Transcript:
Trff: Duke, at least listen to my plan... Duke: Trff, you don't get it-- nobody wants you back! I mean, your departure triggered two weeks of celebration in Berzerkistan! Fireworks every night, open bar at all the brothels, a massive Michael Buble concert out at the stadium... Trff: A what? Duke: After years of oppression, people wanted to swing.

So instead we get Wit and Half-Wit (you get to decide which is which).

What’s a ‘Buble’?

just as long as private business doesn’t get hold of the government, there is a chance for freedom and equality.

Democracy should not be rushed- best at small scale first- city councils get people used to the reality of it not its fantasy. Definitely not federal elections first- maybe city elections then democracy structures (such as free press) then federal elections.

Tucci, I can’t detect irony on your part, so please explain why you are using the word “wog” in your claim that the Arab world is not capable of democracy.This term is used in British English: “a dark-skinned foreigner; especially : one from the Middle East or Far East. Origin of WOG. perhaps short for golliwog. First Known Use: circa 1929.” (Golliwogs were dolls of a Black character that had very exaggerated features.)
American readers may decide if this word has an equivalent in American English.
Additionally, if you are looking at Egypt,for example, look at the role of a self-preserving military (hardly limited to Islamic nations) and the massive outside money that has fueled it for many decades.

I wonder if Trudeau, when he gets back, will finish with the Zonker grow ops story and deal with the soil destruction, air pollution, and water pollution it’s causing in California and Colorado??

LOL! I always called them soldier boy and Caribou Barbie. Great minds think alike.

That is cruel, degrading and disrespectful to compare a respectable golliwog to an Al Sharpton. You deserve a double flag.

Wog is slang word in the idiom of British and Australian English employed as an ethnic or racial slur. Considered derogatory and offensive, it is often applied in reference to dark-skinned or olive-skinned person from Africa or Asia. It can be applied to any darker-skinned people, but is used generally to refer to peoples of the East Indies and India, as well as immigrants or migrant workers from the Middle-East and the Mediterranean.-http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wog

Flagged, again, for using “wogs” the British/Australian equivalent of “nigger”. I have already written to the moderator to explain the meaning. What DOES it take to get offensive language like that taken down…?
