Sorry Nothin'

You've probably heard about the latest phenomenon sweeping the Internet: Sorry Everybody, a website on which Americans proclaim their sincerest apologies for Bush's re-election and foreigners accept them.

What a load of crap.

Granted, some of the images are touching and creative. It's nice to know that there are a few sane Southerners down there, and I'm suprised by the general level of Photoshop proficiency. And it's also good to see that people care.

But really, what are we APOLOGIZING for? We did our part. We voted for the good guy. We just didn't get enough people on our team.

In other words, we didn't do anything wrong.

One could argue that the website is apologizing for the entire country picking George W. Bush. And I will say (as will most readers of SuperMattalica) that I'm not happy about the election results one bit. But it was done democratically, through fair elections, by the rule of law-all things to be proud of and NOT apologize for-and now we've got to deal with it. Saying we're sorry for doing the right thing doesn't help, but it does make Democrats seem like even bigger wusses than usual.

Instead of whining to the rest of the world, why don't we get off our keisters and make some noise? This is the latest source of Republican hypocrisy over which the Democrats haven't been willing to get mad. Come on Democrats! Stand up for something!
