No one ever tells me anything......

I don't mean to brag, but back in the day when my Casanova kung fu was high, my nickname was Bounty* because I was the "quicker picker upper".

*This is, of course, a lie.

But I never met the dude.

"Patriot's Day"

Ohhhh...that's why those fuckers didn't pick up my trash today.

Ahmed's picking on the wrong presidents. George Washington was just voted <a href="http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2012\/04\/15\/us-britain-enemies-idUSBRE83E0BL20120415" target="_blank">Britain's greatest enemy</a>.

This may seem a little dated, but even centuries later, feelings are apparently still raw. Matthew Hughes of London's Brunel University called him "not particularly pleasant ideologically." Harsh.

Not remotely accurate - there's noone sleeping on the benches of the House.

Yes, I have a kid at UDel, where they put the emphasis on the second syllable, so as to make it sound like an ark which is new (which presumably was the intent all along).

Largely irrelevant if Lord Ahmed is as teetotal as his alleged support of Islamic militants would suggest he ought to be.

Lesson number one of the British media:

<strong>NEVER</strong> trust the Daily Mail. Especially when they print something apparently damaging about a Labour politician. This is the paper that endorsed Hitler, and went downhill from there.

Ten million Bounty? That's a lot of paper towels.

"we utterly condemn these remarks which are totally unacceptable. ”

Now see, a person from anyplace normal would say this. Had the dude been a US Representative, the official statement would have been, "while we strongly disagree with the gentleman from Bugfuckistan, we respect his right to express those views. Then they'd bring in David Vitter to give him a big 'ol hug.

A crowd of people stood and stared. They'd seen his face before, nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.
