- Heh. When the Blue Jays won the pennant ( at one of the games when the flag
- was displayed right side up ), one of the local anchors opened up the news
- with "Well, it happened. Our Americans are better than their Americans."

- understanding of health plans...) Besides, we like having Americans around.
