Then Budyonyy also demands a gold star as well as a vat of wine to swim around in with hookers.

Verdict: UNDERRATED.
Don't forget the 'stache.

to justify why Kitchener's 'stache isn't good enough.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

You're right.  The most over-rated general was the one who thought the PIAT was a good idea.

More people know who Tito was than would know any Canadian general, ever.
Indeed. I didn't even know who Crerar was.

Maybe this calls for a poll: "Most unrated WW2 commanders".
:lol:

Slim would probably still win.

Oh, and Monty can eat the peanuts out of my star-spangled shit.  Fucker took years off Ike's life, just by being in the room.
And Ike's mistreatment of Nixon justifies Monty's attitude towards Ike.

Watch your tone.  You're going to be begging me to help you with your imigration as a reference when President Bachmann gets inaugurated.

I'll just ask Zoupa for a cyanide cap if Bachmann presidency comes to pass.  It's probably cheaper in Canadian drug stores.

I dare say I have more pull within CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) then the rest of Languish Canada put together.  I know Minister Kenney from way back in Reform, not to mention my history as a long-serving servant of Her Majesty. :shifty:

Now despite being a filthy Democrat, I mostly like you.  Mostly.  So I might be persuaded to let your many transgressions pass...

Surely you are not suggesting that your personal connections might be used to arrange for your friends to be fast tracked through the system?

I give massive discounts on cyanide to Amerikkkans.

As in, 5 finger discount.

Free 99.

Snag me citizenship!  It's too damn hot here in New York.  I need to travel north. :Canuck:
