Ceausescu & Jimmah

Castro is not as bad as Ceaucescu was. I think Pacepa is often good but this article gives me the feeling of the saying that when you have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like Ceaucescu.

Isn't that the Romanian saying I was going for?

Mr roT said...

BTW, AI. Did you misspell Ceaucescu? Is there a saying for that?

Tecumseh said...

(1) Yes, he's kind of repeating the same stories from 30 years ago. Oh well, we're all getting older... (2) No, of course I spelled Ceauşescu correctly -- NR mispelled it, badly, and you fell in the trap: it's an s with a cedilla under it (well, I did not have the cedilla readily available), not a c with a cedilla under it. Powww!!! Where is my 2-liter plastic bottle of tzuica? (Which is actually spelled ţuica if you bother to find the right cedilla to put under the t.)

Mr roT said...

Ah, thank you for correcting my error. Now correct yours.

Mr roT said...

Something I forgot: Powww!!

Tecumseh said...

I mean, you want me to recall all these (in addition to the stupid French diacritics)?

let's just type everything in nice and standard english letters. Save your diacratics and umlauts and cedilhas for the languages from whence they came.

Goddamned unhyphenatedAmerican AA

Tecumseh said...

Does AA stand for Anglo-American?

Mr roT said...

Asinino-American?

Arelcao Akleos said...

Assassino American, JJ. A contract should be honored, and it will be.

Mr roT said...

Oh, goody! Do I get 10%?

Arelcao Akleos said...

Sure. To be paid up once the contract is completed. Hide, JJ, hide.
