! Let it float all the way to Portugal. (If we don't turn this country around, California will break off and smash into the Hawaiian Islands.  NOT good for tourism.)
Personally, I think we should also flip this country - slap on a little paint, remodel the bathrooms and sell it for way more than we paid for it. We could  take over some other place, like we did here. I'm sure the Portugese would welcome us. Remember, as California goes, so goes the nation.
