I'm watching a show about Stalin.
 

Apparently during his "State of the Union" address one year, he came out and everyone started clapping. However, everyone in attendance was afraid to be the first one to stop clapping in case he noticed and thought they were disloyal, so they all kept clapping. No one would stop. Eventually, they had to ring bells to let everyone stop clapping at the same time.

Now that's power.

You really need to get cable TV

The same thing happened at one of his dinner parties, Mr. Rain Man.

In Russia, it's considered polite to belch after dining - it indicates the food was delicious. His guests all started belching and each person was afraid to stop for fear Stalin would identify them as being dissatisfied with the meal. One guy belched until he passed out in his stroganoff and noodles. Then Stalin had him shot.

Ill shoot ur ass if u dont puke after one of my meals .....

Netflixs... Or those $5 DVDs at Walmart...

I always chuckle at these dictators that force a cult of personality on the people.

Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Ho Chi Minh, and etc., all must have had some severe insecurities. Small penis? No hugs as a child? Embarrassing skin rash? Embarrassing dandruff? Irritable bowel? It makes me wonder.

D.V.R. ...

We just watched that scene when we watched "War of the Century" on netflix. Very good movie, we thought.

When Harry Truman first met him at Postdam, he wrote in his diary that he liked him, because he reminded him of Kansas City Political boss Tom Pendergast.

Shows how powerful Pendergast was in the 1930's...

Obama...

:eek:
Heh. I wonder if Pendergast was upset he couldn't raise a "canal army" of his own, and paved Brush Creek with the bones of his enemies, ala Belemor.

Symptomatic of a diseased mind, Mr. boogblaster. No question about it.

However, it does makes one very glad that, rather than demonstrating their approval of a meal with the traditional belch, those Ruskies didn't break wind instead.

Frankly speaking, nothing is sadder than watching a bunch of Commie Generals sitting around for countless hours trying to squeeze out fart after fart merely in order to placate their leader.

That is cable. It's call the History Channel. I'm guessing you were watching "Hitler and Stalin"? I think it was on History International earlier.
