US News

[ordos45]

Anyone here ever read US News and World Report? I have to admit there are a few of you (Edric and Emprwrm) that I thought of when I saw this week's issue and its cover. Let me quote the title to you:

THE AMERICAN EMPIRE

And the subtitle reads:

IS THE U.S.

TRYING TO SHAPE

THE WORLD?

SHOULD IT?

(and yes those caps are the way its printed on the cover, except I'm too lazy to insert a bolding tag.)

It has a bald eagle with the american flag in its mouth perched atop the globe as the cover pic. If you turn inside to the article itself...one of the pictures is Earth with pie crust, and a huge stars and stripes hand cutting a piece out of it.

Anyhow, the whole American Empire thing just made me think of these boards. lol

If you are referring to me, I was talking about the picture and making stuff up.
