I respectfully disagree: it is a mess, but a very cool mess—and it likely paid Cleese and Chapman's rent and flavourless English ramen-equivalent for the year. I also liked the limerick, and the incest joke (something on the order of 'I and my sisters have been trying _mightily_ to produce an heir—separately, of course.' done in Sellers' best David Niven).
Now, a treble-bill of it, "What's New Pussycate?", and "Casino Royale" might produce a cerebral blastoma that looked like a map of Carnaby Street, but.
The lava-lava, a traditional garb worn by some Samoan men, will present unique challenges when Bloomberg introduces a stop-and-frisk policy in his new kingdom.
I've spent quite a bit of time in the S. Pacific and the lava-lava is a practical piece of clothing there. Let's the air all up in there if you know what I mean. Frisking your typical Pacific Islander wearing a lava-lava might get you hacked up and fed to the sharks.
I never trust caucus results, which I think all but combine the worst aspects of democracy and bosses in smoke-filled rooms—though I admit to liking the Iowa system's resemblance to ranked-preference voting.
Yes. In addition to the time involved discouraging turnout, I dislike how caucus results get rounded and re-rounded at various steps, which results in really distorted final numbers
And don’t get me started on the apples & oranges of adding ballot vote totals with caucus vote totals and pretending it’s a meaningful “popular vote” total
I want someone to explain how they get 6 electoral votes when so few people vote. Heck, they’re way over represented compared to even South Dakota, let alone California. What is wrong with the Dems and vote allocation anyway?
“..like an overturned canoe”! Brilliant...
And for some some reason I think of the final scene of the generally unfortunate “The Magic Christian”
THANK you

Wow. Can’t unring that bell

Can someone explain to me how he won American Samoa?!
Maybe the Jehovah's Witnesses backed him there.
From what I understand it was a caucus and only like 130 people voted, and Bloomie had 7 paid staffers on the island.

Hey we will have 19 delegates at the Democratic Convention 3+X American Samoa
Arranging tryouts with the Giants and Jets for some voters?
Timely!... it was getting so that every time I saw Bloomberg, I would hear Steely Dan’s “The Fez” in my head
Me too. And every time I get "The Fez" in my head I start grooving to it and passers-by think I'm having a seizure.
“And once our arsenal is operational, we’ll take over Niihau and Lanai. Larry Ellison is defenseless!”
A fine successor to Mr Duke.
If you like conspiracy hypotheses: Bloomberg's candidacy was a feint designed to make Biden look better by comparison.
Bloombergia lol so imaginative. Maybe Billy Joel is available to compose an anthem
Finally, an anthem worse than the Star Spangled Banner.
