This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

I think it might say something about America that our politicians' go to method of insulting a foreign country involves food.



Wait, this is in response to a World Cup Match, which (I assumed) is a friendly competition and not a harrowing blood sport?And because of this, actual politicians are calling for the total boycott of anything invented in Belgium, even though most Belgian Waffles in the US are probably made by US companies, so the only people hurt by this (if any) will be American small business owners? Is this correct?

And if the answer to that question is 'yes', or 'pretty much', I have a follow up question:

Just what in the name of all that is good and just in the world, what is wrong with you people?

Uh it's not really serious, chaossamus. I mean the jingoism is real, but no one is actually organizing a boycott.

tell him to suck my dick
I got an answer for you! Last night I dreamt that Ariel and I went to a marsh in the middle of Sydney to catch ducks. He gave me a stick of magical charcoal and I drew a circle on the ground that if a duck stepped into it, it would be instantly frozen and I could just pick it up and take it home. Unfortunately, people kept walking into it instead and soon we were surrounded by a pack of frozen human statues in weird contorted positions. He thought that what we were doing was probably illegal so we went home before the cops showed up. Instead of taking us anywhere that I recognised, the train dropped us off at a charity organisation that manufactures and installs benches for men who are much taller than their wives, so that when they're out in public and they want to kiss there's always a handy bench nearby for the lady to stand on.

I'll leave it up to you to interpret this.

Freedom Fries was about something semi-serious (it was still a really dumb move). This would have been about a friendly sporting match, which is why I was so shocked.

Freedom Fries also involved actually changing the name of stuff in the House cafeteria and places around the country doing that, whereas this is a few tweets from people that apparently don't even serve/eat Belgian waffles.

Plus, I see you in the cartoon thread all the time, absolutely nothing should shock you.

Of course, Ted Cruz decided that he had to out-do his colleagues with the fake(?) jingoism. He's really overcompensating for that time he was a Canadian, which was his entire life until last month.
