In politics and comedy timing is everything. So where were you with this bright idea eight years ago?

With regard to potato chips, a chef in Saratoga NY (you may recall Saratoga as the site of a bit of a misunderstanding between a handful of rebellious American farmers and you lot in back in 1777) invented them so we can call them whatever we want. So there.

And baseball is played in Canada and Japan. I can see Canada from my house, and I drive a Japanese car so I'm an expert on both Canada and Japan. So there again.

I'll concede the points on beer and Yank actors with bad British accents, though.
