I am less concerned with the comedians comments about the political situation, they are expressing humor...like it or not. It's the other enterainers who like to pass themselves of as serious political commentators that get my goat. Most of them couldn't spell IRAQ or USA.

I agree with you entirely. I really don't care what comedians make jokes about - it's their job and I can laugh at anything. But Holywood actors getting up on stage to voice their political views drives me nuts.
Still, I know I can always tune them out...
As for the other subject, 'Americans,' I have never heard of people in Canada, Mexico or South American states referring to themselves as 'Americans.' That's interesting, and I wonder what the breakdown is...
