yeah that is a really pathetically dumb headline. though not as dumb as what the Gurardian has been up to (and I’m not even talking about their all-black “Oh, God” G2 cover – what, religion is cool again? The Independent had a pretty horrific front cover too):
“As the world settles in for four more years, however, readers of this column are surely wondering—as are the British Guardian readers who participated in the paper’s “Letters to Clark County” campaign—how did the good people of Clark County, Ohio, vote? A quick look at CNN’s breakdown of the votes in Ohio shows that Bush beat Kerry by a margin of 51 percent to 49 percent.
So much for the influence of well-meaning Brits who hoped to cure America of its Bush-loving ways. Or, in the words of one young man named Matt who posted a comment on the Guardian’s newsblog: “Just wanted to thank the Guardian for helping deliver Ohio to Bush. Cheers!”

when you consider that Leslie Neilsen saved their Queen from being shot by Reggie Jackson, this is all a bit much.
