Careful with your admiration for the guy. clarkson is a rabid anti-American.

Yes, I thought he let some of that peek out with this line: "We were ordered to weep like Americans when Diana died..."

This author apparently doesn't understand that we in the US are fighting the exact same battle, and that weeping and whining is no more part of true American culture than it is English culture. If he is looking to the Oprah Winfreys of the world to catch a glimpse of American culture, then he has virtually no understanding of this country at all.

Clarkson’s rabidly anti-everyone. He’s an equal opportunities ranter.

Although caravan-towing drivers probably get it worse than anyone.

He doesn’t really know much about America. I was raised in the South and my Mom would give me hell if I even looked like I was going to cry. At 57 I’m wondering where this “feminine side” is that I’m supposed to get in touch with. I look at some of these quivering little youngsters now and wonder what happened.
