In the Waterstones store (which is a big chain like Barnes & Noble) in Ealing: Ever seen an entire rack of books in a prominent place in Barnes & Noble about the Prime Minister of the U.K. or Canada? Quick, average American, can you even name the Prime Minister of the U.K. or Canada? T-shirt … more…
I thought Stephen Colbert had reached a comedic peak recently with that “Swedish model/emulate-the-Vikings” word-of-the-day bit.
