    Decline of an Empire

    It is so obvious that the short lived reign of the USA as the worlds only Superpower is over. The inevitable defeat of the military in the sands of Iraq, the decimation of the manufacturing sector. The idiot King picked by the "wisemen" and woman on the USSC to replace the thoughtful and intelligent choice of the people. And now the final cultural decline into the sad insipid gutter. Paris Hilton is the perfect symbol for what our country has become. Now the whole world just wishes that we would “go away”.
