Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Daily Dictator

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, January 25. 2007 11:08
It's a funny thing. Every single time there's a rumour of Fidel Castro's death floating around on the internet, there follows literally a few days later a flurry of photographs "proving" that Fidel is still alive. If that's not enough of a testament to the iron grip required to operate a Dictator-ocracy, I don't know what is. But in my search for a good article to link, I did run across another blog well worth reading, considering my favourite hobby horse, so at least I've got that.

Dance, puppet! Dance!

Handwriting experts, I expect you to do your best: The rest of this story is up to you!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*I'm glad to see you enjoy my humble dictator blog. I'm equally glad to see you poking King Hugo full of holes as well!
