Dear Citizens of Clark County

It has come to the attention of many of us in the Blogosphere that a certain foreign newspaper, The Guardian, is handing out addresses of registered voters in your county and urging their readers to directly communicate by personal mail to tell you how to vote during this very important Presidential election.

Most of us have never been to Clark county, but if it is a microcosm of middle America our guess is that your days are very busy dealing with earning a living, raising families, and getting the kids to the dentist on time for their semi-annual screening.

(Of course since you are knuckle-dragging, gun-totting, NASCAR Americans toiling away in flyover country and are obviously not as nuanced as our friends across the pond, you don't enjoy the benefits of a more advanced society which offers European style national health systems. If you did you could get your semi-annual screenings free, as long as you were willing to put up with a fifteen-month waiting list. But let's put this issue aside for discussion on another day.)

We are certain that the British citizens who are participating in this exercise have nothing but the best of intentions, and go to sleep every night worrying about the security of our homeland. However when you were growing up, your mother at one time or another probably gave you the following admonition when it comes to getting unsolicited advice: “Consider the source. And don’t forget to brush your teeth.”

Well the Blogosphere has been considering “the source” (i.e. Guardian stories and articles) since September 11th and to be blunt, it is not a pretty picture. Is the Guardian objective and balanced when it comes to understanding American security and the mass murder of thousands in New York City? Does the Guardian follow the grand tradition of balanced journalism that we Americans have come to expect from the New York Times, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw? Sorry. Let’s strike that question. (When you are a blogger jihadist, criticizing main-stream media is like shooting fish in a barrel. Sometimes it is SO difficult to maintain focus.)

Back to the main point, we think that it is high time that the citizens of Clark County put the young ones to bed, go to the cupboard for a double dose of Pepto-Bismol, and take a serious look at what these moonbats have been saying at the Guardian. (Note that our criticism is directed towards the Guardian and not Britain as a whole. Obviously the UK has been our most steadfast ally in during these difficult times and Tony Blair continues to be the most articulate spokesman on the world stage addressing the war on terrorism.)

So put on your secret decoder rings and wear your tin foil hats as we present Guardian's articles about the War on Terror, September 11th, George W. Bush, and our beloved country.

Regards,

The Guardian Angels of the Blogosphere
