George Bush and Dick Cheney can lie us into war, kill nearly 5000 young Americans
kill hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, squander Americas wealth and prestige like it was his personally, preside over the near collapse of the worlds economy and the worst American recession since the great depression and on and on and they get to keep their jobs and retire to make billions in speaking fees. Wiener sends a naughty photo of himself and he's forced out with relentless media coverage and threats of investigations. Sucks.

2. But flirting is the most serious crime in the history of humanity.
And it must be punished harshly.

4. Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado Documents this (1885)
Edited on Thu Jun-16-11 06:42 PM by Demeter
SONG – Pish-Tush and Chorus.
Our. great Mikado, virtuous man,
When he to rule our land began,
Resolved to try
A plan whereby
Young men might best be steadied.
So he decreed, in words succinct,
That all who flirted, leered or winked
(Unless connubially linked),
Should forthwith be beheaded.
And I expect you’ll all agree
That he was right to so decree.
And I am right,
And you are right,
And all is right as right can be!
Chorus. And you are right,
And we are right, etc.
This stern decree, you’ll understand,
Caused great dismay throughout the land!
For young and old
And shy and bold
Were equally affected.
The youth who winked a roving eye,
Or breathed a non-connubial sigh,
Was thereupon condemned to die –
He usually objected.
And you’ll allow, as I expect,
That he was right to so object.
And I am right,
And you are right,
And everything is quite correct!
Chorus. And you are right,
And we are right, etc.
And so we straight let out on bail
A convict from the county jail,
Whose head was next
On some pretext
Condemnëd to be mown off,
And made him Headsman, for we said,
‘Who’s next to be decapited
Cannot cut off another’s head
Until he’s cut his own off.’
And we are right, I think you’ll say,
To argue in this kind of way;
And I am right,
And you are right,
Andall is right – too-looral-lay!
Chorus. And you are. right,
And we are right, etc. (Exeunt Chorus.)

continued what they began, but has expanded it.

Sucks.
