The Official Website of America

Portrait of George Washington


Even I, a Canadian, feel pretty American when I visit The Offical Website of America. I feel pretty damn patriotic too. It is here, with the star-spangled banner waving loudly in the background, that one realizes what a kickass place the United States of America is.

With a "Born in the USA" MIDI playing proudly, the casual web surfer understands — finally — what there is to love about America. In this order, this is what makes USA so great:

  1. FREEDOM!
  2. Liberty
  3. Justice
  4. George Washington
  5. Hamburger
  6. Baseball
  7. Abe Lincoln
  8. Grand Canyon
  9. Friendly People
  10. Andrew Jackson


If that's not enough to convince you of the sheer awesome magnitude of the nation that names itself not after just one continent, but two continents that other countries happen to reside in, maybe this animated GIF will change your mind.

Now, if you don't mind, I feel the need to buy a coonskin hat, eat some beef jerky, and drive a pick-up truck. I feel this urge because of the monstrous power of the bald-headed eagle pulsating through my veins. That, and a real need to get myself to Wal-Mart soon.
