So your wife burned your cap.  It'll be another 86 years before they win another on!!   From a viewer in Rhode Island and, we suspect, a Yankee fan.

UK Home Office Response to U.S. Election

 November 09, 2004, 02:05:03 AM

To the citizens of the United States of America,

In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to
govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
independence, effective today.

George Bush as dump as a post!  I know a lot of smart posts and none of them, well maybe a few, could out think our president.   Think it's easy out  there, day in and day out, in all sorts or weather, just standing there?  Give it a try.  You'll see.  No, Bush is right up there with the best of them.  Of course good hard oak is best, but I like George just the same.

An Election Poem 

ENOUGH SAID!!!!
The election is over, the results are now known.
The will of the people has clearly been shown.
We should show by our thoughts and our words and our deeds
That unity's just what our country now needs.
Let's all get together. Let bitterness pass.
I'll hug your elephant.
You kiss my a__.
