INSULTING FRENCH PHOTO CAPTION OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!

I had hoped to be finished for the night, but Agence France Presse acts on LITTLE much as GENERAL JR. acts on STERNO!!!!!, so....

A British hooligan in the streets of Belgium. The typical Briton is polite, witty and phlegmatic, but lacks a certain style and has a dental hygiene issue while having an occasional drinking problem (AFP/EPA/File)

This caption may be INSULTING!!!!!!!!!!!! and UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but it also contains the kernel of truth. That LITTLE may hate the French doesn't mean we could not respond in kind to their arrogance, their rudeness, their venality, their willingness to climb in bed with villains, but occasionally even the INSULTING!!!!!!!!!! stereotype from an ENEMY has the faint whiff of verisimilitude.

Which gets me to thinking what kind of music SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS love -- pretentious album rock and AH'M PRAAYOUD T' BEEEEEE A CAAAAAAYN...AMERICAAAAAAYN!

P. S.

If any doubt existed of Greenwood’s “forever imprint” on America, it was dispelled in 2003—the 20 year anniversary of its release—when “God Bless The USA” was voted online by Americans as the “most recognizable patriotic song” in the nation. The song that Lee Greenwood wrote bested competition that included “God Bless America” and the “National Anthem” as a modern national anthem of the common man. [Emphasis added.]

"God Bless America" is a third-rate song with club-footed lyrics that became beloved only because the beloved Kate Smith sang it; "the 'National Anthem'" (as this semi-literate publicist calls it) is a barroom ballad about a man named Jose that no one knows how to sing. That doesn't make your song the BEE'S KNEES, Lee.
