Steyn replies ' the truth is Americans love their guns and love having them'.
The Frenchman replies 'a lot of people here would love to have guns too'.
"Exactly' says Steyn.
The only Norwegian that matters this weekend is Viktor Hovland at the Ryder Cup (and he played his college golf at Oklahoma State, not Fjord University).
Kurt seems to be generalizing from those at the UN in NY. Around the world, people are sent to the UN to get them out of their home country where they are not wanted and would just gum things up.
Norway has lots and lots and lots of money from oil.
They should take all that money and give it to Africa.
Then they should all eat that snot-salmon they call Ludefisk wrapped up in potato tortillas while hurtling down a ski jump in summer on roller skates carrying a big sign saying “FREE THE POTATOES!”.
I’m agreeing more as we travel.
The maids at the hotel couldn’t even understand ‘air freshener’ when I translated on the iphone!!! I pointed to my nose and acted like I had a spray bottle. Still didn’t work. THEN she finally understood and brought me the freshener to use in our room. Try to get a wash cloth!!!!
They have been there for over a year and don’t seem to want to talk/learn English for what their job entails. Plus, watching them clean is scary. I bring Lysol and wipe down the sink and toilet so that I have ‘first use’ cloths.
Great column.
“Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck.”

This guy is an arrogant idiot. We are moving into a multipolar world and need as many allies as we can get. Military power alone isn’t going to be sufficient we need to project soft power as well which requires the support of our allies. Telling other countries to just buzz off will just encourage them to align with the BRICS nations further weakening the dollar. So screw this pinhead and his shallow understanding of how the world works.
