    Like “Born in the USA,” this song is…not positive about the US.

      My favorite use of that song was in Candian Bacon when John Candy and friends were singing it while fillibustering in Canada, except they only know the refrain:

    Every time I see his name I can’t help but think that in college his assigned email address would probably have been ablinken@fuckingschool.debt.now.

    It must be such a relief for Blinken whenever he can go to Ukraine and be on the right side of history.

    Facilitating a genocide in Gaza must really do a number on a man, you can tell by the hideous bags under his eyes.
