Checking in as another George W. Actually I’m kinda proud of this…one redneck to another 🙂 “Wait, I’m not a dictator!” you cry! Well lets look at the check list: Unelected? Check! Use wars and xenophobia to boost popularity? Check! Total control of the media so they never say a bad word against you? Check! Kill scores of innocent people to get what you want? Check! Do anything to get your hands on oil? Check! Inhumane treatment of prisoners? Check! Face it, you’re a dictator, and no amount of gloss will hide that fact… or the fact you’re a borderline retard who looks like a monkey!" ---

I’m Tony Blair, I should be able to say something witty about him considering I have to write a thesis on him due in two weeks, but laziness\>work. ---

According to the website, I’m a ringer for Joe Stalin. What’s really sort of odd is that, hours before, I wrote [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=108286) that I most certainly was _not_. I guess us tinpot dictators are a little flighty, now and then. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Steve Wright \* > \*\*I am Joseph Stalin, I tell you, I _am_… I used to be Napoleon, but I lost the hat. \*\* Ah, then there is nothing to worry about, Comrade. We have some of the finest mental facilities in the world. Officer, stop the “questioning” and get this man ready for “treatment” followed by “reeducation”. Also notify the secret police…there seem to be more imposters surfacing. Damn the capitalist pigs and their constant plots against me. ---

Whoa… Fidel Castro! 🆒 Drop by, fellow tyrants, we’ll drive up to Papa Hemingway’s beach house in '58 Caddies, light up the Cohibas and pass around the rum-and-colas. (Do make sure when leaving for home that you don’t have 150 people trying to conceal themselves in your airplane’s luggage bin, though.)
