I am sure that everyone has heard of the anti-Americanism that is so prevalent in today's society.Well, let me tell you, that anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-Americanism is well and truly alive and kicking across the pond. So much so that certain Londoners seem to have had their brains so addled by this that they have also melted Canada into that bubbling cauldron of genetically modified intelligence that is the United States of Amereeka.
Canada?
America?
"Same thing, isn't it?" they sneer.
What happened to the greatness of Canadians? When did our tree hugging, granola eating, Birkenstock wearing mentality become similar to that of the gun toting hypocrisy of the US of A?
Example: LadyMissMarquise, enjoying her mojito and chatting to mad Welsh friend Tiki, who for reasons unbeknownst to us, is on mission to score A Banker.
Spies A Banker.
Off like a shot.
Leaving little Miss M quietly enjoying her cocktail.
Friends of Banker spy...
Lady Alone.
Make beeline.
Friend of Banker, now quite drunk, leans in to slur something resembling the english language incoherently into my face.
"Pardon me?" I say, having been brought up with good manners.
"Oh...."says Friend of Banker, recoiling - and I do mean recoiling. "Obviously you're American."
Sneering the last bit.
Without skipping a beat, MissM calmly
"...and you are obviously an asshole."

OK... Not all of us Americans are bad... We can't help that more than 50% of us voted wrong.... what about the other 40ish percent??? I live in Texas but don't share in pride that one of "ours" is now the president.
