As a graduate of Dartmouth myself, I learned that in Soviet Russia the Politburo is actually a modern version of an old-fashioned oligarchy.
Since then, and because of performing repeatedly in the creations of Bertolt Brecht, I’ve discovered that a Politburo is the traditionally Soviet word for a Communist Cosa Nostra.
However, the American Politburo, that ruling elite which is now led by Godfather Obama, instead of admiring Stalin, as you would expect?
They all look up to Mao Zedong.
Mao has ultimately become the greatest inspiration for the American Progressive Movement.
Mao is The Godfather of all Godfathers!
Surely Hollywood and its tortured geniuses would have eventually cast Marlon Brando as Mao, don’t you think?

Per Simba, perhaps we need a sort of psychological literacy test for admission to prestigious schools.

ReplyDeleteWhere's the breathalyser on the computer? I've looked . Does it have a compatible port?
ReplyDeleteYep, turns out that big phone-jack lookin mofo on the back is the wine port.
ReplyDeleteAny more tech questions?
We'll be answering all comers until Noon Bangalore time...
I suppose this is all based on Obama eating Chinese food in 1985 or somethin' definitive like that. Rather than just something that escaped from Moriarty's trousers!!!
