funny how she automatically assumes one would take precious time out of his or her day to respond to her rants about missle defense. Apparently it did not occur to her that what really upset most of us is the gall she has in referring to GWB voters as "out of step with the rest of the world". Here's my email to her -- obviously no where near as creative as Doug's response!

Dear Ms. Parrish,

Nothing gives me and many of the 59,291,175 voters who re-elected George Bush greater pleasure than being out of step with you and your whiny, liberal compatriots north of the border (and that is not meant as an insult to most Canadians who we know have more common sense). It apparently has not occurred to you that when we go to the voting booth to choose our president we put the best interests of our country and its citizens ahead of the interests of terrorist appeasers such as yourself and citizens of other countries. In fact, I'd go so far to say that many of us view a vote for GWB in the face of "70% international support for John Kerry" as a badge of honor. Why would we care after all what percentage of non-Americans support either candidate?

We are dumbfounded by your elitist, intellectual "superiority" but I wish you luck in your future political career (seems you will need it). I suggest you mind your own business next time around and stick to commenting on Canadian elections as I can't remember the last time we Americans meddled in one of your elections. And by the way, I'm sure the likes of George Soros and Michael Moore were very heartened by your comments. Perhaps you could invite them to live in your guest house for the next four years and expedite their visa applications which are sure to arrive shortly.

Yours in democracy.
