Americuh

If after watching this video you wonder, who could possibly care about whether or not people call the U.S. “America,” let me answer: A lot of nutters on the internet who continuously email me about it. Seriously! I didn’t just invent this issue. If after watching this video you wonder, how could The Resident, a liberal and intelligent New Yorker, side with people who want to call the U.S. “America,” let me answer: Don’t be so quick to put me in a box, yo!  What the hell is wrong with people that they really get riled up about this? You know, when I get battered over the head from any angle about such a thing – be it from the right, left, smart, or straight-up bananatown – I seriously just want to run in the opposite direction, fast. Because there simply is NO REASON to get all riled up about issues like this, from any angle. Like, get over it people. Americans have confiscated the name “America” for themselves, and by Americans I mean AMERICANS. And I don’t need to clarify that to any sane human being. Which is to say, if you are asking me for clarification, you are insane. K? K. There. I feel better already!
