Show Your Support of the President!
A Wisconsin paper has developed a serious editorial dilemma, I'm guessing brought on by the loss of over 70,000 jobs in that state from Jan. 2001 until now:

"We’ve been getting more letters critical of President Bush than those that support him. We’re not sure why, nor do we want to guess. But in today’s increasingly polarized political environment, we would prefer our offering to put forward a better sense of balance.

Since we depend upon you, our readers, to supply our letters, that goal can be difficult. We can’t run letters that we don’t have.
[SNIP]
If you would like to help us “balance” things out, send us a letter, make a call or punch out an e-mail."

The opportunity to help them was pointed out by Jesus' General, a fabulous blog specializing in beautiful, pro-Republican, pro-heterosexual, 100% sarcastic call-to-arms letters from a Christian perspective.

Below is my attempt at answering the call, showing my support of President Bush. I know you can do better--here's the form. If you write one, please copy your letter in the comments so we can all read.

"Dear Editor,
Thank you for the invitation to show my support for President George W. Bush! Just think how far our country has come since the days when the evil one (Bill Clinton) and his hippie staff wore their blue jeans on Air Force One. Back then, we had all that extra money, there were too many jobs out there to choose from, the stock market was boring to watch because it only went up (no drama!), and our military boys hardly got to shoot at anyone. I mean, come on, no excitement.

Enter W. He knew why we had all those surpluses: too much tax money coming in! And he knew why we weren't doin no shooting: we weren't even at war (Duh!).

When he's not on extended vacations, George W. has brought honor and dignity back to the oval office, and sent all the Clintonian deviant sex stuff out of there and back where it belongs: into the low-morale world of an untrained, unregulated, overworked military, to try out their crazy experiments on Arabs in our new gestapo-like prisons all over the Muslim world. Thank you Mr. President!
