Questions For USians Who Know More About US Politics Than I Do

[Thumpalumpacus]

Sidebar: My use of the term 'USians' isn't meant to be offensive, it is a shorthand I adopted a long time ago for 'US citizens'. I used to use the term 'Yanks' for people from the US, but that made crowds of you spin out of control for some unfathomable reason (kidding - I fathom it). I dislike the term 'Americans', since most USians I talk to don't speak Cherokee.

And Thump? 'Limey' is RIGHT OUT, GET IT?? Mick, Paddy, bog-trotter, muck savage, pot-licker, shant, SID, turf-cutter, taig or wic I can deal with. But call me 'limey' one more time, and I'll arrange to have someone visit you in the small hours and put a ferret up your jumper.

Meh, you lived on an island off'n Europe, that's good enough for me.
