APOLOGIZE GLOBALLY

www.sorryeverybody.com

This pro bono site collects and posts thousands of portraits of pouting and wincing Americans clutching handwritten apologies to the rest of the world for re-electing Bush. But don’t get carried away. Photos deemed “too hateful or hostile” won’t make the cut.

www.bluestater.net
