Tired of seeing that same old map that paints large empty spaces of our country red, as if the desert itself supported Bush? I am. Check these maps out for a more accurate representation of Bush’s 51% ‘mandate’.

Sure, 48% of us are still in mourning over the narrow defeat we suffered at the polls this week. But there’s a bigger burden that we bear. Our President is frequently referred to as “the leader of the free world”, and the power he wields leaves the rest of the world (free or not) subject to the consequences of his whims.

So, despite our best efforts, it’s certainly a reasonable and polite gesture to apologize to the world for our failure to remove the idiot boy President, and you can do just that with a photo sent to sorryeverybody.com.
