I'm pretty outraged that an 18th century drinking song gussied up with lyrics from a poem by a prisoner of war concerned as to whether or not his side was winning they specific battle he was captured in IS our national anthem. America the Beautiful would have been a much better choice - but then, Americans might have to actually consider - and maybe even work on - the last verse:
