Like Fish in a Barrel

Evil Conservative, who I must add to my links because he's a total hoot, has found an absolute classic.

The whole we're sorry thing pisses me off for so many reasons.  It's fine that they do it, I mean, nobody takes it seriously, but living over here makes me more sensitive to crap like that.  C'mon, folks, show a little spine!  Europeans don't like Americans, they never have, and they certainly won't like you any more just because you make a frownie-face and a little sign that says, "yeah, America sucks, but I'm different, see?"

Nobody likes a sycophant; do what your conscience tells you, not what you think will make people like you more.  Didn't they teach y'all this stuff in Sunday School?
