[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Fussbett"][quote]I hope I'm wrong on all that but I bet I'm not. I wish that the United States's national pride was not riding on what is almost assuredly a piece of crap.[/quote] Maybe you didn't get the memo, but your national pride now rests on Government Motors going down in flames. >:([/quote] I worry that people outside the US or - for fuck's sake! - people <i>inside</i> the US think of sideshow freaks like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck as representative of the American mainstream. There's a ton of money being spent to give people that impression, but it's not reality. They're like political Kardashians. In my mind, the two legitimate sides of American political debate are not represented by Fox and MSNBC; they're really represented by the Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio. Most of the people I know are really listening to one of those two sides. [/quote]
