"Living in America must be a terrible burden to you."

Not really. Can take it or leave it really, basically neutral on it. Like I suppose most Americans feel about say Belgium. There are worse places to be stuck in.

"I hate to see someone suffer the burden of living with people you are so obviously superior to."

Well, I'll try to muster on the best I can.

"Please leave."

Well, easier said than done. Like Iva Toguri in some ways. Could be done at some cost...but working on it.

Flying With the Enemy

When comedian Joan Rivers was booted off a flight from Costa Rica to Newark, N.J., this past weekend, it was not because she had perpetrated crimes against the human appearance. Rather, it was because she was a potential security risk.

In a recent column, my assertion that airport security should ignore most of us and focus on bad actors (not the Joan Rivers variety of bad actor, though one sympathizes), who tend to originate from disagreeable locales (not Hollywood) and affiliate themselves with a religious denomination (not Scientology), provoked a torrent of livid e-mails to land in my inbox.
