James Lileks, in the process of genially sneering at a Guardian writer’s not-genially sneering at an Alabaman Olive Garden (which was apparently a stand-in for America itself):
And if we seem arrogant when it comes to beating fascism, forgive us once more, for we have something you don’t.
Practice.
Not that this is entirely true: the British at the very least kept fascism from their throats long enough for us to get there after the French caved. But James was justifiably annoyed at the time.
