It's probably not a good thing, but I have been reading The Sun lately. Here is an interesting list ... Americans are 49th on the list for most annoying - Get over it!

Funny, I don't see those pesky suicide bombing Islamic terrorists on their list. Nope, just us McDonald's eating Americans.

If you can find P.J. O'Rourke's Rolling Stone essay "Terror of the Euroweenies" you would have a good laugh. I read it on the airplane coming back from England after studying art there for the summer in 1985. I was emerging from youthful political naivity, and his take on Brit's was so spot on after my experience living with them for the summer I was genuinely impressed with how he captured it so precisely. The Brit's spent the whole summer slandering Ronald Reagan who we had re-elected. I giggled the whole flight home. It might have been the catalyst for getting more interested in politics.
