Why I love America

• Blogger – of course
• They still use miles an hour, gallons and pounds weight
• Gwyneth Paltrow
• Frasier
• The fall colo(u)rs in New England
• Groundhog Days
• American cars – so good I own one myself (OK so it’s German branded)
• Paris Hilton – trashy but classy
• The US embassy in Abu Dhabi – a stealth bomber as a building
• Disney World but not Epcot
• The Rockies and Death Valley
• San Francisco
• Lake Havasu
• Muhammad Ali
• Star Wars (ANH, ESB and ROTJ)
• Anything called Enterprise
• Groundhog Days
• Have a nice day – and meaning it
• McDonalds (but only in the US, somehow it’s tastier)
• John B Chilton
• Humphrey Bogart
• Michael Connelly
• A theme park with it’s own beer tasting (Anheuser-Busch)
• We could have been huge – frogs and chameleons
• The American flag in almost every garden or house
• Motown

However I still stick to what I said about Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and to quote The Daily Torygraph:

"The movie hits a serious stumbling block, though, when the usually dependable Sam Rockwell appears. His timing's all off as vainglorious galactic president Zaphod Beeblebrox; pitched too broad and too high, the performance is a liability, and he's not helped by the lousy special effect whenever a degenerate second head pops up from under his neck to spout abuse."

Nothing about Americans in general but one in specific.
