We are the champions!

Americans almost always strive to be the best at anything they do. This week's stellar achievement is the news that the country is the world's best creator of convicts with an incarceration rate that is way, way higher than the nearest population. Currently 0.75% of the nation's residents are banged up compared with 0.22% for ex-evildoers Libya, 0.21% for evildoers Iran, 0.12% for China, 0.15% for the UK and 0.09% for France. Well done everyone. I'll see you down at the parole board.
