Lileks kills me:

Soon, we'll all be citizens of the United Hates of Amnesia.
Chard, France

Hey, Monsieur Fragment: I have a collection of newsreels from the Vichy era; one of them ends with Petain pointing a finger at the audience, and saying “You have forgotten too quickly.” He’s castigating the French for having short memories, and not remembering how bad things used to be before the helpful Huns showed up to relieve them of their freedoms and surplus Jewry.

When we start packing up the Jewish children for removal to concentration camps, and we protest later that we knew nothing about it, talk to me about Hate and Amnesia.

This bit of sheeplism comes from the Emerald Isle:

Most Americans will most likely think that the footage beamed into their homes is unquestionably genuine, that the Iraqi doctors who treated the private are lying and that regardless of what the private herself remembers, the fridge magnets bearing her name still look nice every time they reach for a Dr Pepper.
Glen, Ireland

And every time I reach for a Guinness I remember that the Irish were neutral in WW2.

Lileks should be writing for a major paper on a weekly basis. Ah, never mind, he doesn't fabricate stories.
