On British Stoicism

Andrew Sullivan gives us his 'Quote of the Day,' one which, I think, says alot about the different approaches to horror taken by the American and British publics. It's from Rob Corddry of the Daily Show (one of the best shows on TV!), in reference to the London bombings:

"Where are the country singers threatening to put boots up peoples' asses? ... Who grieves this privately? This American likes his sorrow in t-shirt form"

Maybe Toby Keith can write a song about it.
