Celebrating Celebrating Britain Britain

(WARNING: turn down the volume on your computer before you click on any links - some play music - LOUD music - when opened).
Diana Moon has an interesting post critiquing an article in FrontPageMag about how the British hate Jews and Americans. Basically, I agree with Ms. Moon on this, although in gneral her politics are far to the left of mine.
Personally, I think that aside from the occasional columns by Lawrence Auster and Robert Locke, FrontPageMag is nothing but a shrill neocon cesspool that allows Mr. Horowitz to bask in delusions of grandeur. Which makes it surprising that in person (by which I mean watching him interact with other people on television), Mr. Horowitz seems to be a much more subdued individual.
But one quote from Ms. Moon bothered me:
"If you hate a group of people (i.e. Americans), then why would you laugh at their comedians, embrace their popular culture, knowing that for the most part the interest is not reciprocated?"
We ought to reciprocate. And what better way than to flood the airways for requests for "Reach Out for the Sunrise", the new single by Duran Duran from their album Astronaut, released a week ago. Or by buying the album.
The album's already at #2 in Italy and #3 in the UK. C'mon and make it #1 in the US! (The single is at #30, but the album has not yet placed).
