re: #204 Olsonist

The National Anthem of the United States is, of course, the Star Spangled Banner.
The National Hymn, on the other hand, is not America, The Beautiful. It’s something you (or Glenn Beck) have never heard of, God Of Our Fathers. It’s just dreck. And every time the Dems propose that America The Beautiful be the National Hymn, the Reps get their thongs all up in a twist.

And just if you don’t know, The Star Spangled Banner is best sung drunk since Key stole the melody from an English drinking song.

I’ve heard that—even seen the original lyrics—but no one can sing it sober.
