when the status quo frustrates.

and we didn’t invent apple pies, either

Of course, it really reveals nothing of substance about Obama other than his religious faith in America Uber Alles, which is unfortunately a prerequisite for anybody wishing to be prez, but I still found this pretty hilarious.

    The apple pie thing has always puzzled me. Do you perhaps make really good apple pies?

    Like most things, Americans don’t make really good apple pie (though I suppose we make it pretty well). What we do is SELL apple pie really well.

    The idea of “American as apple pie” has roots in WWII propaganda; it was supposedly an answer for why soldiers went out to fight. However, the idea really caught hold when Chrystler used it to sell it’s “all-American” car.

    Besides, who doesn’t like apple pie?

    I am so happy to hear that. You have rekindled my belief in America’s unique right to dominion over the world! ;)

    But I didn’t INVENT them. So our right isn’t UNIQUE, see? :)

    A gluten-free pie hardly qualifies as “all-American.” ( – ;

    That sounds delish. Do you have a recipe?

    Me. It’s the number one reason I could never emigrate to the USA.

    You have obviously never had one of Lisa’s All-Americans.

    Oh, I totally cheat–I use prepackaged crust mix that’s gluten-free. HOWEVER, my delicious butter-and-brown-sugar crumb topping is all my own invention, as is the combination and proportion of spices I use on those hand-sliced unpeeled (but cored) Granny Smiths. :) If there’s rilly an interest in the recipe I will be more than happy to post it.

    As long as the Granny Smiths can be replaced by Fujis… oh wait, that kind of ruins the whole “All-American” part. Damn.

    Come on, then. RECIPE! RECIPE!
