Unbelievable. That was brilliantly funny, just finished reading the whole thing...

He could get half of the entire world from every country screaming hateful invective at him with that article.

And he could get half of the entire world from every country laughing along with him.

Just amazing. He managed to cram the sum of nearly every single existing racial, religious, sexual, national stereotype and insult into one article!!!!!

Thank you for that post, and may he Rest In Peace. A genius if there ever was one.

My favorirte quote from that book:

It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.
