Saw this website, sorryeverybody.com, from my dose of michaelmore.com



From the 49% of americans that are truly sorry.



For all those americans that did NOT vote for Bush, we forgive America. :p





screenshots taken from the classic computer game. SIM CITY!

LOL. I love this Richard already.











All these photos from http://www.sorryeverybody.com/

Most of the Americans, I must say, are still literate.









Any americans claiming aslyum, welcome to Singapore!



wait. *look at Singapore's PAP government*

eh, forget it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



A lot of people have been waiting for me to blog about Bush's victory.

sorry. I didn't blog about this earlier as I need time to get over it.



Its almost as bad as a failed relationship.



4 more years. sigh.



American has been kidnapped by the conservative far right.



Kerry lost not because he wanted to get out of Iraq.

He didn't lose because he wanted to roll back tax cuts for the rich.

He didn't lose because he has a sound economics plan, concrete health and education polices.



He lost because he is pro-choice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



When my friends, a good hefty number of them, and I declared that Kerry will win, we were super confident.



even the betting odds showed it.



The huge turnout on election day was overwhelming. It made american history. The turnout was frightening to the Republicans. A huge turnout will be more favourable to Democrats, whose supporters, the poor, blacks, women, etc are more pro-Kerry and LESS likely to vote.



A huge turnover on election day. The odds for Bush's victory rocketed skyhigh.

(for those non-gamblers, increasing odds reflects decreasing chances)



I saw photos of democrat supporters crying.

I can really feel the loss. In fact, I was goddamn pissed tat day. And surprisingly, there were a lot of young people of my age, who felt the same about Bush's victory. (I was at NUS arts computer lab checking the results)

If there is any consolation, as michael moore as pointed out.

Contrary to all predictions and to tradition, MORE young adults (18-29)

voted in last week's election than in any other since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote in 1972.

The youths of Americans voted overwhelmingly.

Not only did they come out in historical numbers to vote, they were the only age group to vote majority for Kerry.

Unlike 2000 when Gore and Bush almost evenly split the youth vote (Gore:

48%, Bush: 46%), this year Kerry won the youth vote in a LANDSLIDE, getting a

full ten points more than Bush (Kerry: 54%, Bush: 44%).

And he gave "17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists" after Bush's victory.

Basically america is still within salvation.



Oh well, 2008. Looking forward to that.

From a classic satire newspaper, one that make up news and write great articles. :)

my favourite read each week. www.theonion.com



its beautiful how satire, and stuff that makes u laugh....it often speaks the truth more boldly than the mainstream media..

WASHINGTON, DC—The economically disadvantaged segment of the U.S. population provided the decisive factor in another presidential election last Tuesday, handing control of the government to the rich and powerful once again.

"The Republican party—the party of industrial mega-capitalists, corporate financiers, power brokers, and the moneyed elite—would like to thank the undereducated rural poor, the struggling blue-collar workers in Middle America, and the God-fearing underpriviledged minorities who voted George W. Bush back into office," Karl Rove, senior advisor to Bush, told reporters at a press conference Monday. "You have selflessly sacrificed your well-being and voted against your own economic interest. For this, we humbly thank you."

Added Rove: "You have acted beyond the call of duty—or, for that matter, good sense."

According to Rove, the Republicans found strong support in non-urban areas populated by the people who would have benefited most from the lower-income tax cuts and social-service programs championed by Kerry. Regardless of their own interests, these citizens turned out in record numbers to elect conservatives into office at all levels of the government.

"My family's been suffering ever since I lost my job at the screen-door factory, and I haven't seen a doctor for well on four years now," said father of four Buddy Kaldrin of Eerie, CO. "Shit, I don't even remember what a dentist's chair looks like... Basically, I'd give up if it weren't for God's grace. So it's good to know we have a president who cares about religion, too."

Kaldrin added: "That's why I always vote straight-ticket Republican, just like my daddy did, before he lost the farm and shot himself in the head, and just like his daddy did, before he died of black-lung disease in the company coal mines."

Kaldrin was one of many who listed moral issues among their primary reasons for voting Republican.

"Our society is falling apart—our treasured values are under attack by terrorists," said Ellen Blaine of Givens, OH, a tiny rural farming community as likely to be attacked by terrorists as it is to be hit by a meteor. "We need someone with old-time morals in the White House. I may not have much of anything in this world, but at least I have my family."

"John Kerry is a flip-flopper," she continued. "I saw it on TV. Who knows what terrible things might've happened to my sons overseas if he'd been put in charge?"

Kerry supporters also turned out in large numbers this year, but they were outnumbered by those citizens who voted for Bush.

"The alliance between the tiny fraction at the top of the pyramid and the teeming masses of mouth-breathers at its enormous base has never been stronger," a triumphant Bush said. "We have an understanding, them and us. They help us stay rich, and in return, we help them stay poor. See? No matter what naysayers may think, the system works."

Added Bush: "God bless America's backwards hicks, lunchpail-toting blockheads, doddering elderly, and bumpity-car-driving Spanish-speakers."
