Yes, Mencken is up there with the best of them. My personal favorite is:

What has 2 thumbs and is confused ?

In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed them
and if they showed us disrespect
we'd tie them up and flail them
often men of low degree
and often men of steel
who'd make you walk the plank alone
or haul you 'round the keel

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

You're a big government, pro-union, left-wing, socialist whacko and you're going to use a pirate flag for your avatar? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I always loved the "American boobeoisie" phrase. I think describing us as "the great unwashed" was also his.
