Transcript:
Phred: Comrade Phred, reporting as ordered to General Tang! Man: Yes, sir-- his office is in the lobby. Won't you please sign in... Phred: Good to see the PRG let you stay on, man. Man: Um... do I know you? Phred: Take a closer look-- I used to work this hotel as a secret VC operative. Man: Why... of course! The sneaky-looking bellboy! Phred: Stay cool, baby. Man: Boy! You sure had me fooled!

Picking up on the “snotty teenager” comment from yesterday, if the BBC Harry Enfield sketch of Kevin turning thirteen didn’t make it to that side of the pond, watch it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLuEY6jN6gY&feature=kpIt’s nearly 25 years old now, so the clothes and the references are all well out of date, but the basic message is still as valid as ever…

Look too obvious and folks will assume it can’t be you due to the fact the obvious culprit on TV is never the real one.

Stunning (and very telling) that Trudeau is ignoring the collapse of Obamma’s administration. So much he is missing out on. Holder, Lerner, hashtag pr. etc. Scandles everywhere!!!

@ bawana said,“General TANG- I love it!”.(Everybody else, feel free to ignore the paste under the comment, too long for you, I imagine.).You seem to think Tảng was imaginary, possibly even an orange drink, but stolen from Wikipedia:.“Trương Như Tảng lawyer and politician living in France. He was active in many anti-South Vietnamese organizations before joining the newly created Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam as the Minister of Justice. He spent many years in the jungles near and in Cambodia until the Fall of Saigon in 1975. He quickly became disillusioned with the newly imposed North Vietnamese regime and escaped the reunited Socialist Republic of Vietnam via a boat in August 1978. He was sent to a refugee camp in Indonesia before moving to Paris, France, to live out his life in exile..“The nationalist forces in the south were brushed aside in favour of communist cadres from the north. In 1978, only two years after North Vietnamese forces finally took Saigon and united Vietnam under the Communist rule, Tảng became disillusioned with the government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, which he believed did not give equal standing to southern sympathizers. Not helping matters was the imprisonment of two of his brothers in North Vietnamese reeducation camps. While it was supposed to last only thirty days, the imprisonment of his younger brother, Bich, a director at the National Bank, was prolonged, and he was released only after many months of lobbying on the part of Tảng. The older brother, Quynh, a doctor who worked with the Health Ministry, was moved to a high security camp in the north where he was incarcerated at least until 1985. An estimated 1 million people were imprisoned without formal charges or trials.”

Funny how the press never reports when Obama’s popularity rises, as it has often (he’s more popular at this point in his administration than he-who-must-not-be-mentioned was). But yeah, they’re sure in the tank for him!

You should stop reading crap like Doonesbury and Family Circus and read some higher quality stuff, then. We’ll all be happier.

Interesting how Plopsie, who can’t figure out how to get an avatar, has all of 15 posts, the most common of which is “I don’t get it.”I’m not concerned with hurting his/her feelings, since, as with all trolls, s/he is a drive-by poster.
