We will only be great once we realize how terrible we are

Lileks has a great screedy response up to the Freakanomics blog's contest to come up with at six word motto for America. Here is a snippet, but read the whole thing here:

"Anyway, America sucks except for a few parts of some cities if you ignore the Starbucks, and people in other countries are basically okay but no one in America knows it because they don’t have passports, and Dubya wants you to hate Islam which is ridiculous because I was backpacking in Tunisia for a few days and people seemed pretty cool. Hey, look at this, someone posted a video on YouTube that makes it seem like Huckabee is supported by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What’s for supper? Thai? Again?"
