The Great Satan

So another US crook has "Madoff" with everyone's money. He's 70, so spending the rest of his life in prison is no big deal. They should make him and his entire family, and everyone associated with him who ever benefited from his crooked business DESTITUTE and reduced to eking out their existence from one soup kitchen to the next. But this is America, so no chance of that happening. And they said that the Communist system was inherently wasteful and unsustainable. I remember sitting through social science lectures (not a main academic interest I hasten to add) in which the smug lecturer would illustrate with a flow chart how the need for stout boots for winter in the USSR would result in massive overproduction but offset to the extent that when the over-supply of boots finally came into circulation, summer had arrived and the boots were no longer needed. How quaintly naive that all seems in the light of one man's fraud of tens of billions of dollars with no oversight from the national regulators. Send those bastards to the soup kitchens too! Talking of boots - the Iraqi journalist should have worn a pair of steelies to the press conference, and practiced his aim before turning up and missing the little twat.

He who smelt it dealt it

You know how other people's farts are obnoxious but you're quite happy to smell your own? Well, I think it has to be conceded that curry farts have to be welcome to the nostrils, whoever the purveyor. The smell is identical to when the curry was bubbling on the stove. Oh how I wish I had some of that chicken rogan josh left over from yesterday.
