"America is not an elephant. For one thing,……" — Rick Mercer
"America is not an elephant. For one thing, elephants never forget, whereas Americans don't really know much to begin with. Ninety per cent of them can't pick out their hometown on an unmarked map...We're bigger than they are and we're on top. If we were in prison, they'd be our bitch."
