I prefer the Charlotte Rae rendition myself. Or perhaps the 
ditty about 
"we're going to stamp out hate, 
poke it in the eye ..."

I HATE intolerant people ;-)

As you said, you cannot unite unless you are uniting
against someone or something...

Rather than Lithuanians, I would like to recommend the
Brazilians as a suitable target. Sure they are good people 
with beautiful women, lovely beaches, great soccer players,
beach volleyball, tangas, etc., but they are starting to 
export people at a pretty good clip. We could be ahead of 
the curve and start telling Brazilian jokes. As a card-carrying
Brazilian, I promise not to get too offended. Just don't 
insult Pele'.
