Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 08, 2014

Or come by later. I’ll be hanging around.

Is Rat going to do tweets by other dictators too, or is he Stalin?

This is far more interesting, Rat…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnP_F5Ir6P4

It is interesting over on that social networking site to run into present-day Italian neo-fascists, to whom Mussolini is still a hero. But Rat’s version is a much more hip totalitarian statist. Having an interest both in history and in fantasy, I’d pay a buck for his book!

Dumb post of the day. Take it to Fox News or to the Koch brothers site.

That modern day Mussolini is acting a lot like Putin.

I thought he was on the Supreme Court.

@SwimsWithSharks—Let’s hope Putin winds up like Mussolini!

“The bolsheviks hated the mensheviks despite both being similar and ultimately went to war…”

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,And the Catholics hate the Protestants,And the Hindus hate the Muslims,And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,It’s National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.Be nice to people whoAre inferior to you.It’s only for a week, so have no fear.Be grateful that it doesn’t last all year!

Oddly, @Il_Duce is a real Twitter handle. Only one tweet, though, and this isn’t it.

You’re suggesting that Obama is a “dictator”? This is such an abuse of language that I can’t imagine how your brain doesn’t implode. How can you compare him to Al Assad, Gadaffi, Mugabe, Karimov etc? At the end of his term of office he will leave the White House and in the meantime he uses the lawful tools he has been given to try to get his policies through. His success at this is patchy.

Is it, perhaps, the fact that he doesn’t supinely allow his political opponents to just have their own way? Ah, indeed:

“ce chien-ci est très méchant; si on l’attaque, il se défend!”
