Perhaps he decided to call it quits before people started to ask him about Tom Cuise's portrayal of Stauffenberg.

Fucking Fascists (none / 0)

You ever notice how fascists never seem die when they ought to.

Hitler was wondering around like Insepctor Cluisuex, narrowly avoiding bombs and British SOE agents. It wasn't until T-34s rolled up to the Konigsplatz did we finally get rid of him.

Musilini also has many near-misses and was even famously recused by Otto Skorzeny until he was FINALED killed after Italy surrendered.

They literally have the devil's luck. They're like coachroches, they can survive being stepped on and nuclear bombs.

Rush Limbaugh - a drug-abusing, stressed-out, fatass, whiskey-drinking smoker lives on while Ted Kennedy gets brain cancer.

Why do the heroes have to die and villians live?

Why did FDR not outlive Hitler?

 

There ain't no kind of justice in this world, sometimes you gotta force it.

Are we back in fifth grade?

I was unaware that we were doing the childish name parody thing. Are you gonna pull my hair or give me a wet-willy next?

Ad homenum attacks are the hallmark of a failed debater, Ken.
