Superbowl Jingoism

Kaptain Kinsella of the USS Blog:

"It would be an exaggeration to say that the crass jingoism of the 'performance' by country singer Toby Keith had its origins in Leni Riefenstahl, but not by much. When it happened, all of us Canadians present were stunned - and rather uncomfortable, to say the least. 'This is scary,' said one of my comrades. I nodded, and started loudly condemning al-Qaeda to whomever would listen. "
