God Bless America

Say what you like about the USA ... and let's face it, we all do (it's overweight, it's unequal, it's imperial, it's a state of exception, it slavishly clings to a American Dream that has long since died in the arse if it ever did exist, its super-PACs make a mockery of the last vestiges of democracy, and none are so blind as its religious fundamentalists) ... but they really do make the best pancakes.
