Right back at you man +rep. Spread it to your friends, it was just released today and already has been viewed over 250k times. This is a well written, humorous but accurate article.

Enjoyed reading those. Would have added "Mexico" to their list of "enemies" we get oil from. We import about as much from them as we do from Saudi Arabia- vying for #3 on our Biggest Suppliers list. More than half our imports (167 million barrels a month out of a total 294 million barrels a month) come from non- OPEC countries.

Good article, but I totally disagree with the idea that China is more dependent on us than we are on them. If they stop selling to us it will put them in a recession, but they have the ability to quickly recover and surpass the U.S. by buying from themselves.

Pretty good, although I don't think I completely agree with the section on China but the rest had some really good points.

This was the funniest part I thought:


Actually, South Korea spends more on its army than North Korea has in its entire budget.

And their StarCraft players get paid more than North Korea's generals.
