Fox in an attempt to applease the Mexican Public (pissed of because NAFTA didn't help economy) refused to endorse Bush's Iraq fiasco.

Well before this mess, I read that a Mexican restaurant had angered some residents of its town by flying -- get ready for a shock -- a Mexican flag. They demanded that it fly the US flag instead. So other countries manage to piss Americans off just by being rude enough to exist.:banghead:

[snooty northwesterner]It's Lewiston. 'Nuff said.[/snooty northwesterner]

Nothing... but he hates those bastards from the county of Cheddar in the UK.

I believe they're referring to an that one edition SNL's Weekend Update where Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon said as follows:

Fey: In protest to France's opposition to a U.S. war in Iraq, the U.S. Congress' cafeteria has changed French fries and French toast to freedom fries and freedom toast. Afterwards, the congressmen were so pleased with themselves, they all started Freedom kissing each other. In a related story, in France, American cheese is now referred to as Idiot cheese.

Fallon: Trust me, they're laughing at us, okay? French fries aren't even French, they're Belgian. Some American guy named them wrong to begin with. Also, we're pouring bottles of French wine down the toilet? Stop it! You already paid for the wine, you dopes! Pee in a wine bottle and sell it to some French people -- then you're doing something.

Fey: And don't think that by eating Freedom fries that you're being patriotic and helping the war effort. Use less gasoline, read a newspaper. You know what? How about we cool it with the Freedom fries anyway, you fat asses! We are the fattest country in the world. Have you ever walked around an American mall? It's nothing but Chick-fil-As and Lane Bryant track suits busting at the seams!

Fallon & Fey: Do something!

Or would it be, for the alliteration, Constitution bacon?

I guess not, since the administration doesn't really like the Constitution either.

Hmm...

Oh, I see. I also thought he may have been insulting the good people of Monterey Bay, California. But it makes more sense that he's against the Cheds, since they're a part of "Old Europe".

Nope, not just Lewiston it's most of Idaho. A restaurant in Nampa was forced to change the name of their "french dip" after incessant complaints from customers. Semi-rural Idaho towns have got to be the most jingoistic Bush-Worshipping locales in the world. Other than Moscow (during the school year), the Wood River valley and certain sections of Boise, Idaho is a political wasteland.

The big issue with Canada is from the bible fanatics who hate everything homo. As far as foreign policy, I don't think anyone has anything to say pro or con about Canada.

Thus, Canadian Bacon, must become Heterosexual Bacon.

The Canada Goose, must now be called, Traditional Marriage Goose.
