...America's first black president says of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people." Oops. Then the same people who've spent the best part of two years hurling racist abuse at Obama and his family demand "where's the outrage?"
..."Billionaire pedophile goes free" can be a headline.
...Oliver Stone says "There's a major [Jewish] lobby in the United States... They stay on top of every comment", is quickly forced to apologize and no-one spots the nagging irony.
...the Republican party has as "de facto prayer guru" a guy who wants to kill gays, stamp out witches and claims to be able to miraculously "multiply Thanksgiving turkey dinners".
When you wheel out that hoary old chestnut "only in America", I suspect the rest of the world rolls its eyes and says "thank God" under their breath. But despite being weirder than anything M. Night Shyamalan could imagine on 'shrooms, despite the mind-boggling array of freaks and psychos we harbor, 'Merika keeps on truckin' as well it should. We're one big shiny demo for the rest of the less-free world of how Freedom™ ain't without quirks.
