I think they could get the necessary votes if they added Waffle Houses to the number of things constituents were allowed to ransack.

Personally, I haven't paid for a waffle in years and if you're being honest, you know you haven't either. Besides, when you buy a waffle, it's not like the money goes to the guy who made the waffle in the first place.

Arrrrrr.... waffles!

Socialist Sweden?

LOL. I knew the Americans are far right politically, but that's just ridiculous. Sweden isn't a socialist (==communist) country. Socialism is quite different from social democracy...

@Timo Kallionpää: Wait? Americans are far right politically?! We may have a number of right leaning radio hosts but the print media and televised media leans heavily to the left. We also have a president from the left and both houses of congress are controlled from the left. How did we get a "far right" label?!

@ninjamurf: Obama, along with much of the Democrat Party leader leadership, is centre-right.

Political Compass, despite it's flaws, is a good site for summarising where people stand.

Far right America?

LOL. I knew Swedes are far left politically, but that's just ridiculous. America isn't a far right (==fascist) country. Most southern states being more socially conservative than most of Europe and not having nationalized health care is quite different from being a far right country...

@David Beckford: According to that website, every EU government is also on the right side of the graph, and most are center-right.
