Dear Limey assholes

In case you missed it, The Guardian, the UK pro-Labour Party newspaper ran a program that encouraged reader to send letters to Ohio voters in Clark County. While sympathizing with their cause, I thought that it was a terrible idea. When I lived in Ohio I didn't recall locals even thinking much of people from the East Coast (like myself) let alone people from overseas. It seemed to me that this was patronizing and hypocritical considering the fact that Tony Blair has been the enabler for Bush in Iraq.

The response back to The Guardian was pretty much as one would expect including all of the standard anti-British insults. Call me cynical but it seems as though this is precisely what The Guardian wanted. Instead of helping with a real problem the Brits once again get a laugh and can talk about how stupid Americans are (and how brillant they are) instead of accepting their own responsibility in the Iraqi fiasco. How clever.
