A country with a self image problem

I got this from Little Green Footballs.

It’s a piece from Freakonomics blog published in the New York Times. There, if that’s not convoluted enough, I don’t know what is.

The question is: What would you make the Motto of the USA in 6 words.

Yikes

Here are some entries:

What can we screw up next?

Hubris: it’s not just for Greeks!

All your oil belong to us.

Equal Representation* *Offer void in D.C.

“God bless America! And nobody else!”

“The Orwellian Superpower with Christian Roots.”

Life’s fast, screw saving, spend faster.

“America: Because We Know Better Than You.”

Where’s the Free Stuff?? Vote Democrat!

Everyone hates US; immigration way up

Lawsuits, Mullets and All-you-can-eat Buffets: Awesome!

“No, we still don’t like soccer”

USA - “That hot girl who ignores you”

Bold Leadership for a Brighter Yesterday

America….at least we’re not Canada.

One Nation, Over Weight, Over Budget

Greed. Lust. Consumption. The American Dream!

“McDonalds! Walmart! Microsoft! Starbucks! Porn! Christmas!”

USA… Big Man On Campus… Once

God bless America! Starting with me!!

One Nation. One God. Screw You.

America: bombing you, suing each other.

Like Ancient Rome, with flush toilets.



And, if you read them all on both LGF and Freak you will see a trend. The USA sucks, but less than everywhere else.

I think the USA needs a hug.

I won’t blame Rush for this. Although..............
