Running Against Europe? Tsk! Tsk!

In the current political environment—and, Lordy Lord, the next election is still seventeen (17!) months away—one candidate has started to use the E-word as a synonym for evil. In that context it is well to remember that, as of the last Population Estimate published by the Census Bureau, nearly 80 percent of the U.S. population is said to be of European origin. If the Europeans are so inept, weak, and subject to E-coli like socialism, yet most Americans come from that stock, the only explanation for the Mighty Healthy American syndrome (MHA) I’m able to offer is the local food. By all means let’s Eat American. And we should immediately write to our Congressperson and demand that he or she insist that the White House not be permitted to serve enervating and decadent delicacies like pâté de foie gras.
