I admit it, I am to blame and I am so sorry for causing so much human misery to everyone because I am guilty of original sin.

I admit it, I am to blame and I am so sorry for causing so much human misery to everyone because I am guilty of original sin.
Well that might be a bit of a stretch. But I fear I am responsible for all the stupidity that has been inflicted on the rest of the world by the United States.
You may be thinking what is this damned fool thinking about, but it is really quite simple. I am a British citizen who can trace his family tree back 120 generations. Among my ancestors are Prydian, whose name is supposed to be the root of Britain. If he had never been born, not only would there have never been a British Empire but there would have been no need for the Puritans to have had to seek out a place where they could practice their religion and settle I'm what would become the United States. I do not have to spell out all the historic consequences of that fateful migration, suffice to say among them are the Bush Administration and the fact there are people living in small towns across America who like Lisa Simpson have lost faith in democracy.
Furthermore, if my ancestors had not decided to exploit and ravage Africa first for human cargo to swap for tobacco and cod and later for its raw materials, there never would have been a Kenya for Barack Obama's dad to leave and come to Hawaii and meet Barack's mum who would marry him and give birth to Obama.
So I feel it is necessary for me to have to apologize first to the people who live in small towns across America who the talking heads have accused Obama of insulting because he pointed out that politicians and talking heads have been pandering to them for years and they are disillusioned and have lost faith in the system.
Second, I would like to apologize to Barack because if my ancestors had only been willing to put up with the Puritan's annoying , then their descendants would not have been able to use their public pulpit to spout their ignorant misinterpretations of what you say as a tool to distract us from the crimes being committed in our names in the occupation of Iraq.
Lastly I would like to apologize to Hillary, because if there had never been a British Empire, Obama's mum would never have met his dad and Barack would never have been born and you would have not had the snot stomped out of you in the primaries.
Now I have apologized for the sins of my fathers, I think it would be a good idea for Hillary to fly to Iraq, go to Sadr city and apologize to the Iraqis for her vote and I would like to see John NcCain walk unprotected through Basra so that all of us who have accused him of being full of shit can apologize to him if he makes it back alive.
Bye for now, keep safe and remember we are all guilty so we should all have to take a time out stand I'm a really big circle scratch our asses and scream we are sorry. If we make enough noise maybe the gods will forgive us.
Over and out. Sorry if this was a little absurd but what I want to know is who is going to apologize for insulting our intelligence and decide Bush's approval of torture is not worthy of our outrage and Obama's saying many of us pissed off and alienated is akin to treason.
