An Apology To Canada

It seems I owe our Canadian neighbors to the north an apology. Back on June 1 I suggested that George W. Bush was unleashing bilblical plagues (SARS, Mad Cow Disease) on them for their opposition to the Iraq war.

Well, no sooner had I said this that Monkeypox began popping up in Wisconsin, Indiana, and a number of other states. Now it's even starting to look like the virus is being transmitted person to person. But that's not all: With all the rain we've had, the eastern US is certain to endure a bumper crop of mosquitoes--and even more West Nile outbreaks--this summer.

It is now obvious that my suggestion that Canada's problems were the result of Divine Retribution were disrespectful, insulting, immature, ignorant, inconsiderate, demeaning, and the product of narrow minded thinking. It was an incredibly stupid thing to say.

So to all Canadians: I humbly apologize.... Even if you are all still a bunch of sniveling chicken weinies.
