Dear  World:

We, the United States of America, your  top-quality supplier of the ideals of 
liberty and democracy, would like to  apologize for our 2001-2008 
interruption in service. The technical fault that  led to this eight-year service outage 
has been located, and the software  responsible was replaced November 4. Early 
tests of the newly installed  program indicate that we are now operating 
correctly, and we expect it to be  fully functional on January 20. We apologize 
for any  inconvenience  caused by the outage. We look forward to resuming full 
service and hope to  improve in years to come. We thank you for your patience 
and  understanding,


Sincerely,
THE UNITED STATES OF   AMERICA


I realize this is supposed to be clever, ( perhaps not). But the technical  
fault that it refers to is called an election. Just because it may or may not 
go  the way that you prefer does not make it a "technical fault". 
 It strikes me as profoundly sad that people feel the need to  apologize when 
the election doesn't meet the program specifications they want. 
 I think it's pretty arrogant for someone to sign using the signature  they 
did. I missed the memo that gives them the right to speak for  everyone.
