During my travels, I found the French to be the most obnoxious. Politically, sexually, and as to there cuisine verses our cuisines.
Russia was insistent on their total military superiority in the world, and how they saved our asses in WWII.
Germany only insulted our beer and choice of thin women.
Now England was great and treated us as if we were good friends, I just hated being called a Yank, instead of by my name.

My uncle would call me a yank, I'd call him a limey
Got a taste for 'cellar cold' beer over there. Bitter rules!

Granted,
Our beer does suck
But don't rub it in every chance you can, just because you can.

I used to like Bud ok, but the darn furrners changed it. Now that we've microbrew crazy there is a lot of good beer out there.
I seached and searched for bitter here and was sad until I found Goose Islands' 'Honkers Ale' - it's real bitter. Can't find Old Peculiar anymore though

After watching the STOU the other night, I'm surprised Ears didn't wrap it up with some Lee Greenwood.
He was laying it on pretty thick.

Don't they always?
Ronnie's speeches got me to talk to a US Air Force recruiter. Seriously.

Just think about how disappointed you would have been once they informed you at boot camp that you wouldn't ACTUALLY be piloting a Spit.

Last time I was up in Canada, the news stories always seemed to find a twist to blame their problems on the U.S. It was more like national narcissism than exceptionalism.
We get tourists up here from all over the world. The Japanese and Chinese are the rudest by far. No attempt to learn even the most basic "hello" or "excuse me", and they have no concept of treating others with respect or consideration. They can't form a line and wait their turn, just blatantly push, shove, and squeeze in mob style.
