Omar's letter to Larry at Downing Street
Dear Larry My sincerest and heartfelt thoughts are with you as once again your place of residence, your very home at 10 Downing Street, is subject to great turmoil and media attention. The very place where character assassination seems to be a full time occupation rather than running the country. Has it been anything else since your current and soon to be gone itinerant servant moved in with you?

Damn Liberals
“Gentlemen, let me start with introductions,” came a voice from a speaker placed in the center of the table. “At the far side of the table is Ramses II, Pharaoh of Egypt during the exodus. To his right Pope Leo X, head of the Roman Catholic Church during the time of Martin Luther and the great reformation. Next to him is King George III, England’s monarch, when the American Revolution occurred. Our next guest is King Louis XVI, the last monarch of France (holding his severed head). Moving on, we have Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, Adolph Hitler and, last but not least, Joseph Stalin. The one thing that you attendees have in common is a distinct hatred of liberals. Am I correct?”

Mastigia.
Fungi! Nebulo! Sceleris plenissimi! These are but a few Latin words that I feel best express the deep and ever-growing outrage that I, Iuno, Regina Deorum, feel for the current state of American politics and the plight of the American people. The Senate promises democracy while simultaneously disenfranchising the People by exchanging representation for money from corporations. Did I get that right? And while there are plenty of individual politicians I could read to filth, it is your bicameral system, this Democrat vs. Republican thing that you have, that I most detest. I have a special message for each party. And let me be clear from the very beginning: both of them reek like Roman toilets.

Pro-independent Southern Cameroons in Africa
They were not so lucky these fellow countrymen of the African nation called Cameroon in central part of Africa. Of English-speaking expression, these were the cream of intelligentsia who chose to battle it out with a system that had been moribund from independence because of a culture of complacency fuelled by the active participation of political misfits who were as dull as their half-baked education could permit.

Bureaucracy Gonna Bureaucrat
You are told to stand in line to get the required form, but first get a form from the other line to get permission to stand in line to get the form to get access to other line where you got the permission to get in this line. You have to fill out this form to get permission to fill out the form that you MUST fill out to be clear to fill out the first form. Or you are breaking the law.

Talk Radio 1905
I started the company van the other day and was immediately greeted by a bombastic baritone voice booming from the radio. I’m not sure who the speaker was because, to me, they all sound alike. It doesn’t matter if it’s politics or sports, I never listen to talk radio. I want to hear music when I turn on the box, not someone proselytizing.
