Compare and contrast.

Calling it "Das Poutine" was a dead giveaway.

Germans will fly over the US soldiers stationed in Germany and drop chocolate bars from DC3s because the US soldiers are not being fed by their own US govt? Talk about full circle.

Gifts that say “I care.” And also “ya absolute tool.”

The world could have easily done without one more accountant or lawyer, but not with one less Python or Fawlty Towers proprietor.

Reminds me of that classic Winnie The Pooh bit where Pooh Bear gets stuck in the doorway.

I think the fact so many Americans rally behind a rapist just displays what the every day victim experiences. They don’t even care he’s a rapist.
