Is there anything Americans do every day?

Whinge.

Clearly that would be a British thing. We don't speak that way. :P

Americans never whinge.  We do not even whine about whinging.

Shit, we don't even know how to pronounce whinge.

No, that's just European quaintness.  Like how they still buy fresh bread daily and shit.
I think it also has something to do with availability and security of petroleum supplies.  Most European countries didn't have oil, and so wasting it on huge numbers of trucks was something they couldn't afford to do.

I don't think one can get citizenship in the Republic of Texas anymore :hmm:

Your foreign Senator seems to think otherwise.

QuoteSen. Ted Cruz cracked on Congress and the whole D.C. political culture with a recent Twitter message pointing to the brewing battle: Inside the Beltway vs. Beyond the Beltway.

His tweet: "It's great to be back home — I've spent the past month in Washington, D.C., and it is great to be back in America!"

Nice.

I wouldn't take that as an attack on the poisonous political culture created by the Democrats in Washington, but rather his discomfort at being in a city with so many blacks.  He's Canadian, and we aren't built for that sort of thing.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Could someone hit Tim?  Please.  He deserves it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
