So... what I'm gathering here is that so very many of you are stupid, not least the creator of this video. I'm not backing Romney for president -- I back the only real and capable conservative, Rick Santorum -- but this?? A video made to promote the 2002 Winter Olympics? Utterly lame.

I've got two things to say. (1) Since the Festival is open only on weekends, unless he's taking them down on Monday to hit the road with his products, his back-up batteries have five days to recharge. And (2) How did I miss him yesterday? Did I read that right? Chocolate-covered cheesecake? I'd h...

I am outraged that the other clip, wherein Appleby explains why Britain joined the EEC -- in order to muck it up, as they had for the last 500 years -- has been blocked by the BBC "on copyright grounds". Can they kiss Brussels's ass with any more tongue?

Lennox just posted reminiscences about this production on her Facebook account. A very nice trip down memory lane. Draws brilliantly on Malkovich's earlier star turn as Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons and Laurie's Prince George from Blackadder III.

The 8/23/11 America Spectator article "Ron Paul and the Neoliberal Reeducation Campaign, brought me here.

We are not "occupiers"; we are liberators. The Israelis are not "occupiers"; they are sovereign within their own territory. And however reliable a defender of the Constitution he may be, Ron...

@zoro112112 Your spelling is correct, so I presume that you weren't drunk (yet) when you wrote that, but Ireland can't even kick Germany's ass at football, and that's even after all the really tough Germans were killed in the War before they could reproduce. ;-)

This is rather uninventive. It's the moral equivalent of "you know all that stuff that really happened? well, here's what it would look like if it had all happened backwards." No reasons given, just theoretical self-abuse (and I bet the communists took it beyond the merely theoretical). If the US...

@jaimaakaalee And I suppose you consider that "spreading the good word". Look, everyone knows that Joseph Smith was a con-artist -- even the Mormons, though as I know from experience, they'll sell their own mothers before they'll admit as much. But for you to make the leap from that to thinking t...

@Rogerrramjet1 Roger, you moron! You're like a puppy dog barking at his own reflection. I DIDN'T COPY YOUR WORDS! You replied to yourself, and thought it was me. Then you saw it again, and thought it was me AGAIN! You're chasing your own tail -- you know, the one you inherited from your dog fathe...

Wow, these guys schooled them on their own piece of fiction. Do the Mormons turn these clowns out in order to discourage conversions?

Man, that was brutal. Nice work. You left that poor kid speechless.

@Wingedhussar1997 Here in the US, we have no prime minister and not much of a president.

@TheAlavrin We're not on there because we are a non-colonial federal republic (would it have been worth the trouble to put us on there for the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Canal Zone? hardly), and, of course, everyone everywhere ackowledges us as a universal and unalloyed force for onl...

Who are the 34 people who Dislike this video? Cromwellistas?

+++

@Rocka1704 Quibble if you must, but it is about the "British" Empire, so they really got the flag wrong in the animation only prior to the Act of Union. (Take heart: there's an English restaurant not far from me here in Texas, and they fly the Cross of St. George. On the other hand, nearly half t...

Charles Manson had a better grip on the future than you do.

@209northsidexiv Nonsense. There are only two kinds of people in California with any weapons skills: your criminal class and those who would sympathize with Texas. The rest of you will beg the latter for protection from the former. The result would be an interior loyal to Austin, and a coastal no...

This is so wrong. There would be only two federations, and they would fall along electoral lines. Plus, since the next electoral map will more closely resemble 2004 than 2008, the need for a second war between the states will be moot.

Dated already: Mubarak is gone, to be replaced by whoever it is that heads up the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Why are the mohammedans always the bad guys in these simulations? Because to have any plausibility, they must begin with the present reality.

It would certainly appear that the next gr...

Someone has been playing too much Risk.

We have always been allied with Eurasia. We have always been at war with East Asia.

If the United States were to divide, you may rest completely assured that Texas and Massachusetts would not be on the same side. (Take a look at the 2004 electoral map for a more plausible starting point.) A real Third World War will involve a patchwork of coalitions. Broad sweeping gestures acro...

Nonsense. The western Europeans would fold like a cheap tent. 25 years? We'd be lucky to last 25 weeks.
