Why are so many people starting their sentences with "uh" these days? Is there some kind of TV show where this is done and people are copying it? I remember that "doh" used to be in vogue. Is this from the same show? I'm curious as to how this practice has entered into our language.

The author is pathetic and knows little about American capabilities. Reading this you would think that we are dependent upon help.

Total denial.
