The test

I was a bit thrown by the message that pops up at half time, and panicked my way through the second half. I suspect people who know what shape a certain bread product is, or are familiar with American coinage will do better than I did.

I completed it leaving 5:44 on the clock.

Feel free to leave comments/scores.

Give me your tired, your poor

I love intolerance. It’s one of the best ways the truly moronic can show themselves up without effort.

I especially enjoyed this article, about someone who seems proud of the bigotry.

Of course, I’m sure a native of Philadelphia is aware that 23% of all Philadelphians speak Spanish as their first (and in a lot of cases, only) language.

Mr Vento is undoubtedly also very much aware that his name indicates he is of Italian descent.

I find his reference to “Freedom fries” irksome though, perhaps more so than his bigotry.

Although I’m sure he’s quite aware that the whole “peace through war” thing that Mssrs Blair and Bush are devout believers in, isn’t actually working, there is probably a better way of illustrating your contempt for a nation that isn’t as supportive you’d like, than renaming deep fried potatoes.

Anyhow, here’s an image I found.

Of course, the original statue, given by the good people of France, to commemorate the 100 anniversary of America’s independence (you know, that’s the term for being able to do what you want without being forced by others….) is elsewhere. Perhaps Mr Vento’s grandparents once saw it from a ship.

This one is facing it’s big sibling, all those miles away.
