That's a wonderful story, Call me Lennie. My parents hated the show, although they let me watch it, because they said that there was nothing funny about the Nazis. I think they saw the show as a form of disrespect to those who had died. They didn't understand something that Alinsky understood so well -- short of force of arms, ridicule is probably the most potent weapon one has against an enemy.

‘sfunny, 25 years later, when Bob Crane bought it in a Scottsdale hotel room, they questioned John Banner and he was still singing the same tune, “I saw nothing, I know noithing!” That’ll teach you to screw with Sgt Schultz. Other theories of course point the finger at Major Hochstetter and the Gestapo

But seriously, Bookie, the Schultz video gives me the opportunity to bring up a true story. My younger sister was doing Europe on the Eurailpass plan some thirty years ago, and for some reason she muttered the Schultzie catchphrase to herself. An elderly German woman sitting across from her looked at her astonished and said “Why did you sasy that?” My sister began to explain that she was a big fan of this American show called “Hogan’s Heroes” and that this was the catchphrase of the Schultz character , when the woman interrupted “Yes, I know that. My name is Lotte Klemperer — my older brother, Werner, played Colonel Klink.”

So here my little sister channels her inner Schultzie and ends up befriending Klink’s sister. What a small world!!

Spot on, Book!

The Obama decision tree when answering an interview question:

1. Can I answer this truthfully and knowledgeably?
Yes: 1% of the time. No: 99%.
(Hey, everyone can get lucky 1% of the time…)
2. If no, can I construct a deceptive straw man argument and pretend that I am objective when I’m really just f*cking with your head?
Yes: 20% of the time. No: 79%
3. If no, can I blame the current evil, obstructionist Republicans?
Yes: 15% of the time. No: 64%
4. If no, can I blame George W. Bush?
Yes: 50% of the time. No: 14%.
Thank you, lickspittle obsequious butt-kissing mainstream media for the ease of this one!
(But this tactic is getting less and less effective with each passing year. Still, it’s a winner…)
5. If no, can I claim that it’s not my responsibility, that someone else did it? Not me! Not me!
Yes: 14%. Duck and run. But the people are starting to reject his defense that he was too busy golfing.

Yes, and according to the 6,000 word New York Times story last year, our genius president regularly consulted the works of St. Augustine and St. Thomas in deciding whom to kill in a morally thoughtful way.
