Who will they blame? I say the Canadians.
On Thom Hartmann today he was saying that the oligarchs’ plan is to impoverish the American population and then look for someone to blame. Hitler blamed the Jews, so that’s probably out. Hartmann thought that our fascist leaders would blame those with brown skin. I don’t like to disagree with Thom but, that might cause some problems. For example, who’s side would the Boner be on? And, statistically, there are a hell of a lot of non-white people in American. I am not liking the odds. I think we should blame the damn Canadians. They have better health insurance, live longer and have lower infant mortality rate. And they are just across the border laughing at us. I know they are.
So what do you think?

18. I think that's true.
My favorite spot on earth is Henry's Tavern in Portland. Like 100 beers on tap. Sit at the bar (with the magical icy beer coaster ring around it), and see how far I can go.

15. Interesting that you would say it's unAmerican. Cant Canadians claim to be Americans too?
They live in North America just like us. Why should we only get to call ourselves Americans?
