America #1 in prisoners!

Oh, by the way, cops kill 10 times as many African Americans as they do white people. Though like prison rates, bail issues and the war on drugs none of has anything to do with racism. The only racism in the United States can by summed up in just two words: Al Sharpton.

We are also #1 in knowing celebrity and sports trivia!  And gun deaths. And gun sales. And ammo per capita. And discounting evolution and global warming. Gosh even Iranians and the Congo have us beat on that silly crap.

Oh, and speaking of capital punishment we are far from being alone. Here is the list of places we share our Christian propensity to tie people up and drag them down hallways to be executed. If you find your area not represented on this fine list, please contact your white Republican state governor and white Republican congressional members as soon as possible. Don’t be left out on this. It’s what Jesus would do. Alphabetically:
