Gee, doesn't one's neck turn red from working hard out of doors? Stupid lazy Euros. I suppose if they weren't so dirty they might be able to get a slight bit of neck color from sipping espresso outside.

"And who, you ask, was Clinton's favourite singer?"

That one's easy - it's whomever Clinton is sucking up to at the moment.

America likes to see itself as the world's mad dog.

LOL

I expected a lot worse with the barf alert. Except the line "Jennings is from that distinguished generation of newscasters who dragged middle America back from the Vietnam madness," it could have been alot worse.

This kid can write.

Even so, I would be pleased to see a boot go up his ass.

[wallcrawlr]

I think over half of 'em are gay over there.
He'd probably enjoy that boot.

Exactly. I'm sure the Slickster was talking to an MTV crowd when he claimed Michael Stipe was his favorite singer. I somehow doubt a man his age owns many REM albums.

Thanks to us "Ugly Americans", the Brits and the rest of their Euro counterparts aren't licking the boots of the Nazis or the Commies.

[Looking4Truth]

Yeah, and what kind of music do we get from eurosnots? Techno-crap monotonous thump-thump for hours, girlie-boys too numerous to mention, that Bjork thing, and even though I hate most hip-hop, I've got to laugh at the euro-weenies cheap imitations.

Now The Who, Scorpions and probably a few of that genre that I can't remember I'll thank them for but they're in the minority.

A redneck country singer is tops with the guys in uniform. No wonder Dubya invited him to the White House

Oh goody the limeys have finally shown their true colors! I love it! Always remember fellow american citizens it's the british and their beloved commonwealth of nations against you and your rights, always pride yourself that you are no longer attached at the hip to these people.

[Jean S]

Oh goody the limeys have finally shown their true colors!

This is the Guardian. They represent the most liberal of what you call the limeys. Don't judge a country by it's most liberal newspaper. Do you want the rest of the world to judge the U.S. by what is published in the New York Times?

[Bogey78O]

'A redneck...'

From Euro-trash I consider that an ethnic slur.

[BraveMan]

The Celebrity Death Match I'd like to see . . .
V.S.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

The EuroTrash are as bad or worse than our cowardly elite liberals. This is what we were heading to until 9/11. Hopefully we began a U-turn on that day.

[Looking4Truth]

That's hilarious but toilet-boy would probably enjoy it too much.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Good point.

[evolved_rage]

Our elite liberals always whine "Why can't we be like Europe" to which I usually say "Move to Europe!" Considering that most Europeans today are descended from cowards not willing to cross the Atlantic and build a new nation, our liberal elite are just as cowardly, not willing to move back to Europe where they would be happier.

[weegee]

The "ugly American" may have returned in fashion for the Euros but it appears that the "ugly limey" has never left.

There are some of those liberals who actually have. On one hand they aren't hypocrites since they plan on retiring there, but on the other hand they are because they are doing it as DOD civilians and contractors meaning that they don't have the same tax burdens as regular euros. Those jerks are living a lie on our dime.

I know because I worked in Germany as a DOD civ for a while.

Also, I can't confirm this yet, but I believe that 'same-sex partner' benefits are provided for DOD civs in Europe since living there is such a 'hardship'. Lot's of them I figured were homos but never paid attention until I got that info after moving back to the States.
