Well, even if George Bush has failed to create jobs here, it turns out he has made a difference overseas.
And speaking of overseas, Dougie sent me this:
Technical Notice
Dear World
The United States of America, your quality supplier of ideals, liberty and democracy, would like to apologize for its 2001-2008 service outage. The technical fault that led to this eight-year service interruption has been located, and the parts responsible for it were replaced Tuesday night, November 4. Early tests of the newly installed equipment indicate that it is functioning properly, and we expect it to be fully functional by mid-January.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the outage, and we look forward to resuming full service --- and hopefully even improving it in the years to come.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The USA.
