French
A people who have the guts to disagree with Bush. Unlike most other Western European countries, they have never been at war with the USA, and have been actively allied with us in the Revolutionary War and World War I.
The battlefield of Europe: The French generally dislike war due to the fact that almost half of the battles of modern Europe were fought of French soil, and the French civilians have perished by it, on their land, for over two millenia.
The second country (America was the first) to have a major revolution which favored Democracy (it didn't work out all that well). They even gave us an enormous statue for that fact.

anglo-saxon
The Germanic-speaking descendants of three tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who came from Denmark, northwestern Germany, and Holland, who settled in what are now England and southern Scotland in the fifth century, displacing the native Celts. Though they had close cultural ties with Scandinavia, they were on the recieving end of the Viking Raids from 793 to 1066, when the Anglo-Saxon government (now mostly under the control of Vikings) was annihilated by the Normans, a powerful group of French-speaking Vikings.

Sterling Bridge
The English charged across Sterling Bridge, where the Scots were waiting. The Scots charged the Sachsenach (Scotch Gaelic for english) from all sides, cutting their lines to pieces. The bridge broke under the weight of the retreating English soldiers. Humiliating defeat for England, triumph for Scotland.

fox news
Faux news
The only two major difference between Fox and The Daily Show:
1. The daily show does not claim to be "fair and Balanced" like Fox does.
2. While John Stewart tells the truth with a major Liberal spin on it, people like Bill O'Reily (affectionately known as Mr. Falafel) tell outright lies.
No wonder the station is named after an animal commonly associated with sneakyness.

Waldorf
A branch of private schools commonly found in mainly the US and Germany, and were founded by the Austrian Anthrposophist philosopher Rudolf Steiner.
Although Waldorf Schools are legitimate schools, critics continue to claim that the school is a cult, and that students are indoctrinated with the ideals of Anthroposophy. Though these allegations are probably false, Waldorf Schools do use some methods which may appear outdated or silly.
But overall it's a pretty good school.

Austin
Hometown of the University of Texas, and the Live Music Capital of the World. Arguably the greatest city in Texas, which is an easy thing to say when compared with the nearby College Station.
Austin is the only major liberal stronghold in Texas, and because of that, Republican "politicians" such as Tom DeLay, among others, once tried to remove Democrats such as Lloyd Dogget by redistricting all of Texas.
Birthplace of Whole foods, Amy's Ice Creams, the Aggie Joke, Michael Dell, that guy who plays the bongos naked (not Leslie), along with various other famous hippies.

Leslie
Hobo on drag and reaccuring Mayoral candidate commonly seen in downtown Austin, TX. Is probably now richer than Michael Dell.
Aggies often seem to use this fact to make very pathetic and off-center steriotypes about Austinites.

Leslie: the truth about Corporate America.
