Hello, fat, squinty-eyed corpulent big-eared symbol of imperialism eating itself raw.

We see it all here - the vacuity, the swollen gut, the feigned surprise backed by nouveau-riche haughtiness.

We note the large, ever-expanding ears and their comically outsized proportion to the eyes, which are nearly squeezed shut from fat.

We say, "is it thus?" and the cries of a nation answer "it has always been so."
