Singer Alanis Morissette becomes U.S. citizen

I wonder why this keeps happening.  I wonder if America—through Halliburton—is maybe forcing our best and brightest to leave their beloved liberal-land behind and embrace America, land of the free, home of the brave, as led by President George W. Bush, conservative Republican. 

You’d think she’d want to stay here and get her some o’ that universal daycare for her new kids—at my expense and yours—that the benevolent Liberals are going to bless us with to make our land better than ever. 

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Ottawa-native Alanis Morissette is now an American citizen.

The singer was among some 4,500 people who took the citizenship oath during a ceremony last week at the Los Angeles Convention Center. But Morissette isn’t turning her back on Canada – she’s maintaining dual citizenship. “I will never renounce my Canadian citizenship. I consider myself a Canadian-American,” the singer, songwriter and musician said in a statement released Wednesday by publicist Marcee Rondan.

“There was a turning point during the ceremony where I felt connected to this country in a way that I didn’t quite expect,” Morissette said. “America has been really great to me and I have felt welcomed since the day I came here.”

When it came time for the national anthem, Morissette said, “I wanted to walk up to one of the officials to ask if I could sing the anthem.”

Instead, concertgoers at her Los Angeles show that evening were treated to an impromptu version of the Star Spangled Banner during her set.
