The Evil Empire: 101 Ways England Ruined the World
"They invented slums. They invented child labor. They put Sadd
am Hussein in power. They burned Joan of Arc at the stake, and they enslaved the globe to get their tea fix. We're talking about England, of course, and the terrible evils they've set loose on the world. In The Evil Empire, American author Steven Grasse documents the 101 worst atrocities of Mother England everything from foxhunting to the invention of the concentration camp. With an irreverent mix of historical facts, smart commentary, and red-blooded American arrogance, Grasse offers a devastating critique of the country that gave us the machine gun, factory labor, and the metric system. Publishing just in time for the Queen's birthday (April 21), The Evil Empire is essential reading for true-blue Americans and others oppressed by the English throughout history."

Manchester United? Yuck! Come on, man, be a real football fan and cheer on the best team in the world: Arsenal. But wait, they have many French players and a French Manager, so I'm not sure if you can support them wholeheartedly!
the kaiser chiefs are a really good band!
