Awful smug for a place that still has Croydon.

Because what has the U.S. ever done since declaring independence? Truly nothing but a downward slope since the heady colonial days.

This is like Hugh Grant, when the anniversary of the Elizabeth Hurley divorce rolls around, trying to pretend he’s drinking cabinets of scotch because he’s “celebrating no longer being responsible for that removed, Liz” and totally not because he’s a broken, barely-recognizable husk of his former glorious self. And we should know.

You can never totally divest from the fire you started friends. Even if it burns beyond your control.
