I have learned my lesson about drinking bourbon and posting on Freerepublic; next time I’ll be drinking Scotch. I wish I could say that everyone that reposted this was as polite or as gracious, but sadly this isn’t the case. A few sites have shown that some people will go out of their way to be offended and use any excuse to attack and vilify those that do not agree with them, even if the offending article is a farce.

To make it very clear, IT WAS A JOKE! The foreign born dictator comment, and the “silly us” comment were added for the birthers (who didn’t get the joke either), and it was meant for a strictly conservative audience. I am amazed that anyone read it, let alone took it seriously and got angry over it. It should be obvious to everyone that a private citizen has no power to apologize for his/her nation, but alas, you seem to have been the only one to understand that.

Again, thank you for making a fool out of me without being nasty about it. My canine companion (her name is Josie and she is a Fox Terrier) thanks you as well.

Which part of “picks and chooses” did you have difficulty comprehending?

Note: take not the mickey from Monty, he’s a National Treasure (yes, also present tense), although we’d be delighted for you to continue taking the mickey from Mr Williams, who clearly deserves it.

Ooh, nice orthography joke.
