My Stupidity, America's Gain

Let me just state for the record that I'm an idiot; no need to repeat what I've already determined in the comments.

Here's what I'm talking about. If you care to read the last few issues of this newspaper, you'll learn that I've been travelling the world for the past week or so. On Sunday morning I left Australia, returned to the US to fight a few battles, then took off to my current location of Mexico. What happened next can only be blamed on poor pre-morning coffee inattentiveness. Out of habit I took a job and worked one time to get some local currency. Fairly harmless, right?

Well, that's when the war in California broke out. Now I'm stuck here until I can resign (09/02) or I can convince my employer to fire me (no luck there yet.) Thus, I'm unable to directly fight in what looks like will be the mother of all battles.

Choosing to light a candle rather than curse the darkness, however, I offer this as an atonement. I WILL AWARD 1 GOLD TO FIVE US CITIZENS to fight in California in my stead. The first five applicants who meet the following criteria will receive the booty:

1. Must be a US citizen with a strength equal or greater than my own (6.12.)

2. Must request the gold in the comment section.

3. Not really a requirement, but it'd be nice if you subscribed (it's a small price for getting gold.)

Again, I know that I'm an idiot, but I am an idiot willing to do my part.

UPDATE: As per the suggestions below, the gold's going to the 1st AD.
