Okay, this really made me laugh. Pulaski's silence even makes it more funny.

Here's the surprise ...

My initial reaction to the specific post was very similar to Pulaski's response though.

(we are experiencing rapprochement, which will inevitably expire)

However, when I saw that the poster was in the US and not Canada, I found it funny. I always get pissy when the Canadians come in here and tell us what a bunch of assholes the US is/are. Seriously. We already know that we're assholes, constantly pointing it out makes you look like an asshole. Asshole.

As you were.

I recommend that you go and lie down in a dark room until the feeling goes away.

Let's be honest, there's a fair few million of you who don't know that. However they're unlikely to be on BE so I'll let you off.

I mean, the entire world is full of arseholes, so it's not exactly a competition anyway. There are plenty of arseholes in Canada. Most Canadians will point you to Quebec, for example. And Jim Lahey is a drunk bastard, and will always be a drunk bastard.

It's basically arseholes as far as the eye can see, in any given direction, and not the nice kind, either.

I'm not an arsehole, everyone else is.

I was overly ambiguous, wasn't I? I should have been dealing in potential arseholes, rather than absolute arseholes.

Or perhaps, on this blessed day, we're all arseholes.

Rob Ford was the governor of Toronto for four years. God I miss him.

Chris Christie is not a passable substitute?

Toronto is a city, it has a mayor, which is what Rob Ford used to be.

Chris Christie isn't on crack, even though it seems like he is.

Not at all. Christie's entertainment value has plummeted to nil.

I wonder if we could import Rob Ford as White House Press Secretary now that we are sans The Mooch?

That would be improbable.

Okay, fine. Shut up. Whatever. This is why we can't have nice things.
