Oh the banality

Yesterday when channel surfing I came across the annual embarrassment that is the Nathan's Hotdog eating contest.

The guy doing the MCing said something along the lines...as the event was starting, "Who dares say the United States isn't the greatest country in the world now?!!"

Two things. At that moment, me or anyone else with a minor sense of rationality or shame. Second, I think I can think of one reason "they" hate us and it has nothing to do with pork-byproducts.

Oh, and it gets better.
