Re: Lonely little train diary on dKos ... (none / 1)

Yeah, St. Louis just got some lame commuter rail a few years ago. And no thanks to the French. Horse and buggies can be found in some of the smaller French settlements in the area.

Re: Lonely little train diary on dKos ... (4.00 / 3)

Really, we could blame our transport problems the French, when you think about it. The horse-and-buggy thing made us predisposed to cars down the road.

And then you consider how Anglo Disease is really the Germans' fault, as I mentioned a while back, and it dawns on you: Fucking Europeans.

If it weren't for the Europeans, there would be no U.S.A., let alone all the wrath that country hath wrought. The Native Americans and their ponies weren't buring holes in the sky.

And the Brits and the French are the ones responsible for all for all the crazy religionists -- the Brits with the Puritanism and the French with all that weird voodoo shit they've got down in Louisiana to go along with the damned buggies.

Well, I'll take the weird voodoo shit over the nut job Puritains any day. In fact, I'd send the zombies after the Protestant extremists.

You think we should build an Anglo disease memorial in Berlin? But, hey, that disease was our revenge for the voting for Bush in 2004. Just wait what we do with your America if you vote John 'fawning Germans' McCain into office.

That's not fair. You sent us all your stupid people. At least the Brits had the decency to ship them all to Australia, where they'd eventually kill themselves with water shortages. But, no, you Continentals had to send them to Ohio.
