Britain Invades Manhattan

On February 9, 1964 the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and thus began the downward spiral of American culture and the slow demise of Western civilization as we knew it. It took them almost 200 years but the British finally paid us Yankees back for stealing the Thirteen Colonies from them in 1776.

But we've patched it up with "Merry Old England" since then and, even though both our countries are going to hell in a handbasket, we often go marching off to war together as if all that unpleasantness had simply never happened.
