The above link just made my day! On so many occasions while I was in England, I wondered how some very stupid Americans ever obtained the money to leave the country in the first place. At worst they made me ashamed of my heritage, and at best they made it difficult to defend our culture. Not all of us are loud, xenophobic, wasteful, burger-stuffing fanatics of dumbed-down television with a false sense of cultural supremacy, I would tell people. And as if on cue, an American tour group would snake by and prove me wrong.

More on this when I get home from work.
