Biting The hand That Feeds You

Isn't it amazing what the passage of 60 or so years will do to the collective memory of the world's population--particularly the memory cells of the ungrateful, vocal assholes that reside in France, Germany, and most recently--ITALY.

People like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin wanted to take over Europe during WWII, leaving a small corner of the world in Asia to the Russians and Japanese for the time being.

Instead of the UN and USA fighting and abandoning the Korean war in the late 40's and early 50's, the above parties would probably have fought it out among themselves at that time had Winston Churchill not persuaded the US to fire up our evil capitalistic right wing military machine and open a military/industrial strength can of whoop-ass and place it in the middle of the foreheads of the little communists, socialists and fascists leaders and their henchmen.

Today, basking in the glow of three generations of freedom and prosperity purchased by the taxpayers and solders of the USA, the Europeans love to publicly crap all over us anytime they possibly can. Our domestic leftists and Democrats love to cheer them on because they, like the Europeans, are suffering from a severe case of cranial-rectal inversion (heads up their butts.)

The investigation of the shooting of the speeding Datsun sedan (OK maybe it was a Ford Pinto) containing the Italian equivalent of Austin Powers--Nicola "yeah baby" Calpari--and Dorothy of The Wizard of Iraq--Guliani Sgrena--by the US forces this winter has ended in a tie.

The Italians say we killed their countryman and wounded the socialist bitch "news reporter" on purpose or at least without adequate warning/ We say that the James Bond wannabes drove headlong into a military roadblock at 60 MPH without notifying US authorities that they were out for a senic drive.

Now the Italians have "accidentally" released the PDF files of detailed copies of the official report that also "accidentally" happens to contain the names of the solders that did the shooting and outlines the standard operating procedures of the US military regarding checkpoint security and the movement of personnel in Iraq.

Blog diva Michelle Milking has the details and put the burr under my saddle tonight on this story. Please excuse my profanity, but I think that profanity is warranted in this instance.

We can't stop this kind of thing from happening--especially with dang foreigners. What we can do, as Americans, is vote with our wallets.

I haven't drunk a single bottle of French wine in several years. I'm adding Chianti and Asti Spumanti to my list of embargoed products in my household and on my menu dining out. (After all, the Australians can take their slack in the wine department any way...)

Everybody--repeat after me--ITALY SUCKS, ITALY SUCKS, ITALY SUCKS, ITALY TOALLY SUCKS.
