Sometimes you feel ashamed to be an American. Between an unpopular war in Iraq and our failure to curb pollutants we are not poised to win an international popularity contest. Other times you meet people like Andrew Jeffery Wright and Rose Luardo who make you change your mind quickly. Recently they performed comedy at the Thirty Days Gallery in Tribeca. There they opened for Fred Armisen. In between corny zingers thrown at the audience by Andrew and Rose staging interruptions, I at first really didn't know what to think. Then Rose and Andrew began to pass each other homemade signs with all-American iconography on them. I felt like I finally understood what it meant to be an American. Being an American is about self-expression and fun. A favorite sign was a Hamburger holding up a hot-dog centerfold with red-white-and-blue stars blasting around it. Awesome. I started to think: thank-you. It's about time someone has made me proud.
