We're Sorry

Sorry1

Check out the Sorry Everybody  website, where Blue People are apologizing to the rest of the civilized world for not defeating BushCo. The site explains:

Most people who think carefully understand that Americans are not really any more jingoistic or xenophobic than people in other countries, but it never hurts to reinforce, especially considering what happened on November 2nd, 2004. What must it have looked like to the world outside our borders? America proudly re-appointed her reckless, incompetent and corrupt government. How much of America? Fifty-two percent. The rest of us are aghast and dismayed . . . Rarely do people on the internet apologize. I thought it was high time. The world needs to understand that there are people in America who don't like what our government is doing. And from the mail we're receiving, there are people in the international community who appreciate this.

Also, come on, it's kind of amusing.

Once you're done with the photos on the page, click "Next" and you can see lots more. (Thanks to Nancy G. for the heads up on this one.)

And yes, I'M SORRY! How about you?

Check out pages 120 and 134. It's fun to just choose randomly and see what comes up. I love the ones from Tunisia and Saudi Arabia to us in the US.

I'm going to have to get back to other stuff, but I can't tar myself away. Check out the message from the Frenchman on page 108

I have to stop my computer keys from sticking. "Can't tar myself away?" Geez!

There are options for everyone apparently:

If you think you are sorry, go here: sorryeverybody.com

If you think you're not sorry, go here: notsorryeverybody.com

And if you're sorry because someone else is not sorry and they're bothered because everyone else is sorry (i think), then go here:

The real problem is that we now have a Sorry Sack of Shit in the White House for four more years. Sorry, that's an awful thought. But then again, perhaps the sorry chickens he's sent out in the world will finally come home to roost. I wouldn't be sorry if he finally got his just desserts but then they'd have to go way back to his coke-sniffing. AWOL daze in the national guard to start toting up his sorry failures.
