oh yaaaawn -- whoever we don't like this week is Hitler, it's getting really tedious.  a kind of reverse "I'm Spartacus" scene with the Yanks pointing randomly into the crowd and shouting "He's Spartacus!  No, he's Spartacus!"

One of my favourite  heckling stories (although may be an urban myth)

'You can't do this to me - I'm Kirk Douglas's son!' | | guardian.co.uk Arts

Joel Douglas, the less famous son of the actor Kirk, was performing at the Comedy Store and getting increasingly frustrated by the audience reaction. He started shouting: "You can't do this to me, I'm Kirk Douglas's son!" At which point some wag stood up and said: "No, I'm Kirk Douglas's son." Then someone else stood up, and so on.


Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

yo, i saw the head of the catholic delegation, institute, whatever on fux news yesterday, comparing the protesters who poured fake blood on the congregation at some big cathedral easter ceremony to nazis, because nazis broke up church services too.

whaaa?

nice try, buddy! , non va giu, (won't go down), as the italians say.

 think strasbourg goose... livers stuffed and greasy with tasty propaganda.

So hmmm, that would make Jesus' vandalistic attack on the moneychangers inside the Temple grounds also a "Nazi-like" attack?  since Nazis smashed things and destroyed Jewish businesses?

I'm reminded of the parable of the blind men and the elephant... as cast into verse by some (early C20?) wag:  "'I see,' quoth he, 'the elephant is very like a rope!'"
