26	!Common Tropes used in his work
27	* CulturalPosturing: Crops up regularly when Bill delves into topics that reach beyond America's borders. A good example is his analysis of football ([[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball the non-American kind]]), during which he essentially concludes that it's inferior to UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball because it's a game for poor people and "petty tyrannies", and because he (and America) "could care less" about it.
28	* DeadpanSnarker: As a political commentator this is kind of his job.
29	* {{Eagleland}}: He likes to emphasise just how Type 1 the US is (at least if it weren't for those [[StrawCharacter damn liberals!]]), particularly compared to other countries. See also CulturalPosturing.
