> [@Jebus](#): > > The government just went after them to take away coverage from the war. Yeah, that worked really well, didn’t it? Hasn’t been a thing about the war in the papers from that day to this. The media’s been so obsessed with the Enron trials that they haven’t even bothered to put reporters in Baghdad. And I think all you other people here should stop pestering **Jebus** about what color the sky on his planet is. How in the world can you expect him to answer questions about the sky when he’s sitting in a cave with his eyes squeezed shut? ---

**Happy** , while I’m not doubting that Basil said that, and said it first, I remember it most clearly from _A Fish Called Wanda_: > [@](#): > > **Jebus** : Don’t call me stupid. > **SDMB** : Oh, right, to call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. [We]'ve worn dresses with higher IQs. [We]'ve known [goats] that could outwit you, but you think you’re an intellectual don’t you, ape? > **Jebus** : Apes don’t [watch The Smartest Men in the Room]. > **SDMB** : Yes, they do Jebus, they just don’t understand it. Now let [us] correct you on a couple of things here. Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not ‘every man for himself,’ and the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, [Jebus]… _with apologies to the aforementioned film_ ---

In your reply, you might care to include any evidence you have that supports your conclusion. ---
