Dom Giordano of WPHT in Philadelphia just had a great idea. Make a map of the world in blue and red, just like the 2000 Election map. Countries that either have troops in Iraq (23), are cooperating with the "War On Terror" (60) or have leaders publically supportive of Bush would be RED. The racist in Thailand, the Poodle of Europe (France) and other appeasers would be BLUE. Someone probably has the graphic capability, so let's supply the information: 1. Name the countries in Iraq Who are the appeasers? Who's got the artistic/graphics talent?
2. Name those cooperating in the :War On Terror"
3. Otherwise supportive of Bush (state reason)

I'm thinking a few verses from Randy Newman's Political Science may be in order.
Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us.
