MY COUNTRY 'TIS A THEE: Inspired by Francis' attack on the term "aptly named," I want to take up the cause to have another cliche abolished: "Only in America."
In this day and age is there really anything that could happen in this great nation of ours that couldn't happen in, say, France, New Zealand, or Somalia? After all, when you read something like this, you never think to yourself, "only in Zambia."
Now granted, some things are very unique, but are we really so nearsighted nationally to still believe that"only in America could a guy take a movie that cost a mere $65,000 to produce and use it to embarrass and wig out a multibillion-dollar international corporation" or that "only in America" could an actor be elected president. Didn't Italy elect a porno star as its prime minister?
Rags to riches? Only in America. A few bad apples spoiling the bunch? Only in America. A paid public speaker with a speech impediment? Only in America.
And speaking of "Only in America," Don King is out stumping for Bush? WTF?
