WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE? THEY HAVE NO OPINION TO EXPRESS.
Forgive me if I digress. But I was under the impression this Blogit category is for those with a strong desire to express their opinion on some burning issue or other. Right?

AT LAST! A CHANCE FOR YANKS TO SING THEIR OWN PRAISES
Since starting this blog back in Apil, countless people have written to me pointing out that Americans are not all bad. (Most such comments have come from Americans, of course!). But that's beside the point. My intention here is to spell out why millions across the world hate America and its...

WARNING: THESE YANKEE WOMEN ARE SIMPLY AWFUL. (NAMES REVEALED).
As promised, here are a few more American icons everyone loves to hate. But, as you'll see, this time I've restricted my list to the fairer sex - although as we all know, they're not so very fair in the United States.
