I am a huge fan of both of those.  Comedy masterwork, if one is in the mood for such silliness.  I seldom an in any other mood.

Excellent.  We can have discussions even on sensitive topics while keeping it civil.

 

For instance, John previously you mentioned a politician who was “convicted” of 34 felonies.  I find no convictions of felonies, but rather only 34 misdemeanors for false record keeping, which are felonies if the intent is to conceal another crime.  Without the other conviction, those 34 revert to misdemeanors.  But without that conviction, the 34 charges aren’t even misdemeanors, for it cannot be established the records were false to start with.  It appears that a corrupt court “convicted” an innocent person, presumably for political purposes.  This was perfectly obvious to the outside observer, which contributed to his winning the office.

 

But I am open-minded.  So John, when was the trial for this other crime please?  Where is the documentation of that conviction?  How did they keep that so secret?  When was that trial, and where are the records?  Without that conviction, there is no second crime, and the 34 “convictions” are phony as a three-dollar bill.
