Lewis Black on America
The most important part of travel, is when you come home. Because, that’s when you see your country with new eyes.
I was amazed to realize that we’re the only country that tells the rest of the world, on a nearly constant basis, that we’re the greatest country on Earth.
And that is a little fuckin’ obnoxious.
And they know it’s obnoxious. Because, if you were in an office, and there was someone there who came in every day and said, “I’m the greatest fucker here! And you sniveling shits would die without me!” I can guarantee that by the end of the week you’d have killed him and eaten him, just to try to possess his power…
