Senator Palpatine

“The stupidest S.O.B. in the world!”

That is so last century, think conservative red state shade.

When is Lucas going to re-do the footage from Al Ghraib? Maybe add a taun-taun or two.

Out of the mouth of babes.

Bush is no Palpatine but Brad(the 14 year old kid from the OP) is a smart little guy.

Your mate should be proud.

I remember reading 1984 when I wasn’t much older than Brad. My father gave it to me, my mother who hadn’t actually read it but knew about it through my Da had concerns about the level of nastiness in it.

My Da was right, I was ready and so it seems was Brad. He’s all about youthful exaggeration but that’s cool, he is only 14.

Fair play to him. He’s on the right path. Question, question, question. It’s the best lesson my Da ever taught me.

“When I was a young man, studying for the gallows…”

  • The Master

When I tuned twelve, my mother told me I could read whatever I wanted.

I was walking through the halls of my Jr. High, and the Asst. Principal stopped me and inquired about Brave New World, which I carried: “Does your mother know that you’re reading this book?”

“My Mom recommended this book!”

If I am reincarnated, this memory will persist.

Too many are mellowed by soma. In reality it isn’t a drug, it complacency. Willingness to let someone else make your mind up for you. Down that path lies slavery.

George, Dick, Don, DeLay
Led us to this perfect day . . .

Do we have a bursary fund?

That was Clinton. He used to have Monica polish it for him.

Think for yourself and question authority. - Timothy Leary

No, no. That was the lead singer of Tool. That was all Maynard.

Didn’t you think Lucas was commenting on the Get Clinton For Something campaign when he had Palpatine tell Queen Amidala “If I may say so, Your Majesty, the Chancellor has little real power. He is mired down by baseless accusations of corruption. A manufactured scandal surrounds him.” ? Stuff Palpatine himself had been doing in order to take power, ya know?

Why should I?

Yes sir.

“*How * shall we fuck off, O Master?”

If you’re drawing a parallel between Binks and Rumseld I can totally see it!

“Oops! Meesa clumsy!”

-Joe(sa)

Does this look familiar?

I think I love you, OttoDaFe.

Thanks—I was beginning to wonder if anyone would get it.

(And I appreciate the sentiment. Best I not participate in any SDMB picture threads, lest I disillusion you.)

There are always two, a master and an apprentice.
So is Bush really young Annikin and Dick Cheney is Palpatine.
