That is actually a pretty good summary.
My only quibble is with the word 'few' which I would have replaced with 'most'.
As far as the news is concerned, the only disappointment was that there wasn't more rioting - the news is more interesting that way - but we can save that for next time. Should your people like to learn how to throw down a riot I'd recommend you Google 'Detroit'.
Mark_Wallace wrote: And Americans wonder why the rest of the world hates them.
This is incorrect.
Wonder implies curiosity and concern.
I posses neither of those regarding the rest of the world, much less any opinion they may harbor.

I cannot say I prefer the Hollywood story since I'd have to know the actual story so that I could compare them. Regarding the Hollywood story, I think Wallace should have won at the end. I contacted the director and he promised to make the changes should he do a remake.
On the whole I give your attempt at trolling a solid 4/10.
I went ahead and gave you an upvote because it's Friday.

Not to defend Hollywood but... they portrayed Wallace as highly educated. He spoke Latin, French and whatever language it is that Scots speak. 
Or are you implying that with a degree from an English university he would not have been very educated?

I would say that our govt is not at all disconnected and it is controlled directly by the people.
At least I hope it is.

A vast majority of the country wants our borders controlled.
Ain't happening.
A vast majority of the country wants no health care law.
It passed.
I could go on.
So we're left either believing that people don't know how to vote in a candidate that represents their views OR we can conclude that the pack of lying scumbags in the media/government/etc. refuse to show their true colors UNTIL they've attained power. The media (on both sides) are in on the scam because they've found it easy to make each other rich and powerful while raping everyone else.
In short, it is impossible to have real democracy with all the lies because the lies effectively cancel the vote. To make a choice you have to have a choice and it isn't offered at this point.
If you doubt that, try to get a candidate into office that will cut spending.
You can vote one in that says he'll cut spending but once in power he'll do the opposite.
If you try to recall him you'll be painted a nutter/racist/terrorist and get a tax audit shoved up your ass.

Are you referring to the congressmen or the wealthy elite that are giving us all a splintery shaft up the "output coupler" ?
As far as I'm concerned, particularly at the State and Local Levels, we have the best government Money Can Buy.

I used to own an Olivetti Laptop. It was fantastically powerful (for it's time). Twin 3.5" floppy drives, CGA (green) screen, a whopping 512k of memory, DOS 5.0 and a great keyboard, no mouse, no track-pad, no network. I can't remember the model number but it used to run for nearly four hours on one battery charge and it used to take 3 1/2 hours to do a complete rebuild of a system I was working on. The compiler, linker and source code were on one floppy drive, the libraries, etc. on the other. I recently managed to actually get the old source code to compile on my current system (Win7, SSD, Quad-core beast) - it took 4 seconds! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Probably couldn't get anything larger than a phone up their 'jacksey' given that they've already stuffed their own heads up there.

Is there nothing that can’t be solved with the judicious application of bacon? Apparently not, as this year’s Ig Nobel Prize for Medicine winners can attest.
Once more, BACON wins! For those with no taste buds, t* doesn't even get into the frame.

Can bacon make me lose some weight? 
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

|

Certainly can!*
* All foods** can help lose weight as long as you burn off the calories you consume, with BACON one slice is ~1 hour of Zumba.
**t* is especially suited as trying to consume it results in retching the entire contents of your stomach and not wanting to eat anything else for several days.

I prefer american equivalent, their scientists say that you need to watch TV for 10 hours to burn calories from Doughnut. 
How many hours I need to watch TV to burn Bacon slice and large beer?

Don't burn the BACON, that way the pig would have died in vain.

actually, yes. maybe.
some people can lose a lot of weight by switching to a diet that's high in meat, fat and low-carb vegetables.

Turn you into a vegetarian?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
