Tweeters spot empirical evidence that Michael Ian Black intended to refer to America as 'imperial'

It’s the 4th of July, which provides many an opportunity to bash America and its Founders.

Others believe America is a bully, but our bully. An empirical bully:

Sure, America is an overstuffed empirical bully flapping its tumescent ding-dong at the rest of the world, but it's home. Happy 4th.

Imperical, imperial — let’s call the whole thing off.
