Remember the Absolut brouhaha?
Remember the Alamo?
Well, none of those contentious binational wars would ever come close to what’s looming behind a moronic proposition to rename the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America. The brilliant idea popped into the head of State Rep. Steve Holland of Mississippi, most likely because there’s not a lot to do in Mississippi, so people have plenty of time to think over important stuff.
I couldn’t make this up… even if I tried.
So from now on and without further ado, I am going to go choke on my café americano, ahem, café mexicano.

¡Ay no! No puedo con tanto ignorancia. Faltaba mas! Ojala que no se alboroten los estados colindantes, ya ves que sobran los …endejos por esos laredos.
Quise decir TANTA ignorancia.
State Rep. Steve Holland is absolutely right. History teaches us that Mexico has always been a threat to the USA (Remember when they wanted to take Texas away from us?). So it’s only fair that we start using a name that makes clear the gulf belongs to America. (And America means USA, of course.) I just hope now that there is somebody out there brave enough to change the name of “New Mexico” to “New America” or “New Freedom” (Like “freedom fries”, remember? By the way, that was another awesome idea.)

Tersites: Must be writing in sarcastic key, right? I’m an average-educated Mexican, and all that nonsense only has a meaning for me if you’re sarcastic or if you’ve not read a letter of History in your life… like that Representative seems to.
Esto suena a paranoia, pero no me sorprendería. Habrá que ver si Mississippi no está detrás de la desaparición misteriosa de la isla Bermeja. 🙂 http://www.contralinea.com.mx/archivo/2005/julio/htm/lglobal/isla_bermeja.htm

Well, since Europe is very unitedstatesian-ized… that ALSO shall be called America… well, let´s call it United States, so we don´t get confused with the term “America” that stands for the whole continent -from Canada to Argentina-… so, let´s call it the United States… and Japan, and …
or we could say from now the SSA:
“The Stolen States of America”
I think we need to beging (1) requiring minimum IQ’s for anyone in the government and (2) begin impeaching people when they show sheer stupidity. Clearly that guy didn’t meet the first criteria, he should now suffer step #2
